Admin:this site is being spammed

[MandiesMom]

You might try PM'ng Admin and pointing him to this thread. I'm sure he is not able to see all of the threads. He could have one of his tech people look into it and help find an answer (whether it is on YT end or your browser end..the tech guy can help). I was recently having trouble with the new server and my IP address. They were able to get that fixed for me.

[admin]

Thank you for alerting us. We will check with our admins and try and resolve any problems as soon as possible.

i see what you mean.. man,, i think you are getting a sample of what all my teachers went through lol.. they really wanted to strangle my ass. ok, i will look when i get home if a check means off or on.. thank you...

nope, not blocked.. still here it just opens a bunch of windows, then i have to close the window and re open and search again for this site. and it goes to it. i think it does it once a day. almost like it is reading the isp to see who it got and it won't do it all the time to the same person. i don't know how this stuff works...i think someone is hi jacking the site and redirecting members to the pages, cause when i shut all the windows. yorkie talk did n't even open, it is not even there.

please get your host company or web tech to check out your links to see if someone didn't hijack your site.

^^^ Yes, this. Whenever trying to get a hold of Admin, it doesn't work very well to post a random thread somewhere. Either PM directly, or, post in this section where I moved this thread (Site Suggestions).

I also use a Mac and was wondering if you are using Google Chrome as your search engine? I was and had problems with pop ups that were totally unacceptable and I know I never visited sites like that. Additionally I am the only person who uses my computer.

I ended up switching to Safari, which came with the computer. I didn't want to use it originally cause I thought it was too complicated. Turned out I needed Safari after all.

Maybe Chrome is really your problem??

She uses Safari, but it sounds like she's not sure if the popup blocker should be checked on or off. She had it checked "off" and thought that meant it was on. I think it's the other way around. Google Chrome also has a pop up blocker, but sometimes you have to turn it on. Read post 27.

ok,i looked and pop up windows is turned on. there are two places for it, under safari, a check mark appears or you can click on it and take the check marl off. it does not tell you if a check mark means on or off.. so

i went into the preferences and and went into security and block pop up windows is checked also. yet does not specifically say if checked means on or off, so i pressed the info button: here is what i got

"Block pop-up windows
To block ads displayed in pop-up windows, select this checkbox. However, some websites make legitimate use of pop-up windows. To quickly enable pop-up windows, open the Safari menu on Mac, or the Action menu on Windows, and then remove the checkmark next to Block Pop-Up Windows."

so it is on in both places.

Everything is fine here. I am on a iPad and use safari

No, I'm not having any problems like that. It sound like you might have a Trojan virus in your computer. Here is a free download that if you do a quick scan you will run once a week. if you don't use it open the free verion will up date itself when you open the program. It will keep malware out of your computer if it finds any. Malwarebytes

Another good one to download into you computer that is free is called CC Cleaner. You should clean your cookies everyday to keep your computer running good. http://www.downloadinfo.co/review/cc...n=DICCUS&fwd=1
