Looks like the site's been hacked

Hi.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this but it looks like the site has been hacked. When you visit the site from a link on Google it sometimes (not all of the time) takes you to a different site.

A good way to test this is to open an incognito window in Chrome and in Google search for "civic type r forum" and then click on your site in the results. It'll then appear to open your site but then quickly directs to the other site.

I had this same thing recently with a client's site (I'm a web developer) and there was indeed a malicious redirect script in the source code.

Hope this helps.
 
I actually noticed this earlier, but I thought nothing of it as most of it was blocked. I presumed it was works' firewall being funny as it can happen quite often where ad links etc are all blocked. I'm sure Al will look into it when he gets a chance. Thanks again for bringing this up.
 
I can't replicate it on my phone but we'll look into it.

I thought the same of my works firewall, so never mention it before. As it happens so rarely.
 
awesome! I'll have a look when I get home, probably a bug/exploit in the vbulletin code
 
This happens everytime I search type r owners in Google and click the link and takes you to different website and I press back straight away and reclick the link
 
should be all sorted now, cheers for the heads up
 
Me neither and just noticed too. Don't try removing it like I did because you can't search for it again.

We're looking into it!
