Is This Happening To Anyone Else?

Is This Happening To Anyone Else?

you get on a NY bound plane & it lands in Berlin.

Okay so maybe not Berlin, but I clinked on Brad's WB 5.5 Release thread and I got taken to "Messed up Titlebar" by run3_knight....another time I clicked on Jafo's "People will hit me but..." and ended up in some old thread from early 2005 called "A trip down Memory lane is nice but"

These are just two instances of many where I've been hijacked to a thread other than the one I had intended to go.....and worse still, posting a reply and suddenly being cyber transported to a completely different site advertising or promoting some sort of hobby or interest. This usually happens when tying to the far right of the text box, and most often the site I've been taken to has some bearing or relevance to words contained in the merssage/reply...for example the word darned will take me to a site related to darning, sewing, knitting, etc.

I had this problem before and did all the usual hijacker/spyware/malware and virus/trojan searches...also deleted all my cookies, etc, etc, but it would still happen just the same. It went away on it's own a day or so later...but now it's back (twice tonight) and a real pain in the arse cos the whole reply is lost and has to be redone.

I can understand being redirected to another link internally because of site recoding and etc, but not externally. Could it be there's a text sensitive bot or something planted on WC by some low-life scumbag to push spam similar to that we too often find in emails? Dunno what's cauusing it, but I sure cas hell hope somebody can fix it cos it's really starting to piss me off.

Now that's something YOU can't blame on PO`....nor the fact that I resemble YOU saying it. I'll have you know that it takes years of training and dedication to qualify for a buffoon hat....and being that I own three now, you can tell I've been hard at work.

Oooops...forgot to add the dozen to that.

Oh, and I neglected to mention the four boxes of clown hats in the attic, in addition to the two in my closet for regular use.

"What makes the dawn come up like thunder?"


Curried cabbage....'Dawn' loves and consumes it by the bucket-load....hence the thunder!

Actually, I blame Po` for only one thing. That's getting me missus hooked on his music site....but it don't hurt ne ears none so I ain't complainin'.

BTW, Po`...hope it all went really well for you on the night of your gig....standing ovations all 'round.

Never did get a PROPER answer....darned hijackers.

SO, has anyone else been hijacked from WC to the politicians bullshit club...or the advertisers 'lets dupe 'em site...or the'let's knit a sweater while we wait in the bushes for the 'tits' to reveal themselves??

Just wondering cos I had another strange experience....ended up on a page about Christopher Walken the actor running for U.S. President.

Yep, honestly, I was taken to a page with campaign literature regarding Christopher Walken's run for U.S. Presidency. Dunno if it's fairdinkum or not, but that's where I ended up.

In either event, I'm gonna stock up on tin foil....things are getting pretty weird around these parts.
