All right, this is getting old.
I just reinstalled 355 and after a completely normal setup, I go to log in to the site. The page opens for just a second and then immediately redirects to http://verification.mvpitsolutions.com/lander/AdBlock%20Must%20be%20Disabled%20to%20View%20This%20Content.html
And will go no further unless I back out, hide ALL skins except for the base CSSZen and retry. I did a search in the program folder and found that link in all of the skin die user.tpl files. How do I fix this?
This feature is beyond useless, since turning off Adblock does nothing anyway. I can't even log in as admin, it shows me as a regular member.
My site: asshat.0fees.net
nothing is bridged, this is a new install.
I searched for 'adblock' and login error, nada.
sql version: 5.6.13
php version: 5.4.25
test account: none, because I can't create any.
EDIT: Managed to mod myself in the sql. Still can't use any skins but the base set. Test account is test1 name and pass.
I also cannot import ANY of my old date, so all users etc are lost.
Not efiction 3.x related.
The link leads to a potentially harmful website, obviously whoever operates it does not want AdBlock to reduce the amount of bad content.
The site URL also tests pretty suspicious:

Either your host or your machine have been compromised to spread malware.
Yeah, I get a lot of flak over both my hosts, but there's NOTHING 'malicious' on either of them. My system is also clean.
Fact is, this install was done with a freshly downloaded version of 355 from here. After editing out that particular section of code, the redirect stopped.
The install has various errors on both hosts, and I highly doubt a hacker was online waiting for me to install this just so they could change things in realtime specifically to mess with my little lbgt fansite.
There are so many errors that you can literally do nothing but post fic and read it. Nothing is customizable. Options won't stay picked. Mail says it was sent but never received. Modules will either not install or will install and break the site. Many options in both the admin panel and the user profile are doubled or even tripled. I have been using eFiction since v351 and know what to change to add buttons, styles and etc, but after installing 2 identical copies on two different hosts, the number of errors is ridiculous.
Even using tutorials and searching here, nothing helps. I've searched for other archive software to use, but no luck. Since I'm stuck with this one for now, I'd at least like to get some help without someone immediately trying to throw shade on my host sites or my computer or my seeming lack of experience working with eFiction.
I appreciate your reply, but this has gone beyond frustrating.
Not sure what's up with the redirect link. I downloaded the files from this site and could not find anything wrong with the user.tpl files. I'm wondering if it was somehow compromised during upload. Either that or the particular skin you downloaded was corrupt - keep in mind that skins are submitted by users so they may not always be correct/safe to use. I do know that the skins that come default are a little outdated as far as browser visibility.
For the options that are doubled, when you did a fresh install did you also use a fresh database? If you uploaded fresh files but tried to keep the same database and reinstalled then it could have doubled some of your fields. That would be my best guess. Maybe go through your database and see if any panels have been duplicated. That would explain the double links.
Thanks, this was actually helpful.
