    Home page has changed

    For some reason, my Sim-Outhouse home page has changed, I have had to go and find the forums, is this just me or has it happened to others ?

    Has happened to me in the past...

    But only when I was younger and visiting porn sites....Yes I did that *Once*....

    It sounds like adware has redirected your Home page...

    Also some things you install(mostly applications) have you set for a new Home Page if you miss the check box to not let it change it....AVG and some defraggers and CCleaner do that to you.....

    Run a good spyware, malware tool and see what you get....

    Funny you should say that.....

    No it isn't porn but I have had all sorts of issues recently, I have changed anti-virus, firewall and all sorts of tweaks trying to fix it. Playing FSX this morning, it crashed and an error saying that my NVidia driver had shut down. I have also not been able to use powerpoint for a month dispite re-installing it. Ontop of many start up issues this was too much.

    Anyway, uninstalled my NVidia driver earlier and all is fixed. I have been using 185.? that was recommended on here and whilst it ran FSX very well, it has upset my computer everywhere else !!! Now onto the official 181.22 and powerpoint works again....yipee !!!

    happened to me too, along with a no more uploading images and repaint...
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Deleted my cookies and tried again. When I type in www.sim-outhouse.com, it defaults to...

    http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/cmps_index.php

    My front screen used to have the forums listed down the side, but not anymore.

    Now this is serious, Jankees, your repaints makes this forum addictive, someone please get Jankees sorted so he can keep uploading images of his repaints !!!

    Anti-virus programs dont catch everything. I might recommend you install and run an anti rootkit program to see if anything may be hiding omewhere wher a typical anti virus program cant find it. Too, over 2000 virus's and pieces of spyware are released on well, it's either a days or a weeks basis, and it takes the anti virus compzanies anywhere up to a week to get the sample and then another week or two to find a cure..
    Best of luck. Hope it isnt what it sounds like..

    Hey Guzler,

    Clicking on the Navigation item just under the SOH logo brings up a menu that has the options that were on the left hand side of the home page (not sure why it changed, but I'm seeing it here also).

    Hi Folks

    Code:
    http://www.sim-outhouse.com
    redirects to -
    Code:
    http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/cmps_index.php

    Whereas
    Code:
    http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php
    gives you the older layout portal page.

    Don't think it's a result of anything nasty,
    just admin's reworking the layout.

    Possibly to reduce unimportant info and server queries ?

    I've never felt so frustrated.......
    died so frequently/spectacularly/or needlessly.......
    yet had so much fun, in a long time.

    Thank Paul.

    By the way, are you based at the ship yard ? I know a guy (Dave Johnson) who works there, also a life guard. We used to fly microlights from Cockerham.

    Cheers

    Same experience here; once I found the forums again (it took me a minute to remember there were pull down menus LOL!) I made a new shortcut and use that now. It's all good.
