About 9/10 times I click any page on Allakhazam other than the main page, I get redirected to:

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/shared/PointRollAds.htm?pid=610933F68020080509210144&redir=http://adopt.specificclick.net/lnk.sm%3Faplcd=69286%3B6162%3B4652%3B46498%3B50598.f.9.fh.nr.436@@xzyov@@zoovmwzov@@-4_9@@f@@f%3B1214675215925%3Bhref=$CTURL$&flash=9&server=portalserve&bu=60586391]

Some broken Redirect link

Something seems broken.


Edit:
Had to remove the url coding, the url was too big or messing it up some how

Edit2:
It seems to not be doing it anymore. Yes I did scan for adware, and I checked other sites within my browser to make sure I didn't get hijacked.

I'm having the same problem on a freshly reformated drive. The issue occours with both Firefox and IE7. It seems to be happening whenever the ford advertisement is on the page.

Sounds like I'm having a similar problem. Type in a search, the Ford ad comes up and no matter what I do, all I get is a black page with the Ford ad. If I click on it, it opens the Ford ad in a new browser and continues to blissfully extol the virtues of the Ford line of products. :-(

Ya. Same problem searching for anything. Type anything and see the Ford advertisement. If not a bug on the website, then its hacked to annoy us ... and help Ford.

We're looking into this now folks.

I imagine it's a broken ad, working to get it pulled but since it's primetime saturday, having a bit of a problem getting ahold of ad ops.

We have removed all ads for now since we can't seem to nail down the one causing all the issues. We appreciate your feedback and patience and apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks!

In the process of removing the ads, did you, by chance, make it so that Premium users now also have the space alloted for the tower ad by accident?

I ask because that's what it looks like right now:

Yea, by accident.

Will be fixed soon.

We re-enabled ads but all the ones that were giving the page takeover problem should be gone.

If you get it again please post the URL here that takes over the screen.
