Hello from FL—also issue with signing up
I am new here, looking forward to getting back into riding.
I had an issue signing up. It seems that a malicious/sneaky ad appeared at the bottom of my sign up. There was a “click here to Start” button so I thought that was there to complete the registration. I did not realize it was an ad until it took me to a place where I would enter a sweepstakes and asked me for my information again. I thought that was weird so I didn’t do it and went back and noticed that the “real” link was also just some words above it that did not look clickable that said finish registration. The ad really matched and seemed logical to click a button and the text above (the place I was supposed to click) was just describing it. I just thought the admins may want to know about this and I hope it doesn’t fool others like it almost did to me.
