schnit Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I don't think this has already been discussed, but when one googles "adi forums" the first time the link is clicked it redirects to a different site, url4short (dot) info. At first I thought I had a virus, but it happens on every computer in the house as well as computers I've never touched before. From what I've read it appears to be a forum server side malware type bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Action Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 This still seems to be an issue for this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessicajlemmon Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Same here. I've been going to the forum through the ADI site just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabtastic Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's been like this for roughly a year (that I know of). I'm guessing ADI is not that concerned. although I would like my screen to not pop up with adult friend finder while I'm at work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZdrinking Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I was just made aware of this problem a couple of weeks ago and the problem resulted in a vulnerability in the code of the forum platform the ADI and a number of other online forums use. The vulnerability has been fix the but the redirect bug is still there. Short term fix: I've found that typing adiforums.com into the address bar of your web browser avoids the redirect bug. If you Google ADI forum and then click on the link that's when you hit the bug. Long term fix: We are looking for a programmer with sufficient knowledge and experience to remove the bug without significant downtime for the forum. If you guys notice any other problems please let me or Christy (Chowery) know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebstauffer Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It used to be bad with the URLINFO ridiculous redirect but the porn (Adult Friend Finder) is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabtastic Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 It used to be bad with the URLINFO ridiculous redirect but the porn (Adult Friend Finder) is ridiculous. Yeah that was a little awkward when it popped up in front of my roommates.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZdrinking Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I wanted to let everyone know that this redirect problem has been addressed and it shouldn't be a problem anymore. If anyone continues to encounter this problem, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
