Clicking Links In Comp Section & Get MSE MobileValuer?

Luckyone

Hello There,

This has happened to me three times now when I click a link in the comping section I get this website:

http://mobilevaluer.com/

And not the link that should be there.

I am guessing this website belongs to MSE?

Don't suppose you can check why this is happening?

Thanks

You say you are clicking a link in the comping section, which link or which comp? and is the link meant to take you somewhere else? (such as the page the comp is on)

Luckyone

Thanks for your reply,

It was just three random competition links posted by a regular comp poster. I didn't think to remember which ones they were.

It has not happened since this morning apart from being annoying I want to make sure the site is MSE owned & something to do with this website rather than a virus on my computer

If you go right to the bottom of any page on the forum you will see on the right hand side of the page, the actual link to mobilevaluer.

All I can think of is that somehow the link has crossed over when the member has been posting their thread, it could just be a glitch connected with the forum upgrade.

Thanks,

I'm pleased it's not my computer lol

It's just happened when I clicked this link:

All of them have been by the same person posting, which could mean there's a problem with the posters account?

I just clicked that link and got the correct page and the link in the page was OK.

Are you using the old forum or the new one?

Are they using old or new?

It is looking like the fault is at your end, are you using a tablet, laptop or PC (or something else)?

Luckyone

Yes once I've clicked the link & got the mobile thing, I then click the link again & it goes to the right page.

I'm using the now forum not old version or new.

I'm using a laptop which I use every day on here with no other problems.

I don't know what version they are using

It's not happened so far today

I just wondered if you might be using a touch screen type thingy, they sometimes default to a preset cursor position.

You have me beat, here's hoping someone else might come up with an answer, I have used all my best guesses

Hi Luckyone,

Sorry to hear the your Competitions Time links are going to mobile valuer. Mobile valuer is a great tool. But you probably don't want to go there all the time . Can you tell us which particular link it was which was sending you to mobile valuer? It might also be useful for us to know which version of which browser you are using these days. So we can try to replicate your problem.

Thanks Both,

The last link was the one posted above, I did not take note of the other three didn't think sorry.

I'm in Chrome.

It's not happened since that last one. It seemed strange it was only on a few posts posted by Lak's, not on all of her posts or on anyone elses.

Hi Luckyone,

Unfortunately I'm unable to locate the exact post. But clicking the link in your post seems to work okay in Crhome and Firefox. I wonder whether the link was one of those where what's displayed on the screen doesn't match where the link goes. Like this one:

www.google.com

In any event. if it happens again please let me know and point me at a specific thread or post where it's happening. Thank you

Ian
