Redirecting to main board problem

same here i been doing the same thing on my fourm for years and all of a sudden this. some of my members are having the same problem.

this just worked for me as well thanks

[glow=red,2,300]never mind, thanks for help, it stops redirecting if you have this proboard in your favs, delete it from ur favs then type it in the url bar up top , then add it again, it works perfectly !

a tip to all! [/glow]

your welcome, but i didnt figure it out someone else did.

if you have this proboard in your favs, delete it from ur favs then type it in the url bar up top , then add it again, it works perfectly

okay, I am in two different proboard groups at present. I'm the admin in one and a global mod in the other. and was involved in two other boards that I left.

the one that I am admin of, we keep ad free. we have never had a problem on that board.
not one single solitary person has ever had an issue.

The other groups were NOT ad free.

several people have complained about this problem and ALL are using vista and IE plus the ADS.

so you have three common denominators here that have factored into the issue that MY group of people are having.

VISTA
IE
ADS

so going BACK to the drawing board has still shown me that vista is part of the problem.

one more thing..........NONE of these people including myself have ever had this proboard in our favorites. I came here looking for a solution to this problem just yesterday.

photobucket has these same ad campaigns and they ended up with a really nice virus from it.
the one that pops up and tells you that your computer has been infected and you need to download the fix? your present antivirus cant get rid of it? the only sullution is to down load this fix?
have you heard of it? its a nasty little critter.
a friend and neighbor of mine fell for it. $600 later and the problem was fixed.

The member on my board who is having this same problem doesn't use Vista. She has XP. She does use IE, so I'm thinking there is something going on with the settings folks are using on their IE browser.

Craig, you once answered this for me when I had asked about it. You told me to take out the /index.cgi from the URL and type the URL direct. So instead of graphickingdom.proboards92.com/index.cgi you would put graphickingdom.proboards92.com only. That seemed to solve the problem. Many of the proboard boards were saved in my favorites having that suffix attatched. But once removed there have been no problems.

I use IE, Windows XP and the URL's have been in my favorites the same way for over 2 years and just recently it has become a problem. But without the suffix at the end, everything has been working fine for me.
