OT- Why am I getting BigSoccer through the DC United website?

    Anyone else having this problem?

    It's not really a problem per se but it is quite distracting..

    I went to the DC website earlier this evening and clicked on to the "DC United message boards" on the bottom of the page and it clicked me over to BS.com and now the page is in some funky red script..

    Very wierd...

    The message boards at DCUnited.com are BigSoccer.com's message boards.

    The only difference is the skin. There are other skins too: a Eurosport skin, an Earthquakes skin, a Setanta skin and this really hideous SoS skin - to name a few.

    So how to fix it ...

    FOR NON-PREMIUM MEMBERS ONLY!!!

    It should fix it.

    For premium members ... I'm not really sure what you'd do to fix it. I guess you'd have to ask Jesse.

    It's not weird. You just needed to reset your BS.com cookies to the default. They got changed when you entered the boards from the DCU website.

    This happened to me once too Cweedchop. And I had to go through all sorts of machinations to get it changed. One thing I do know, is that I intend to never hit that message board button on dcunited.com again! Ugh, it makes me shiver just thinking about it.

    Could've been worse -- you could have hit the message board button on "SoS".com. That would really have made you shiver. Plus, after changing your cookies, you would have needed to call in an exorcist for your computer. ;)

    presumably if you are a premium member you should be able to delete the file or cookie with your login info and then go to big soccer and just login again and get a "fresh" view.

    It happened to me with the Quakes site and I thought it was a conspiracy since I'm a Galaxy fan and we had just kicked their butts two weeks in a row.
    I had a Quake's skin for 2 weeks! It was hell!!!
