Forum Redirect Issue Through Google

[Aslan]

It appears that when you go to the Smart Canucks forum through Google, someone has hacked a redirect link that may contain a virus.

This only happens if you search for Smart Canucks through Google, and click the Forum link through the Google result. I have tested this both with my phone, as well as my home computer, both of which are virus free.

The simple solution is to avoid going to SC through Google, and typing the URL in directly.

Thanks.

Aslan - do you know if this is the case for Swagbucks? I use their search engine all the time to search for SC.

I just tried it through Swagbucks, and I didn't have any problems. The issue is something obvious, as the redirect links away from SC entirely and onto another site.

However SB does use Google as their Search Engine so I would avoid going through search engines entirely until the Admins manage to fix the issue.

Thanks Aslan.

I have the forum and the blog as bookmarks, so i don't bother with a search engine.

I have had it on swagbucks and google, it redirects through a tinyinfo page

I dont really know anything about computers ,so not sure if this is related to the issue i am having.For the last several days when i log on to SC,it logs me off every so often,and i have to keep signing in.I though it was my computer,but I have the same problem when i log in while i am at work.Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks

I would think unrelated but yes, I am having that issue, it does it when I edit posts too

I've notified Boo to have him look into it.

I've been having this issue (the redirecting through google) for the past month or so now.......I originally made a post about it here:

http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/270247-...cks-ca-canada/

The only thing that's changed since then is the page it's redirecting me to.

Boo has been working on this issue for almost a month, thus the upgrade to v bulletin happening shortly. Unfortunately there wsa no easy fix. But he has been aware since the first post about this
