Thank you for the "You are leaving myLot" warning screen, very helpful at preventing rogue ad code from stealing you off elsewhere on the internet... Now just take Carambola ads off again, it really makes interacting very very slow, tedious and frustrating as links bounce up and down the screen on chrome on android on a mobile, @MyLotBugs.

I saw another member run into a re-routing. I have not gotten this. I hope myLot Bugs will be able to fix this soon.

I have not even seen this warning message so far, which means either I have not been hijacked or maybe I am in my usual stupid haze.

@pgntwo Most likely not because I spent much of the day over in Gibraltar.

@Asylum Coming home soon? Rain headed your way...

It's a nice idea, but it seems like you still get sent to another page. @myLotBugs - any way to add a dialog box that tells users they're leaving the current page with the option to stay on the same page?

That's in the plan for R2 :)

I noticed this added page several days ago, too, pgn. I figured it was something to help with re-directs on myLot, but I wasn't and haven't been suffering through re-directs. Since I don't turn off AdBlock, I haven't been re-directed even once, so those new pages are kinda annoying to me. They add an extra page I have to answer and then close after I get done with YouTube or whatever I am trying to do on myLot.

yeah...that is new...though the impact of it on people using a laptop to mylot is not much since a new tab opens anyway.

It is a good idea, it should reduce the instances of people being redirected elsewhere whilst scrolling down a conversation thread...
