@ rajibando

You aren't alone! I was also redirected to somewhere else while trying to access the forum via the link (http://knoppix.net/forum/forums/3-Th...pix-net-Forums) provided by Google today. In fact, it has happened to me quite a few times within these 2-3 months; Adult Friend Finder is the website I have seen most often. The most bizarre thing was that the same link could take me to the forum at the 2nd attempt (going back and forth). At one point, I thought I was delusional as I couldn't find other folks had mentioned it in the forum, so I decided to keep my mouth zipped up till today.


@ Werner

If I visit the link (http://knoppix.net/forum) as a guest, there is an eBay's logo shown at the bottom left corner of the page. Not quite sure if it's considered as an advert.


@ Administrator

There isn't a persistent overlay running on my Knoppix box, and visiting the forum was the very first thing I have done after booting up at around 2pm (BST). When I visited the forum directly via http://knoppix.net/forum, I was told that the website was under construction (can't remember the exact wording) and saw the animation showing a yellow guy banging his head on the keyboard. Afterwards, I turned to Google and used the link (http://knoppix.net/forum/forums/3-Th...pix-net-Forums) to visit the forum, and that's the point which I was redirected to elsewhere. Hope this info could be of any help to narrow down the cause.


ps: Aduit Friend Finder isn't my cup of tea....
