    Is likely one of the adverts with something embedded to take you to another site. I have not had this happen to me yet.

    Yup, I get it too on Win7+chrome
    On my tablet, with chrome, it doesn't happen... Try updating your browser.

    I've had this happen recently on links to another board.

    most likely a nefarious ad.

    I've been putting off the Yosemite update on my laptop. That's now been accomplished -- and quite a few other updates -- and nada for another capture like I'd had. Still hope it is rooted out.

    I've checked the server and no signs of anything bad there. Sometimes AdSense sneaks an ad in there that will do that, but it's not supposed to. I'm going to double check my settings there and tell them it happened. If you can get a screen shot and email it to me, even better! Thanks for letting me know.

    I don't have a screenshot for you, but it happens before I log in. Once I log in, it stops sending me to the weird update thing.

    Yes, when I was getting it, it was when going to this site and then having it captured by that other website.

    Yup...It seemed to do it MORE when I'd open VMB as a "New Tab". If I just type in the url and went to it that way, it seemed OK...
    I'll try and get a SS Sonya.
