(Ok this reply is a little useless now because meanwhile Jeff has already confirmed that it's on the server)

Actually, I was not confirming that it is "on the server" (the site itself or the host company that serves the site). There are tons of "companies" whose business is to hijack certain domains and utilize them for exactly this sort of specific re-direct. It is quite possible that it is out of my hands and the host company I use.  I will continue to investigate.

This is all french to me, but maybe it's useful? http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2013/01/15/cleaning-up-the-ip-board-url4short-mess/

 

Also found this post, where the guy mentions that after finding the affected packages/code he was able to comment it out to keep it from returning:

Have you raised a support ticket with Invision Power Services?

Yes, formal support ticket filed --- waiting for a reply. Meanwhile, I have done several of the things that have been suggested by support comments on IPB forums regarding this issue. I will look into the links you have provided as well. We'll get this done, I'm sure, and put an end to this annoying re-direct problem.

Thanks for all your hard work on the site Jeff.  Good luck with the server people!
