Crap, though we took care of this.

let me see what I can find.

This is still happening for me.

Sorry to bump this, but it's still happening. Now they added a pop-up and survey pop-in.

I did a quick search and found out this is either an old YUI exploit or another exploit in a 3rd party plug-in someone is taking advantage of.

It's only a minor nuisance to members because it only forwards one visitor per 24 hours, but you might be losing a lot of search engine traffic from people who don't know about the glitch.

Another thing to keep in mind, whoever is taking advantage of this exploit can potentially bring down the entire server if he or she wishes.

Even when searching from yahoo.com it sends you the same link.

I never use Yahoo, but you're right, looks like from any search engine.

Site gets a lot of traffic, likely from redirecting traffic across a bunch of sites from a plug-in he created.

Pretty smart exploit. Most of the people he's targeting probably aren't even aware they're being hit with it. The people who do probably won't bother to fix such a small nuisance.

Meanwhile he's getting 100s of thousands of unique visitors a month.
