Maxman Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thank you to everyone who reported the redirect issue. Thank you for your patience while we worked that out. The site was hacked, there was malicious ad code injected in a plugin. The good news is that it wasn't related to the ad network. We have removed the code and all of our scans are coming up clean. More good news, we have worked out a way to easily detect this in the future. We also upgraded several things on the server so the site should load even faster now. We are doing a few more things tonight to completely lock the site down and stop if from happening again. This part is unrelated but due to the traffic here, we may have to restrict guest viewing at times during the draft next week. Since last month was our busiest month ever we expect record traffic during the draft. If we get to the point were we need to, we will disable guest viewing temporarily to keep everyone posting. What does it mean? If you are logged in to the forums, you are good to go. If you aren't logged in, log in. If you don't have an account, you should create one just in case so you aren't shut out during the draft. I hope we don't have to do it, just wanted to mention it since it is something that is being considered right now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had someone check out the setting here and he said it hasn’t been blocked, it’s nit connecting to the site because of an RCL protocol. I tried Chrome and IE and it won’t connect. Not sure if any other people are affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
