Link to Paypal, what's going on?!?!
Right, this has happened to me in the past fortnight, when clicking on one of the sub headings in the main forum index it takes me automatically to the paypal login screen. This has happened on at least five occasions and happens with different links on the forum. Today it happened twice; clicking on the General Chat and Cooling parts of the forum.
Is this the forum or me/my computer?
thanks

It could be FRAUD. I would guess that you have acquired a TROJAN infection that is redirecting your browser to a CLONED paypal site with the intention of requesting you to log in, etc. After that you could be wide open to someone using your account if you have one. Best check it out and also run some anti trojan software.chodjinn wrote:Right, this has happened to me in the past fortnight, when clicking on one of the sub headings in the main forum index it takes me automatically to the paypal login screen.

Never had it, can't really see how it could happen either. Are you using a mainstream browser? Outside small slim tiny chance it could be browser-related.
Paypal code is v.small so it shouldn't slow anything, there's nothing special about it at all. One img is pulled in over HTTPS which is 50% slower than HTTP but it's only the lil' button.
The PP code is very basic indeed so can't see how it could interfere with links etc.
Some ISPs can get in a twist over sessions & session cookies, but the usual result is asking you to log on all the time - not duff links etc
