• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Redirect upon internal clicks (?)

While in the BOI, or another section, when I click a section to refresh it, about half the time I'm sent to another website.

It's been happening a bit lately, but a lot tonight.

Any advice/input? Please see attached screencap.

Banner ads? I haven't changed my configuration at all. Course, doesn't happen from the phone...just the outdated lappy. It never used to happen, though, and I've not seen it on other sites.
 
When was the last time you used that laptop to access this site?
 
I was wondering if this was some flak leftover from the problem we had back in October, but apparently not.

I guess all that we can do is wait and see if this is an issue others are experiencing before I investigate it further.
 
I haven't gotten any redirects, not using adblocker. Use IE and Chrome.
But I didn't get redirects last time either. Maybe some of the ones that did have issues last time can check in and advise?
 
Well, I've had two different outfits harden the security on this new server, so hopefully some other exploit hasn't gotten hacked into.
