Gaybutton Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 There is a problem on my board. Some can't access the posts. What's going on is there is some damned web site trying to hijack my board and redirect to their own web site - some ridiculous web site where they are trying to sell, of all things, Viagra.The problem is on the server side. I've alerted them. Your guess is as good as mine as to how long it will take for them to get rid of it.In the meantime, there is a way to handle it. If you're using the Firefox browser or another browser that accepts the Adblock Pro add-on, install it. It's free. Once you install it, the topic still may not open. If that happens, look at the bottom left of your screen. You will see the URL trying to hijack my board. If you copy that URL and put it into the Adblock Pro filter, that stops it - most of the time.Another solution that worked for me was to close off the board, start it again, go directly to the forum you want, and instead of clicking on 'view unread posts' or 'view new posts', click on the topic itself and then go to the last page. That worked for me.Not that I can do anything about it if neither of those work, but let me know.It's always something! TotallyOz and ChristianPFC 2 Quote
ct2005 Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 I tried your solution i.e. install Adblock Plus in firefox. Added the following to filter rule:- 1. http://redirect.ero-advertising.com 2. http://cdn.nezlobudnya.com 3. https://bongacams.com but it still doesn't block the sites. Dunno if I have set the filter correctly. Quote
Gaybutton Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Thank you ct2005. I have no way of knowing if people are still encountering the problem unless they tell me. I do think you set the filter incorrectly. I won't work unless you enter the entire URL. Unfortunately, if there are several URLs, you have to enter each one individually. I realize that's tedious, but until the problem is fixed there is no other way that seems to work. For me, this is what's known as a 'pain-in-the-ass.' It's bad enough I have to deal with dozens of phony bot registration attempts every day. Now this too. If anyone happens to know other solution possibilities, I'd be grateful if you let me know.

NIrishGuy Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Change / use a different browser perhaps, I'm using Safari ( on a Mac) and your site is coming up fine here. Quote
Guest Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Firefox on Windows 7 -Does not work, even with Adblock. The don't just redirect the to the ED drug site, but also a selection of other dubious sites. Chrome on Windows 7 -Does not work. Safari on Windows 7 -redirects straight to porn site. Firefox on Android -Does not work Chrome on Android -Works, although I think it did send me to the ED drug site in the end. Quote

steveboy Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Before I pay any attention to the problems with Gaybutton's forum, I would like to know why should I be interested in seeing Gaybutton's forum. Quote
steveboy Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Who said you had to care ? Is not a matter of care but curiosity. If a guy starts a thread just to announce a problem with his forum one would assume that he thinks his forum has something important to offer. So is there something? Do you know? Quote

So is there something? Do you know? You are wrong in your assumption. He starts thread because he knows: GT-forum is visiting by members of his forum. Membership lists of all 3 forums are about 30-40% the same (expats who is living or often visiting Thailand). I placed my warning here by the same reason. Huge thanks to owner of GT-forum for allowing such activity! vinapu 1 Quote
Gaybutton Posted April 21, 2016 Author Posted April 21, 2016 You are wrong in your assumption. No need to bother wasting time explaining anything to steveboy. He's just another troll who gets his jollies by trying to insult and put-down both me and my board at every opportunity - probably someone I booted off my board for just such behavior and then changes his screen name and runs to other boards to cry about it. Three guesses how much I care about what people like that want to post. biguyby 1 Quote

Three guesses how much I care about what people like that want to post. LOL! You confirm so well my first impression of you. This happened a while ago, in a discussion about criticizing pictures of hunks. Then you blasted that you don't care about this, don't care about that. Now your post has another "I don't care". You must be... careless! And you are so quick to feel "insulted and put down"... not only you, but your board... How can I put down your board if I have never looked at it? This was my curiosity: is there something worth looking at there? If there is, and the interesting part has more weight than the negatives of your sour character, then I would give it a look. But I'm not sure. Quote
Gaybutton Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 There you have it, folks. Fed the troll and that's the best he can come up with. I rest my case. Quote

Before you rest your "case", please don't blame any folks here. Instead blame your attitude of a bully who does not scare anyone. If you want a piece of free advice, your avatar does not do anything good for you. Instead of the image of a nice boy, or something likewise attractive, you have some kind of ugly monkey or who-knows-what creature. The funny thing is that this image... fits you! This is not something positive. Who is afraid by a rubber monster? Quote
