We know it’s an inconvenience (it is for us Mods as well) , but FlyerTalk (and at least one other Internet Brands forum we know of) have been under a Distributed Denial of Service attack. Cloudflare is intercepting that, but it periodically may intervene and redirect during your browsing with a popup whilst it is checking.

This is explained in the Wikipost at the top of the page, which also advises

If you are posting content, select all and copy prior to saving or posting to prevent losing your work. Then you can still post it after overcoming the redirect.
