I've been redirected multiple times in the past few days.

Each time, it is to a site that has a referral ID.

Maybe we can post the sites and referral IDs and get them banned?

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I have also been redirected many many times. On 3 diffrent computers using Firefox and IE. I even get it on my ipod touch.

My 2nd computer has no anti-virus stuff on it and its now got something on it perminitly. I keep getting pop-ups on it. Ill restore it though so np but i cant use that comp to come to this site atm.

Its getting so bad i have had to come here less and less and it pisses me off cause i love this site so much. I hope it gets worked out soon...

Also I've been getting this weird problem where I'm unable to navigate. Let's say I'm browsing through the forums or profiles. Suddenly, I get stuck there. I click on a link/favorite or type something in the web address, but it doesn't want to go. The window is put to a complete halt, and I have to open up a new one in order to browse through VGChartz again. It's only happening on this website.

That happened to me too. Then I switched to Chrome like dsister suggested and it's working fine for me now. Weird. What's weird was one time I did get a strange redirect that landed me at Google as well...

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting this. It only happens once or twice a day, but it's annoying.

Similar problem here. Has been like this for many weeks now. After 10-15 minutes on VGC everything stops loading and I have to close all my open pages and restart the browser for VGC to load again.
