• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

When clicking on any links to external websites, I get this kind of error;

Connection refused.
 
I am getting this as well. The page has a [N] (Newzon) page logo.

I have the Newzon opt-out for Chrome installed.

This happens with any link to external websites.
 
Even when I click on the HardOCP link from the forum

Same here. I disabled Newzon in Chrome and still get the error.
 
is that what the green N is ? i dont have newzon installed.
 
it has to do with click.hardforum.com that's presumably broke.
I have no add-ins in IE and getting the same error when trying to click through on a link.
 
We are getting this fixed now. It is a universal problem for all users currently.
 
The hard drive storing the database filled up unexpectedly with large log files, preventing any connections to the database and causing the error.

The error was not specifically NewZon related, but since both the outbound click handling and NewZon use click.hardforum.com, you saw the green [N] favicon with the error.

Sorry for the inconvenience, the problem has been fixed.

FWIW, we use click.hardforum.com to analyze outbound traffic from the forums primarily to record clicks to e-tailers. We do not collect any data other than WHERE the click went. No data is collected to link any clicks with user names or IP addresses, so in that regard it is totally anonymous. We have done this every since Newegg kicked us out of its commission program.

To give you an idea the about data being collected, it is pretty simple. I just took a copy and paste from the logs this morning so you see what is being pulled. This is the extent of the click data for etailers being collected.
