RF redirecting to www.aspiescentral.com

[Augustus]

Does this happen to anyone else?

It's happened to me twice now that I'm just normally browsing the forum and then get redirected to https://www.aspiescentral.com/. After this point any time I click on the forum, old links, bookmarks, etc it automatically redirects to this site.

If I clear my browser cache/cookies/etc. the problem disappears. No malware is being picked up on my system either.

First happened a few days ago, and just happened again now.

Is this just my computer or is it an issue with the forum?

Happens to everybody now and then.

Ok, thanks for letting me know.

 

[Jumi]

Never happened to me.

 

[Terese]

One time it did for me.

"...everybody other than Jumi, now and then."

When it does happen it is a little annoying and confusing. Maintenance related...but not sure how to exactly describe the what or why my self.

Since we've had it brought up a number of times, I'm thinking we should probably post a sticky about it - at least temporarily/until the sites are no longer linked.

It's happened to me 3 times. In fact I almost signed up to that forum instead of this forum.

Not all religious folks have autism. I don't see the connection.

Never had it happen. Short of an affirmative from the Admin's here I would lay the blame at your computer's browsers feet. Something is not right when you get redirected.

It happened to me for three days straight, and even showed in a google search as such. I cleared the chrome cache and also had to change something in settings and then extensions under the google chrome control panel, and it seemed to stop, now. Not sure if there was a connection, but I googled 'when a website is redirected to another one' and that was one of the advice posts that popped up.

I was wondering if this was intentional or not. Hasn't. happened to me. Not yet anyways aside from the intrusive pop ups.

I haven't had it happen (yet) but Turk was trying to get on here a little bit ago and never could as he kept getting redirected to that site. He just gave up entirely.

Once, I'd been posting at aspiecentral for a week....until I noticed it wasn't RF.
The tip-off was not receiving any infractions from the mods.
Dang neurotypicals on staff !

It hasn't happened to me. For those who have had it happen, do you use Chrome? Or has it happened with Firefox?

I use Chrome.

Hmmmm, I recently switched to chrome from safari and it has happened twice since then. Never happened on safari, but I suppose this could just be coincidence (or not).

 

[Madhuri]

I have a theory that this happens specifically on Chrome. I used to get redirect and pop up problems a lot on Chrome, not just with RF. Haven't had any issues since changing to Firefox.
Am looking to see if anyone has a contrary experience.

 

[Draka]

I've never had it happen and on my PC I use Maxthon and my Fire is Silk (crappy slow browser that Amazon makes you use and won't allow the download of any other).

Hasn't happened to me while using Firefox / Pale Moon.

I'm on FireFox and it hasn't happened to me. (I have settings which delete my browzer history so that may help).
