Hi,
while looking at an abstract for a paper given at foss4g 2008 (in a
browser that wasn't running NoScript..), after a moment the page got
redirected to some 3rd party website. I take it this is not the intended
behaviour.
any abstract will do, e.g. go to the main 2008 page and pick one of the
invited speakers. remove the last /nnn number to take you to the abstract
instead of the PDF download.

(direct link not given to avoid helping promote the search engine page
score)
It seems abstracts from 2009 are also {af|in}fected..

Comment:
all "abstract" links here seems to be affected:
http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g/2008/schedConf/presentations
I can't seem to find an example 2009 link with this problem.

my mistake,
http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g/2009
redirects to
http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g/2008
... I was looking at the 2008 site the whole time.

Comment:
The widget used for rating abstracts (buzzfuse.com) apparently expired and
we co-opting the web page instead of playing nice.
I've removed this code now and things look better. Please confirm and re-
open if still an issue.
