Is anyone else having problems getting to the main page? Everytime I try to access it I seem to be hijacked over to this page

http://www.westtek.com/ppc.htm

Is it only me that is having a problems or is everyone?

Nope, not just you...

Seems like it's the banner ad on the upper right of the page...


Sort funny, but annoying!

I could get to the home page fine with ads switched off.

Logging out gets me diverted to Westec. The ad seems to have hijacked the PPCT page.

Strange.

Good question... very annoying... could this be an attack or a banner add gone bad? Time to call on the big guns!!! :2gunfire:

Ended up turning off Ads - could not get past through anything! Even trying to turn out ads was a pain since it was directing straight to the westek website...

I talked to westtek and they are trying to get a hold of the thought team to let them know. They are getting quite a few calls about it but they can't do anything about it since it is on the PPCT side.

Looks like they may have just gotten it fixed.

The Banner ads are taking over :devilboy: .

Must of only happened a couple of hours ago. I was able to view the site in all it's glory earlier in work.

You can always get to the news anyway form the forums which is nice.

edit: yep its fixed minus the banner ad

No worries Jason! I think this was just a rallying point for your faithful army to "take care of whoever did this to your site!"

At the ready...
