Ad.fly shows up on my links from my forum

edited June 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I just installed a forum, and I notice that all my links in the forum, on postings, redirect to ad.fly (a banner on top of the intended page below)... Is this within the design of Vanilla? help.

    I added a theme, and that would make the most sense.

    it is not a virus, but it is malware IMO

    He makes no mention of inserting Ad.fly but it does, and he is inserting a predetermined account quite clearly.

    I remember this user expected lot of praise for changing the colours on the embed theme.

    Perhaps it should be suspended pending further investigation.

    Yep he is injecting ad.fly ads @underdog can you suspend those themes

    I would urge The Management to ban him.

    Code in basic theme: default.master.php

    < script>
var adfly_id = xxxxxx;
var adfly_advert = 'banner';
var exclude_domains = ['<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?>',];
</ script>
< script src=" http://adf.ly/js/lin k-conve rter.js">

    I have removed his acct number from above.
    Also this I would imagine is on all his themes.

    @Todd

    **which other themes besides basicversion **

    Is this worthy of a announcement status to alert unwitting users? or at least a stub where the downloads were (so anyone who downloaded would know). since this message will be hidden from sight on the site in just a few days and it descends down the list.

    He had a few like basic green, basic blue, etc. They all looked awful.
