Link Redirecting?

Haylen · Post Post #0 (ISO) » Sun Apr 10, 2011 4:24 am

Hey. Sometimes, when I click on links, it takes me to a totally different page. For example, I clicked on Mikeburnfire's thread in GD, and the Scumstorm page came up :/ This isn't the first time it's happened, it's happened for ages. I thought I was just aiming wrong with my mouse, but I swear I didn't this time.

No idea what's going on with your problem (sorry), but /pre-in to Charlie the Unicorn mafia. <3

Hrm. Check your malware/virus scanner? I can't think of any reason for that to happen...

Well, I would have said the same thing because that kind of thing has happened to me before and it was a virus attached to my browser, but if it's just sending her to other mafiascum pages, that doesn't sound like the problem...

Edit: Still, it's a good idea to scan your computer though in any case.

Similar deal on my DSi. I keep getting redirected to the UCP, even when I'm not hitting it.

Haylen, are you on a mobile device?

Does a laptop count?

Virus/Malware scanner found nada. It's weird cause it does it on facebook sometimes too.

Maybe it's something to do with your browser parsing URLs incorrectly, dropping the $_GET parameters or something.

*shrug*

Well, it's definitely something.

Sometimes the color yellow won't work on it, but I can't quote or edit anything on it either.

In any case, I'm thinking it's more your DSi's browser's problem than the site's.

Alright. Then it's Opera.

Nope. I have Opera and it's working fine.

Maybe it's the DSi version of mobile Opera or something. I see no reason why that would be happening only to him, other than that he's gotten a virus on his DSi. And I don't know how likely or unlikely that is. In my experience Opera has been as flawless as the best of browsers, and even moreso in some cases. It was a smart choice for Nintendo to use it. I'm just not sure why things aren't rendering correctly for some people, and/or random pages appearing at the wrong times for other people. It's rather inexplicable.

Nope.

Opera mini for mobile or for the nintendo still works fine.

And I don't think it's a virus. There aren't that many viruses for non-PC things.

EDIT: Actually I remember stuff like this happening to me at another computer but not on MS. I thought it was because I pressed a button wrong but it was impossible because the button on top and I was at the bottom.

Maybe ani just has chubby fingers then. Or a chubby stylus or w/e. ^_^

Have you SEEN my fingers? Oh, wait...
