    We'll need a legible pic or the domain name involved before I can move this to site dev for the staff to check.

    Most likely thing here is that you have a virus. Googling for "redirect to cheapstuff.com" seems to indicate that it's a fairly common virus. Update your AV and run a full scan and that should solve the problem.

    Thanks Morpork- i assume it won't read Avast as a threat (seeing as how they're competitors etc?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
