Redirecting Issues?

If you try to visit the site directly at Dreams in Vanadiel - Final Fantasy XI, you will be greeted with the following:



Is this intentional, broken script, or a malicious attempt at hijacking the site gone wrong?

It's something on your end. Works fine for me.

Works okay for me, too... Using Chrome.

Definitely something wrong on your end, maybe some malware. That link redirects just fine to this forum.

Re: Redirecting Issues?

It's a virus in the form of a cookie.

Yea that eyeblaster thing is on your end Aeni, I think.

Oh, that's bad, since this is my work PC. I guess I have to make that call to IT >.>

(Note: I tried this at home and have no problems, so yes, it's just my work PC)

Tell them to stop making you use IE while you're at it.

Can't. It's a choice that they made with the suite of vendors and applications that they hired.

You should always have access to multiple browsers unless there's legitimate security reasons not to. Anything else is just inexcusably bad management.

Re: Redirecting Issues?

On that regard I'm solely responsible for our call center department having adopted Chrome as their default browser.

Go me!

I did my bit...

last place i was at we could only use IE because our EMR would only cooperate with it. (Don't know enough IT to know specifics) Also, we were consistently 2 releases behind on that front, too. IE 9 came out, we were still on IE 7 because that was what GE was currently compatible with.

That's actually not true, because the pieces that go into the system must be able to play nicely, and FF does NOT work very well with many enterprise software (contrary to popular belief) If you have to keep shoveling additional pieces of software into the system and ignore possible security holes being generated from that, then you're not a very good IT manager... it all depends on the situation, the kind of work you deal with and how little (or how much value) you place on things like a second web browser.
