Hey guys,

I believe I figured out how they are getting past the framebuster by looking at my Chrome browser history. They just keep hammering the browser with continual redirect requests until one goes through.

This site is effectively unusable now. It took me nine attempts just to get to this thread and post this.
Another new problem that only seems to happen on Corvetteforum.com, my autocorrect/autocomplete now malfunctions about 50% of the time. I enter a word, and hit the space bar, and instead of entering a space it puts in the first letter of the word I just typed. Or, I'll start typing half the word and hit the autocomplete thing, and instead of autocompleting, it just repeats the first half of the word I've already typed. Either that or it will autocorrect it to the previous word and delete the current word.
20 year IT professional here, so no, I'm not crazy.

Has anybody noticed this issue has 'gone away'?
Knock on wood I hope it's fixed for good!

I don't think it ever will. It's like Herpes. Sure, you can dose yourself and make it go away quicker but it will always be back. It has calmed down quite substantially. Got only 1 redirect 2 days ago. I am using an android S8 and the keyboard is Swiftkey and has been removed and Swiftkey beta is there and the wrong spellings is gone.
