Title: Help. Admins ! Danger Will Robinson

It would appear that the main page has some kind of advertising re-direct on it...

Whenever I try to go to the home page www.bmwr65.org I get re-directed to some kind of ad..

You're website has been compromised..

The website itself I think is fine - but someone appears to be spoofing on our domain name.  

If you put in the path "www.bmwr65.org/"  (note the slash) it should not redirect.   But, if you just put in the "www.bmwr65.org"   (no slash) an advert redirect can occur.

I think that this will require Justin or Suraklyn to resolve, as it may tie in to host/ISP provider they are using.

This just happened again to me.  It happened yesterday, or the day before, I don't recall.  After about three attempts it frees up...

I don't know if the consequences to my browser settings are related, but I have it set to automatically log in.
