Redirected to "Google" Site When Browsing EnWorld.

@TerraDave could you please remove the http part of that url?

I broke the link for you.

For what it's worth, if you want to post the entirety of a URL but don't want it to automatically turn itself into a hyperlink, use the following tag:

<code> </code>

...except change the <> to [ ].

That's how you make it so things like

https://www.google.com

aren't links that people can click on.

That is more work than just deleting the "https:"

I said "for what it's worth," and it seems that at least one person finds it worthwhile. If you don't, then...okay.

Starting last week, I am periodically redirected to the website listed below when I am here at EnWorld. This does not happen when I'm browsing other websites, and I've checked to make sure my system was up-to-date and free of viruses and malware. It occurs to me that I should have gotten a shot of the web address I'm being sent to, and I'll try to get one next time this happens. I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

I got an instance of it happening today and, after mentioning it in the other related thread, I'm posting the broken URL here in case it helps.
