Any idea how this happened?

I was clicking on another member to send a private message. Three different times I was redirected to three different full screen ads/websites. Two of them were health related, one I already belonged to. This is really frustrating. Anything else happening like that here on MyLot this morning?

I messaged you and it did ok. I am not sure what happened with yours.

Maybe it is something with some of the stuff I have joined, or it might be something with the user I was trying to send a message to. It worked okay on the fourth try. Thanks.

This is my first attempt at getting on mylot today, and so far so good, but I will definitely watch out for this problem. It sounds like a glitch to me. All kinds of websites seem to be glitching out for me this morning. Is there ever a day when the whole entire internet works without glitches?

You are right, with the amount of traffic it is a wonder more things do not go wrong. I do not send that many messages, but I also wonder if this member has something set on their profile to do this.

Hasn't happened to me, but I hope it is fixed by now. Sometimes procrastination pays. :-)

So why haven't you been here goofing around with the rest of us? I am glad you have not had any trouble though.

This hasn't happened to me but I am having trouble on my gmail account, it is giving me a security warning anytime I go for the email to the Internet. It is also not showing anything but print, no picture or images. I have taken a look at my settings and find no help there.

Maybe someone will come along and have an answer for you as well. I have not tried gmail. That sounds very strange.

This is the first time today that I have been on mylot, and I am answering this thru my email. This is a new kind of gitch that I hadn't heard about yet. This one would be good to tell Alice about, I hope it gets fixed soon.

It hasn't happened to me lately but the I haven't been here very much over the past year. However it has happened on a couple of occasions that when I tried to open a link to myLot I got some weird website. It is so long ago now that I can't remember the name of the site.

It was three different websites for three different tries. I have missed seeing you around. I know you moved and were very busy.

I will consider myself forewarned and go do something else for a while. I can always come back and mYlot later. See, I made myLot into a verb. Chortle.

Lots of things we can do with MyLot, even practice our parts of speech. It seems to be doing pretty well now.

I do not think this was the problem. It was not anything associated with the user.

No not that I've noticed. I had some troubles yesterday of about the same category tho. I'm just back on line cuz of working on IRs ------drears-----but let's hope I dont run into that. That is pop ups and should be classified as illegal by whoever bought them tho. Still, I'd report it to the admin. I will if it happens to me. later, quita88

Except for that one time, I have had no problems. I am supposed to have pop up blocker. I hope your day gets better.

I am trying to load a Video up to youtube and it will take for ever that is a problem as I am writing to you right now the page is sticking again and the writing sticks too. Hope it clears up.

Last month I had my son put a lot of new RAM on my computer. It has improved soooo much. Could this be a problem for you?

And maybe I was getting too close to some kind of hidden trigger. I just felt a bit cranky about it today.
