I clicked land in the navigation bar from the forums, and it asked me to log in. I logged in and hit submit, and found myself at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management site. Both funny ha-ha and funny strange. Backing up in my browser, I was able to reach the SL land page.

Doesn't seem to be happening now. Where exactly did you click?

It just happened again 0_o
I clicked "land" in the nav bar from the forums, it took me to the log-in page, I logged in and was taken to the US BLM. Has this happened to others? Is this Linden humor or some bizarre code malfunction? c'est bizarre _____________________

It might be highjacking your links clicked and sending you to top-ranked searched pages or something. _____________________

I think lordfly is probably right.
Just for fun I did a google search for "land" and that's the first site listed... blm.gov |

Coises
 . That means I'll need Spyware-scanning software, huh? I thought Firefox was pretty resistant to that stuff._____________________

Actually, I think it may just be some kind of link handing error in Firefox, since I use Firefox also and have scanned for adware with 3 different programs.

A similar error is happening to me when I attempt to login to my account on the website. The sign-in link goes to Microsoft's support website...
I'm also using Firefox. |

Firefox doesn't help against lots of trojans, spyware, etc if you have java turned on. Turn the java off and you will have a much safer experience.
 Also.... Microsoft has free antispyware now. Go to www.microsoft.com and search for 'antispyware.' And remember... If you need to use java... Always keep your virus scanner updated. |
