I know it's OT but anyone else have this problem? It's happened on 2 different computers with 2 different IP services.

Thanks for letting us know. :thumbdown: Anyone else seeing this behavior, please post it here. My guess is that it is some sort of spyware but I want to be sure that there's not something server-side that's causing it.

I had it happen to me twice yesterday, but I wasn't on here at all yesterday, so I don't think it's just this site.
 
This just happened to me too.

If anyone else sees it, please give us as much info as you can so we can figure out the problem ASAP.

Thanks.

(Also feel free to "report" these issues).

 
If this happens to you, please post here as Keith said and let us know what broswer and version you're using if you know it. And also what item it directed you to at Ebay.

Thanks.

Good info here. Everyone who has been redirected from FBG to eBay at some point -- were you using any sort of ad-blocking software at the time you were redirected?
 
I didn't get redirected but the Footballguy.com logo is screwed up when in a non-maximize window when using IE 7.0, it is fine however when the window is maximize.

 
It has happened on multiple occasions, but not just with FBG. It has also been happening with Profootballtalk for me.

 
When Joe made the announcement about the site changes (advertisements) I noted in that very thread that I've been receiving pop ups.................and it's annoying. :sadbanana:

If it's adaware it'll start happening more and more regardless of the sites you visit.

Same here. The Footballguys.com logo at the top with the yellow face is getting squished out of its location and putting it below where it doesn't belong. It only happens when the screen isn't maximized, and the window is not wide enough to support the ad and the logo.

Actual pop-up or pop-under ads or ad banners that expand on the page? I've not fielded any complaints about the former at all, but we're actively requesting that folks report the expanding banners because we're working with our ad partner to make sure they are all removed. Many times the popups can be caused by spyware like Zango.com but only triggered on certain sites or pages with certain keywords.
 
i was just sent to ebay when i got to the main forums page -- before i even clicked on a forum (ie7). i was on the boards a lot yesterday and saw this thread, but didn't have any issues then. :goodposting:

 
you guys just learned a valuable lesson why you dont use IE/Microsoft, Fire Fox is where its at.

What's "Fire Fox"?

Firefox is a Clint Eastwood movie. See my sigIt's also a web browser

I actually do know this and I :popcorn: Firefox. Think it's funny though when people add a space between fire and fox. Maybe they don't actually use the browser because, well, isn't the word "Firefox" in front of their face right now?

Are you stupid? Some firefox users (myself included) have reported this happening to us. Wow did you just start using firefox? It's been around forever and isn't a secret stop trying to act like you are wiser by having firefox as it happens with firefox as well it just hasn't happened to you yet. Next someone is going to come in here and be like I have Opera!
