For several days now my browser has been blocking pop ups on this site. Today, when I clicked on a photo about slab sides, the main page was taken to a bondage site! DEFINITELY not my thing. Mods, you might want to get tech on this.

No photo's are hosted on this site. If you clicked on a picture with porn attached it's that hosts server thats infected.

Let us know which thread or picture you are clicking on so the thread can be deleted.

It appears this problem is with the PostImage site. If you click on one of the photos to look at a larger image the porn stuff appears when you try to close looking at the large image. I will no longer be using PostImage for my photos. I have had this porn stuff pop up several times on several different cars.

While looking at the TIPS article "Converting to slab side" thread, I clicked on a photo from the old article that had been found. As usual the photo opened in a new page. It did NOT change to porn when I tried to click out, THIS site did while I was looking at the photo. Hence my report of all the blocked popups here.

Doesn't change the fact it happened to me. I'm not an alarmist, just trying to keep you informed. There IS a virus causing popups on this site.

Okay, I was able to replicate Adam's issue and got a porn pop-up.

It's definitely malware attached to one of the ads on the picture hosting website. It didn't do anything until i thought to shut my ad blocker off and retry.

Then it hit me right in the face. Brought up a dialog box and had me locked up unless i did something with it. I had to ctr-alt-delete and shut off firefox through the task manager to get rid of it.

Then it tried to stay in my memory and reload itself when i re-started firefox. It's definitely a nasty little bastard.

I suggest anyone using that hosting site cease and move your photos asap.

Funny, although the pop up blocker never came up on postimage it was coming up HERE every time I came to the page. It did not come up this morning. Am I to understand the problem has been ferreted out?

It's an infected ad thats probably in a rotation on the image site.

The richard petty autographed car pictures on another thread have it too.

Well, I informed postimage (for all the good it will do!) of the issue. Told them to expect a mass exodus if it isn't corrected. My main concern is losing this site... AGAIN! Don't let it happen guys.

Believe it or not, they responded, apologized for taking so long and assured me the issue is fixed. Smile
