I'm not sure if someone knows about this but...i usually use google to get into Slayalive but for some reason, it keeps sending me to the most random websites and it's just for the Slayalive link. So i don't know if it's just happening to me or it's everyone?

I use the proboards link, and just checked it on Google. It works just fine. The "forum.slayalive.com" link has been acting screwy for me for the past few months. It just doesn't seem to load. So, as far as I know, I haven't had the same problems as you, PJ.

The forum.slayalive.com link was easier to remember, but like Xi, has not been working for me for some time. I never bothered to remember the proboards url.

I've always just used "slayaliveforums.proboards.com". It's the easiest for me to remember and when I've got it in my history, I just type "sl" and my browser predicts the rest.

Or... you could always add it to your bookmark tab.

Like others here, I find that the "forum.slayalive.com" link works only very sporadically (for some reason, it works much more often from work than from home), so I use the slayaliveforums.proboards.com link. If you're getting sent to unexpected sites when doing Google searches, you may have malware on your computer that hijacks your browser and sends it to sites the hacker gets paid to deliver hits for. If this starts happening with other searches, you should do a malware scan with a program such as Spybot Search & Destroy.

Yep fine for me too. I recommend Malware Bytes, which is free, and got rid of a Trojan I had the other day. I know you were talking about viruses on your laptop, are your scans coming up clean now?

Yahoo! isn't the best. Seems like it's slow due to the DNS pointing to the Proboards server. Lemme see if I can remedy this.
Once we get the new site and forum software this will be non-existant!!

Well, i think it might of just been me now that i think about it. I had a problem with a virus the other day and it might still be on my laptop so that might have been what was wrong.
