I don't know what you boys got. I'm half thinking your systems got infected with something that's hijacking requests to the forums. The other half makes me wonder if the forums got hacked somehow for some people and not others.

Does the problem go away if you disable Javascript in your browser and then you visit the forums?
Thanks, sir. It worked.

India. I am 108 posts old,even if we had the same timing i doubt you would know me ;)
Where abouts in India? A kind of big country, even if it is just one time zone. But at least we know you're coastal. ;)

Thanks, sir. It worked.
OK. That makes me suspect that the problem is at your browser end and not at the forums server side. If you had a Windows PC, I'd say you had some local malware installed hidden in your folders that was hijacking your browser by injecting random Javascript requests to suspicious web sites on occasion. With Macs, that's possible but far more unusual.

Watching Young, Broke, and Beautiful on IFC. Visiting the Memphis underground this episode. Al Kapone and Three Six, baby.
I like that show. Was just watching last week's Nola one an hour ago.

:( How do i beat this damn malware thing? been scanning and found nothing!
You Windows or a Mac? I've had something similar on one of my Windows PCs I had to rid myself of. Never had it on a Mac though. To get it off my Windows PC, I had to either rollback the system to a previous snapshot, search my system for strings that might be originating the malware calls in Javascript, remove a Firefox plugin, or run something more heavy-duty in the malware scrubbing realm.

System restore seems to have fixed it +rep

I have a cousin I've never met coming in from Chile tonight. She wants to go out. I hope she's not a gimp because I'm going to lose my shit tonight and she's going to see it all.
