Whenever I click any of the forums here listed within "Perfect World International Forum" I see the forum for a split second before I am redirected immediately to a white page that loads infinitely, and on the bottom bar of my browser window says "Transferring data from googleleads.g.doubleclick.net..."

The only way I can see the forum is if I click "Stop" on my browser quick enough, before I get redirected.

Wtf.

    I remember reading a thread about this before in this forum, but like you, I'm too lazy to search for it atm.

    I think the best/easiest solution was to A. Get a better browser, or B. use HOSTS file to block ads. (check this site out)

    Edit: by a better browser, I mean Chrome.

    It's not that I am too lazy to search. Navigating the forum's features are simply too frustrating when I am being constantly redirected.

    I use Firefox. Someone, whoever responsible for running this forum and designing it, needs to fix the issue. Thank you both for the tips, but I'm sure you'll agree the true solution is not for me to switch to Chrome or install ad blockers. Someone else needs to do some work.

    This, while mostly true, unfortunately is the only solution so far >< you will need to "do the work" in order to "fix" this.

    Try using a different browser, and some players have had success using Adblock.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    Firefox always froze on the forums for me, because of adblock and NoScript lagging out from the ads. Chrome is amazing though, I don't seem to need addons and it loads fine.
