Is a fix still being worked on for the bug or is it fixed

[Dan Barlow]

I still can't get past the first page of any thread without it sending me off to a virus guard generally . I'm really missing you guys but it seems we are at least on week three and I'm feeling like I'm slipping away because it is very frustrating to keep having this bug or whatever trying to take control of my internet .

And a ad blocker isn't helping me .

I have not had any redirects yet this morning, but I have not heard from Chad that they found it yet either.

Same here, Big button on my screen

It keeps trying to make me reload Flash Player but if I try to do that my security software says it's not a safe site. Every time I try to move the cursor with the mouse it does that. Firefox says it's preventing the site from opening a pop-up window and that's shown as a yellow banner across the top of the screen. Also, it's mostly a problem in "General" and much less of a hassle in other topics. I don't know enough to know what I don't know.

I still get Firefox Update, Flash Player Update, wobbly breasts on the first click anywhere on the screen. Second click on the same function is OK after I clear the crap.

And no bridge in sight

It's not trying to 'take control of your internet', it's a redirect exploit that's sending you to another site.

Are you using a phone or a PC to access the site?

The best way to view the site in lieu of this bug is on a PC with Firefox and an ad blocker like Ad Block plus or Ghostery.

I run Linux PC's and never deal with exploit issues. Whinedows PC's (when properly configured) will also ignore the exploit(s).

Like I said, I don't know how much I don't know. I'm on a MAC Mini running thru Firefox but I don't think I have an ad blocker. Guess I need to look into that.

I konw next to nothing about computer.
But google "adblock mini mac" from you mini mac, and you will find an adblock tool. (likely "Adblocker +" )

I am still getting pop ups / redirect on my Google pixel using chrome.

It reduces the fun for sure.

I did have fun at lunch with Dan today!

[Beagle]

Something happened between yesterday and today.... site was dead slow yesterday and it's zippy today. I haven't seen the redirect issue but wondering if you guys are working okay now?

Yesterday I was getting redirects on my phone but not my laptop. On my phone right now and no issue yet.
