Is anyone else getting those re-direction (not pop-up!!!!) things here? When you click on a post, SOMETIMES a different page comes up -- an ad --  that also says you'll be redirected to your destination in 8 seconds, and that "our sponsors" are what make things keep going, etc..???? Or am I getting that because somehow Vox knows that I haven't clicked on any sponsors lately?

This has happened to me 4 times, now, in one and a half days.....on my posts and those of other people, in Firefox and Safari.

I don't mind it, but I just invited an old friend to join Vox -- someone who's a little SKITTISH about the Internet following a nasty site-hijacking experience (she ended up with a load of porn on her work computer) -- this'll make her scream and run if it happens to her.

And, honestly, Vox -- I DO check out the ads! I go there on my own; I don't click from here!  Last time I did that I ended up with all kinds of clutter and nonsense, so now I get the URL and go there later. No credit for that, I suppose. Guess I'll have to start clicking and hoping again.

Anybody else getting these?

Yesterday I made this cake -- it's deeeelish. I'm eating a slice right now, with my coffee, for breakfast.

Of course, there's always a HEAP of stuff to be washed. The "dishwasher" -- ? C'est moi.

My LoveCrush ads are gone. YAY!!!!!!! Now the ads are for Microsoft. They don't have a crush on me.......*sigh*

It keeps blasting through my Vox Upload window, etc., and annoying the heck out of me, so I finally clicked on it. That took me to a Cupid-y looking page so I tried to get away and it kept after me, telling me someone has a crush on me. TWICE, with  window-lettes, warning me not to navigate away from the page, and giving me the option to cancel the move.

?????????????  This must be the new era of advertising: cyber-hostage-taking. I'm suspicious and skeptical and I'm NOT going to click on it again, so if there's REALLY someone out there who has a crush on me (heh),  I'll never know. Sorry.  :) AND :(
  

You know how we can have links to other sites and there's a preview in our post? I have that feature activated on my Account (yep, I just checked) and I've used it as recently as yesterday, but it isn't working today.  For several linked-to sites, new and old.

Here's a test: eBay.
