    Website infected?

    Does anyone else suffer from being directed to spam sites when using the back button on the forum. This is the only site that does it and takes me to sites like this:

    Survey

    Also, when I log on, it registers me but says it's directing me to an invalid path.

    Any ideas Mark?

    Not me (tried it Chrome and IE on a PC, and Chrome and Dolphin on a phone).

    What OS and browser are you using? I take it you've done a virus/malware check since this started.

    No; can't say I've encountered that before and I can't think of a way that this could be engineered from the server side.

    Yes, I have sort of the same problem. Only I don't get actually redirected, but the first page remains. When I look at the "recent pages" there are spam sites which I never visited.

    Oddly enough, I hadn't encountered this problem until I tried to read this thread

    If your browser supports ad blockers, that might help. I'm using an Opera browser and I've previously had to install an ad blocker and fecesbook blocker to stop ad sites intefiering.
