Site hijacked?

Postby 58gambling » Thu Sep 14, 2017 5:44 pm

Last couple of days I have noticed this site is acting strange. First, new ads are popping up with sound interrupting, and it's something I never saw before, as I am reading the posts. Secondly, the page keeps jumping back and forth constantly every couple of seconds as I'm trying to read and it seems out of control...
Has this site been HIJACKED or HACKED????

I have decided not to come back to this site for a while. The mods or owner of this site need to know that it is not working properly, with the interrupting loud audio ads and the erratic flickering around of the page which prevents one from reading the posts. They may have in fact initiated this change, which is rather irritating and self-defeating.

Yeah I have had that happen a few times too, thought it was my internet connection but might just be gremlins in the works? Who knows?

I thought it was fixed, but it's happened again while I was trying to read one of the threads......
loud commercial music comes on, and the page starts jumping back and forth, preventing you from reading the posts.....

Sorry you are experiencing this . I am using an ad blocker ( free version ) and it doesn't occur when I am on the forum .

The site is undergoing some upgrades / maintenance at the moment and Admin has been made aware of this issue . You aren't the only one experiencing it and hopefully it will be fixed soon .
