You could disable html in the forums. That should disable whatever redirect that was posted.

does it mean all links posted on the forum will go inactive ?
will disabling html stop the forced redirecting problem

update :
disabling html is not working, the certain links to the posts in the forum are getting redirected to this annoying mybookface.net website

Simple issue: you've been hacked!
Your link is returning malicious iframe and Javascript code. I expect your files have been tampered with. Delete and restore a clean backup. Use your access logs to see how the hacker got in.

Ups. I agree with evaders99. This is not a normal redirect behaviour. U have been hacked for sure.

Check your htaccess file as well as that is being redirected as well.

cheers for your response mates.
I found out what was causing the problem
the ebay link with eBayISAPI.dll was causing the mayhem.
i am not sure why so it could be the windows system function the .dll extenstion calls . Basically any post with eBayISAPI.dll goes all bananas .
removed the eBayISAPI.dll from affected posts and now no redirections no errors. Can anyone explain whats causing it ? (anything within Raven Nuke ? )

And plus how many sites on Raven nuke has been hacked so far? As i think RN is much safer compared to a lot of CMS around atm.

where was the .dll file stored? on your site or a remote server? How was it included in the post?

edit: Are you using byethost for your webhosting?

i think so the site is on bytehost or one of its resellers called 0fees.net

the text eBayISAPI.dll is a part of ebay link for example

Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

now if the post contains the word eBayISAPI.dll anywhere on the post either as a part of a link or just on its own.
the post goes all mental and starts redirecting.

but once the text or word eBayISAPI.dll was removed from affected posts , all was ok.
wonder what was causing this anamoly

Scan your PC and search for eBayISAPI.dll there are thousands of Google search results. You should also search for mybookface.net you will find entries from different free host users.

The reason I asked is because bytehost and a few other free webhosts redirect links to mybookface.net by default if the link is either a dead link or if the content it points to is considered against their terms of service. mybookface.net pays them to direct traffic to them and this may be a host issue and not site issue.
