I also just got it again. I was really hoping it had all been fixed, since I didn't receive the re-directs this morning at all.
I was accessing the other forum page (Halloween costumes thread) from a hyperlink sent by a friend, when the IE window went to an alert pop-up just seconds after loading dvdtalk. I was able to read the thread title, and then the page changed to a small "error" window. Hitting X to cancel, I was re-directed to:
http://scanner.malware-scan.com/3_sw...958_0_3569_ao_
Another window also popped up in the lower right hand corner. I couldn't enlarge one, or move it at all. That window also disappeared when I closed the malware site.

I'm getting it on Safari on the mac. Always chuckle when I get a "you have been infected" pop up on this thing.
The ad is annoying because I can't trash it by closing the window though.

DVD Talk please fix this ASAP.
If I did not have Norton Security, I would have a virus now.
The Forums are great and I hope you get it fixed.

Just happened to me with Safari on the Mac as well. I was using Wamcom Mozilla under Mac OS 9 earlier today and didn't experience it once reading threads over the course of about 30 minutes, though.

Still happening on the main page. I installed the NoScript pluggin for Firefox and do not have the problem. Also disabling all AtiveX in IE fixed the problem. Have the window pop up at work was scarry as hell as I tried to run the AV right after clossing IE and got an error with Norton.
