Yup, same redirects for me. I also thought my computer might be virus'd.
Over the last fortnight or so I've noticed the forum getting slower and slower (both at home and at work) to the point where loading pages will time out.I've also noticed that when you search the forum using Google the page redirects to a dodgy looking generic website (url123.com or something similar). Also, I've noticed that the toolbar in 'advanced reply' mode has disappeared... I'm running Chrome if that makes a difference? When I visit the site using a different browser (IE) I get the same issues.Is anyone else getting these problems, or have my computers picked up some kind of toymods specific virus? The slow pages could possibly be a java related problem?

Im getting the same here, multiple computers, multiple sites, pretty sure its not virus related.
I did find if you delete the extra junk off the link before it redirects, then the page loads fine.

Whenever I post a reply or start a thread weird things happen.
For example, in this thread wherever I hit 'enter' for a new line it has simply disappeared. When I reply to posts it takes forever, times out or tells me that I must wait 30 seconds between replies even if my post has already appeared in the thread?
It's only specifically this forum that I'm having trouble with. Not having any problems with other vBulletin forums or websites in general?
ah, do you mean that when you move the cursor around in the "quick reply" box, it doesn't update the position for about 10 secs or until you start typing? It a bit likeflying blind and having to type just to find out where the cursor is?
Yep, that happens sometimes too! None of these problems happen consistently though, they're all intermittent! What is going on?! haha
Can confirm this happens from my end.
There is a thread about the issue here:
Url123.info ? - CoolRunning Forums
Strange behavior with links from feeds - od[forum]
hacked by url123.info - vBulletin SEO Forums
Appears to be a hack that is happening to a number of forums lately.

This is being looked at.
The suspect add-ins have been disabled, and I'm yet to repeat the url redirect thing. However reports indicate it may come back.
I'm still digging deeper.
Ahhh, the forum is back to normal speed! And I can use the 'Advanced Edit' screen again! Thank you!
Guys,
Please post here if the redirect thing starts again. Preferably with an approx date and time that you noted the issue. It would appear that the issue is a weakness in the vb code allowing a script to get it. How it gets in is the unknown. At this stage it appears that it is redirecting for the purpose of making money from the url123 site.
But if you have been redirected it is advisable to clear your. Cookies for Toymods and run a virus scan.
Cheers

Just happened to me a minute or two ago - chrome beta browser on my galaxy nexus android - cleared cookies and all other browsing info beforehand.

Yup, slow + dodgy redirect is back again for me.
I get redirects but only when browsing here via a google search.
