    I got it, thanks.

    Not much I can do without experiencing this for myself.

    A few more questions:

    1). Does it happen only when one clicks on a thread link? What about forum links?
    2). Does it happen when you click on a thread link from the message board home page or when you click while viewing a forum?
    3). Is it threads from a particular forum or any forum?

    It happened to me, too. I was at work, meaning Microsoft with a company network and main server, and they use LANDesk antivirus.

    I was on TGG, was signing off to go I think to CNN, and that website came up. adultfriendfinder.

    I'm guessing it's some sort of adclick exploit that puts code in a banner to substitute links on a page using javascript. If so, it would have to be the right ad rotated onto the page at the time you were looking for the problem

    I am 99% sure it's some kinda JavaScript code. The thing is I've looked all over the server and could not find any recently edited files at all. I am going to try to turn off some of the ads and see if the problem disappears.

    Btw, has anyone experienced this issue on theganggreen.com at all (not the forum)?

    I'm rarely there, pretty much on forums

    I had it happen to me on an iPad and my iPhone. Didnt happen on my desktop.

    The link above looks like it has a referer id in it, if so whomever put that on the site might be making money from it. You should contact adultfriendfinder and let them know the link so they can deny the guy payment.
