Definitely to Refinery29. I was using an iPad. A pop-up appeared and there was no way to get rid of it or escape it. It commandeered Safari. I certainly wasn't about to click through that thing to try to get around it! I had to reboot my iPad and clear my browsing history to get rid of it. Needless to say, I won't be visiting that site again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535425 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 15:42:01 +0000 Greg 1535425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info. I just heard back from the R29 technical team. They know about the problem and they are apparently working on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535400 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 15:01:01 +0000 Classically Casual 1535400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I get their emailed version and it's been working like normal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535352 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 14:07:36 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1535352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same redirect earlier this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535297 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 12:34:00 +0000 Daria 1535297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know, thanks for the heads up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535277 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 11:33:53 +0000 Liz 1535277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I experienced that redirect last week with the link to their site -- decided to totally stay away from them in the future.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535241 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 08:36:46 +0000 Anonymous 1535241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you should mention that Greg, as the same happened to me last week, so In gave up trying to get to the website. To tell the truth, I've always found it a rather annoying website, with lots of extra links and add ons to rather iffy looking places :.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535213 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 06:53:58 +0000 Greg 1535213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to add that when I was testing I experienced a strange redirect on one occasion that I followed that link. To be on the safe side you might want to avoid visiting Refinery29 for now. I have reached out to them and I'll update here when I know more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-strange-link-behavior#post-1535205 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 06:13:23 +0000 Greg 1535205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A YLF reader contacted us to let us know that something strange happened to her iPad when she followed the Refinery29 link in today's link love. Refinery29 is a well known site, but out of an abundance of caution we have removed the link.</p> <p>Please let us know if you saw anything odd when you followed this link, or if you see anything odd when following any other links from YLF in the future.</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
