I'm getting forwarded to arcaderockstar.com immediately after logging in. Possibly something screwed up in the ad scripts along the right side. Only happens on ae so I know it's not spyware.

yea, and its very annoying...

Glad it just aint me..

I was able to make a few route changes, having to hit stop after the page loaded for a second, but it's too much of a pain in the ass to play like that. I'm going to wait until it's fixed before continuing.

I've been able to login just fine...

[snaiks]

yea im also getting this, gets preety anoying, im gonna try the stop thing to see if it works. or mozilla

[snaiks]

yea, mozilla doesnt send you to the arcade page

[Canadian]

Yeah I use Firefox, so that may be why I'm not getting it...

[Scalpel4]

I use Firefox as well, I also get it with IE. Think it has something to with the ads posted. I've been doing a lot of PS3 game searches latey, that's revising my ad listings. I've flushed my cache and cookies though and it still does it. I've also turned on my web filter which slows it down and stops some, but it's still there.

I also use Firefox and I get redirected. It'a a big pain.
*Note*
I just loged on and it doesn't do it for me anymore so....

[Scalpel4]

Clean here as well. Thanks TW or Miller for getting those ads out!

It's still there. Anytime the Gamefly ad is served the page gets redirected to Arcaderockstar.com. Very annoying, but if you have Firefox, just disable images.

Yup, they're still there. I notice that it is the Gamefly ad that seems to be doing it.

[Scalpel4]

Me to. Here we go again!

I just sent this to Gamefly:

I just picked up a PS3 this morning and I was about to be a customer of yours when I logged onto my favorite site and your banner advertisements kept redirecting me to this page instead of the page I was trying to view:
http://www.arcaderoc...ck_hash=111bYaS

Basically whenever I visited a page with your banner, the page would reload and send me here instead. Sounds wierd I know, but I just cannot accommodate a company that won't use web advertisers that don't know what they're doing.

Here's the ad company you're using:
http://testdrive.adb...=179049&afsid=1

HEre's the line of code it was launching:
<script src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=179049" type="text/javascript"></script><!--
--><a href="http://testdrive.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=179049&afsid=1"><img src="http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/adbrite-your-ad-here-leaderboard-w.gif" style="background-color:#30414E" alt="Your Ad Here" width="14" height="90" border="0"></a>

Here's the site that I was trying to view

http://sim.airlineempires.net

Since it only happens when your Gamefly ad pops up, the advertiser is to blame, not the original site. I recommend you have your advertiser fix this problem before you lose any more potential business as a result of this.

[LOT 737-300]

That banner is a real pain, I hope they fix this, as it makes playing and reviewing very hard.

I run Internet Explorer and it hasnt been doing it to me... very odd
