OT: Is Cards Talk an Insecure site?

[Ordinary Man]

What is the nature of the messages?
Can you provide text or screen shots?

It this time I am not seeing similar messages.

Waiting for it to do it again, now, but I've been getting re-directs to a DDOS prevention page with an "I am not a robot" box to click.

That's what I've been getting. But I use both Firefox and Edge (when I want to comment/read comments on the PD news articles as I can't on FF) and I'm not sure which of the browsers it's happening on.

Replying to my own post. I just got it again and it's on Edge. (I'm pretty sure I don't have any extensions or add-ons as I use it very little.)
I don't know how to make and send a screenshot but I did copy the web address. I'll try to send that.

None that I know of.

Trying to rule out rogue ads from the advertising networks, that's not looking good at this point.

If you can use an ad blocker we do allow you to do so on the forums.

I'm on Chrome and McAfee. I had 2-3 warnings over the weekend.

Been getting warnings for about a week saying can't connect to the server. But if I reload page it works. using firefox and also had the question about if I was a robot but I didn't click to confirm anything. Only happens on this site.

The forums doesn't check to see if you're a bot, it just labels you a bot if you are coming from an IP address we've identified as a bot range.
Which means if you're seeing a question about being a bot... it's not coming from the forums.

If you're talking about the main website... that isn't something we need to discuss here, contact me via PM to follow up.

i am getting a very quick pop up that says "tracking"

disappears quickly

hmm. do you best to capture what you’re seeing. Need details, since I can’t look over your shoulder nor read your mind.

I occasionally used to get redirected to spam sites when i was on my old browser. I now you ad blocker internet browser and havent had it happen with this one.
