Anyone noticing strange things with Rafters access? First time I open the site using a "favorite" upon starting IE, I get the Rivals home page. Then I can use the exact same favorite and it sends me right into the Rafters forum. If I exit IE and try to re-access Rafters, I get the same silliness all over again. Haven't tried this with FF yet. I've noticed it in Safari on my iPad.

Hate when things behave like this. Its almost like a redirect or some cookie is getting flushed after closing the browser. The behavior is recent, say within the past week. Never has this happen till recently.

Same here. Also, when I first open RR the page doesn't come up refreshed, like all pages should. I have to manually hit the refresh button.
 
This is frustrating as hell! Can a mod forward this to the PTB? Maybe Rowland can help?
 
yes had the same problem..then I realize I needed to go to schools..click on KY then on rupp..after that..my favorite button worked again

I've been doing a bit of testing since I posted the first thread. IE has the behavior I described. Firefox seems to cache a prior version of a page but doesn't send me to the Rivals home page. A re-fresh does return a current version of the page as some other posters have indicated. MS Edge seems to behave for the most part.

So this is all over the place in terms of how the browser behaves. Everyone should be careful that you are where you think you are on the forum. Behavior like this makes it easy to get click jacked or your PC trashed through cross site scripts.

Thanks to all for the responses.
 
Have Rafters as my homepage when I turn on my browser and it has just been taking me to the Rivals page instead the past couple of days of so. So, count me in as another it is happening to.
 
I thought my computer was goofy but, I guess it's Rivals. I normally just click the RR fav icon on my desktop and come straight to this board. I guess Rivals thinks we're missing too many advertisements by doing stuff like that.
Would appreciate Mod(s) passing along our displeasure with this nonsense. Thanks ahead of time.

Me too. I have saved it like five more times, but still takes me to Rivals on tablet. New favorite on PC works though.
