I've had this problem for a while now, but one of the subclasses I've added to my homebrew collection - Circle of Witchcraft, by Okashido - tries to send me to a different website when I open it up. I am not sure why this would happen, but it reliably happens every time I open it. My anti-virus software keeps catching it, warning me that it wants to send me to a 'foundfax' .com site, which is apparently known for malicious software.
Now, even if this was my anti-virus being overly protective of me against a certain website, it does not explain why opening a homebrew is trying to send me there in the first place. It's not even just when I go to the homebrew page for it. If I'm looking through my collections and click on the subclass to expand it, I will be immediately sent away from this website. If I try to do a search for it in the homebrew subclasses it crashes there when I try to open it, too. I know at one point I must have been able to open it safely as I knew what the features of the subclass were, but at some point it's become a hazard.
At this point I just want to remove it from my collection, but in order to do that I have to open it first, which just leaves me going in circles. Has anybody else had this problem? Are there any solutions for it?
Just to note, I just checked this out and didn't have the same issue. I'd suggest troubleshooting your browser first. It opened for me normally both from the subclass directory and my subclass collection, and all the links embedded in it (spells) are correctly linked.
Firstly, what you describe isn't possible. This site utilises checks and blocks when people try to use unapproved html or external links.
Secondly, it would affect everyone and given this subclass has over 2,300 adds and upvoted 100 times -- it seems unlikely nobody else would have mentioned this.
Finally, I have checked this and there is nothing in the homebrew that would cause this effect.

You will need to check your browser and antivirus.

How am I supposed to do that if I can't click on it without being sent to another site? :-/
You don’t do it in your collection, you do it on the subclass’s description page. Y’know, where you added it to your collection.

Works on other browser, no idea why Chrome would do that. Or why my anti-virus would do this with Chrome and not Edge.
And yeah, I didn't think redirecting me should have been possible, but I couldn't dismiss what was literally happening right in front of me.
