i keep getting sent to twitter?

[Afro1599968737]

whatever the @name plugin is seems to have f*cked up

 

i keep getting sent to adam crout (undefined) on twitter without doing, pressing or clicking on anything

[lunaloco]

can you describe how you get sent there?

[Afro1599968737]

as soon as kitecrowd loaded up, the status bar on my browser keeps showing

 

connecting / connected to api.twitter.com

@what @is @wrong @with @the @new @twitter @plugin @?

Surely that's just a background process going on, as the twitter API in the forum code connects to the actual twitter service?

 

Or do you actually get redirected to a twitter page?

[Afro1599968737]

several times i've actually been redirected to the "undefined" twitter page

 

seems to have settled down now i'm on a diff computer

if you don't click anything with an '@' in front of if, you shouldn't get redirected to twitter though ...

[Afro1599968737]

you would have thought!

if that was the case, i wouldnt have posted up about it

 

twice it happened when i opened a kitecrowd link (eg bar-zone) in a new tab, and then finished reading a post... by the time i switched to the new tab it was in twitter

other times, just in the open window.

 

i think rasga was online at the time, so he might have been messing around with the settings?

i guess we'll see if it happens again or if anyone else gets it.

i have come across this with a torrent website. i was getting re directed every time i tried to access it.

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc was route to the file. i really dont know if that helps maybe not.

 

try just clearing cookies as well. may well work

So you say Afro might have visited some naughty websites ?

[Afro1599968737]

hah

 

i dont use twitter, dont know any adam croot, and it was on a computer that was in a very public place, so no pr0n or torrents or owt.

 

the fact that the twitter page was called "undefined" made me assume it was a screwup somewhere on the KC side of things, but i dont know enough about the software to pinpoint it.

[lunaloco]

I will point Neil to this thread, since he implemented the Twitter app.

Afro: what OS/browser?

[rasga]

Absolutely no change occurred today.

 

Last night we deployed 4 lines of code, which will cause a lookup to Twitter. But there is no implicit redirect set unless an item is clicked

 

If you can let us know more about the broswer/os that might help.

 

Plus it must only occur randomly if you are able to post now and again.

[Bertie]

afro, maybe its kitecrowd secretly telling you to fcuk off?

[Afro1599968737]

kitecrowd wouldnt be that subtle

 

besides i wasnt logged in the first time it happened.

not my computer, but it was windows of some sort (not vista) and either firefox or IE, will check properly next week.

someone probably downloaded a virus or trojan of some sort onto it because you said it was a public computer right? People who open their mail on that sort of computers can open an infected file or something like that . Dunno .. I'm just guessing.

I'm getting sent to Bar Zone - Kitecrowd Kite Forum when I visit twitter.com from my Ubuntu system. Only happens once, second try ends up at twitter as expected. Dodgy cookie?

[rasga]

Rather odd Birdman.

 

Sounds cookie related. That said last night any facebook page I went to redirected to some other page, the internet can be odd.

Stay away from naughty websites lads! Don't blame it on the internet.

[Afro1599968737]

just happened again, relentlessly, while not logged in

 

not the same computer, but same operating systems as the first time, (managed by the same group)

 

windows XP

professional

2002

service pack 3

 

firefox 2

 

doesnt happen with IE

 

logging in stops it, but i can see from the progress bar at the bottom that it still wants to
