Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that one of your ad clients seems to be redirecting your site to theirs.  I managed to catch the URL (seen it twice), but I don't know what the offending ad is.  Maybe this is some sort of interstitial you guys agreed to, but I'm doubting it.

The URL is: http://72.51.37.167/943318a/h.html

I'm having these ads attack me too x_x. Visited the daily puzzle page and BAM, I'm redirected to a perfume ad. I hate perfume >.>

Thank you! We can get rid of this if you help me track it down. Please paste the URLs (addresses) of the redirect sites. Thank you!!

Sorry about that! Again, I just need the URL of the page you were redirected to!

I just saw one again.  They try and make it look like an interstitial.

Uh...I use firefox.  I have used firefox for about 4 years now.  What does Firefox have to do with an ad redirecting a page with Javascript?  I know I can turn off Javascript, but I'm a web developer and that doesn't really make sense.
