i was saying if

Alright, I'm just saying. No need for the emoticon. Please look at this reasonably.

Even if it IS a virus, as I said, I doubt it was one of the trolls.

I said it might

It's back online for me, but the gotoquiz icon is still broken.

As I told Dark before, if it were a virus, it would affect your whole system, not just this website. Most mobile devices can't get viruses that easily and if it's your laptop, then the type of virus would affect other things, possibly will make it so your laptop won't start up.
All it seems to be doing is redirecting you to ad pages. But you're smart enough to not accept or click on anything fishy, so I doubt it's a virus. -
it is affecting my entire device
-
Then I regret to inform you that you weren't smart enough to not click on anything that popped up after the gray page. ._.

WHAT IS EVERONE TALKING ABOUT???? NOTHING NEVER HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!

I'm still investigating this and so far have not found anything on the server that could cause it.
Dark, or anyone who is still experiencing this problem, if you could try the following things, it may be helpful:
1) Disable javascript in your browser settings (in Chrome settings you can search "javascript" to find the option). See if you still get redirected with javascript turned off, or if that stops the redirects.
2) In Chrome, install the Live HTTP Headers plugin at then open it (it runs in its own tab). In another tab, go to gotoquiz and try to get the redirect. If you get redirected, switch to the Live HTTP Headers tab, click the "Show All" button, copy all the text and send it to me.
These steps might help find the source of the problem.Admin -
OH MY GOSH. /facepalm

I'll try that right now, thank you.
I gotta say, the color you're using for the Admin box is a good color choice! -
Turning off javascript didn't fix it, I'll do the second thingy for you.
-
Do you want me to email you the whole thing or copy and paste it here? It's.. Honestly a bunch of gibberish, to say the least. I closed all of my tabs because I accidentally had Nexflix open the first time I tried this. I should have only the things for the redirecting thing and not any other host/domain thing. (I'm sorry, I have no idea what you call any of this. I'm not a tech person.)

Thanks, sure send it in an email and hopefully it'll give some clues.
