hope all of you are in the Crimbo spirit! Just purchased Now That's What I Call Xmas on iTunes.

 

Only spirit I want to concern myself with, is a bottle with the words Southern Comfort written on it

Second attempt of clicking on Fruit Emu and im in but always on first click goes to URL site-never used to!!

Still happens to me, also on Chrome, BUT only when the site address is mistyped, or I try to access from a Google search page.

 

For example, if I type 'fruit-emu' into the address bar, rather than the correct URL, I get redirected to Google search page, and then if I click the Fruit-Emu result, then I get the URL4SHORT site.

Yes that's what I have been experiencing too.

The good news is I believe I have got to the bottom of the problem, and it should be resolved very soon...

As far as I can tell there is no risk to the computers of individuals, it's simply an annoyance and a potential loss of traffic to the site...

This should now be fully resolved and is not expected to recur. However if you notice anything similar, please let us know as soon as possible with as much detail as you can, preferably screenshots. Thanks.

The problem had briefly recurred, but it should have now been sorted...

 

Please let me know asap if it happens again, many thanks.

I get this quite often too, usually from a google search and not a bookmark.

It shouldn't be happening anymore.
