I think I got a couple of those redirects that TofuProductions described. One last night and another just now, both on a Windows laptop using Google Chrome. Here are screenshots of both.

 

Awesome got it

 

Thanks for the screenshots, Julie. I've passed them along to our ad team to help pinpoint the source.

 

Current iOS on an iPad. Sorry for not including that earlier.
Has not happened at all this week.

 

Not a problem, thanks for those details. If you see the pop-up in the future, please let me know.

 

I haven't been on this site much lately and i see much has changed . Forgive my ignorance but where are my stars ????? Never mind lol i see them now !

 

I inserted a link in a message and when I post the message the link does not appear. However, if I edit the post, the link is there. WTF, over!

Your stars should now be visible, directly under your name.

The forum automatically embeds certain kinds of content, such as YouTube videos, Facebook posts, and tweets. Right now, we're experiencing a small issue in which the software is trying to embed anything that links to Facebook, instead of just videos, photos, and statuses. As such, if you're linking to a page or event on Facebook, it's currently embedding by mistake. We're working on a fix for this issue, but in the meantime you can tell our forum software to not embed your link's content by un-checking the "Automatically embed media" option on the post editor page (the second check box under the "Submit Reply" button).

 

My stars went away again. Is that coming back?

 

Sorry about that, I think it was an unintended side effect of your Sponsor tag. They're back now.
