James, Just wanted to report a strange occurrence. While typing and reading on this forum (including just now) I have about a dozen times been redirected to another website for "atomickittenband". The website is musicatomickittenband.com/?id=2001&k=ee3e14dc7&d=1&s=31 - though each time the characters after the URL are different and each time the page I go to is blank. (I think these extra characters are data being passed from one php page to another - I know how to do that in php - but I don't know why the target page would be blank.) All this suggests to me that someone has got into your php, perhaps through a malicious post, and substituted or added a URL so it comes up from time to time. If others have found this problem, perhaps you need to approach ProBoards about any security updates. If no-one else has had this problem, perhaps I need to look at my own computer?? Hope you can resolve it. Has anyone else found this?

I haven't had this, but recently ad-banners have gotten nastier, with redirects, spyware, etc. It could be some malicious ad that's doing this.

It's not happening to me today, despite continuing on yesterday after I posted. If it was caused by an ad as you suggest, that could be an explanation. I guess we can just keep watching out.
(But I notice I am now getting an anti spyware ad!)
