Author Topic: Lead Adventure site suddenly goes blank in favour of "This site uses cookies?" (Read 6190 times)

Hello LAF,

has anyone else browsed the forum recently and suddenly got redirected to a blank domain that claimed the Forum needs cookies to funtion or some such? I even had it just now when trying to post a reply to a discussion in the ancients board?

Just wondering. I've run the Security Task Manager and also did a system check, so I do feel confident in doubting that it is a virus on my end. Maybe an odd glitch or some such?

Looking forward to hearing what others might make of this!

Happening to me too.

And the site is running much slower than usual.

I haven't run into this.

Although around here, I would hope for biscuits please.

Yes-ish - I click on a subject board and get redirected to something that looks like the domain name is available for sale/unclaimed. If I go to a different board then it's usually fine!?

Yup! Much like Ray has said. It is rather weird. Usually going back eventually solves the issue.

I actually clicked on the cookie thing and got redirected to some weird place with a very similar name as the forum.

Now worrying that the site may have been hacked.

No, so far that hasn't happened to me.

I got this once yesterday - next link worked fine, and has been fine today

Yes, it's directed me to a vacant domain twice today and on two different PCs (at home and at work). It was also very slow a few hours ago.

Yeah it is weird to say the least. But I am glad I am not the only one and that it's now being looked at.

I haven’t had the cookie thing, but it has definitely been running slow today

Here's what I meant by the 'vacant domain' page

Jemima Fawr · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2023, 11:51:19 PM »

Yeah, that's what I got.
