Sometimes when I enter the enterity of the link to the general forums instead of going through the NS entrance to the forums, or using bookmarks (I hate using bookmarks or favorites.), I get sent to the website of Fucked Company. I won't post the link, as I'm pretty sure that's a violation of the rules. Anyways, it's a website advertising oil as the new energy source for the millenium. I just wanted to know if whenever you jump directly to the general forums not using bookmarks, if this happens to you? (Yes I realize there are many grammar errors, but I just got drugged up.)

Yes, it says petroleum lubricant is the fuel for the New Economy and...yeah.:p

I haven't had that problem...what exactly are you putting in for the URL?
Is it:

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1227

That's the full URL for the main page of the General forum, and I typed it in directly and it worked.

Yeah... I put in exactly that, but one out of ten times it sends me to Fucked Company's website.

Check to see if you have spyware or a virus.

My computer's as clean as a plate after it has gone through the dishwasher with ten pounds of Jet-Dry mixed it.

Obviously it isn't, there isn't anything on the forum thats causing it.

I seem to remember a virus called badtrans doing this.

It may very well be a virus or trojan backdoor.
