I really cant understand what you are saying. Where is the ad located and on which pages? How is it a redirect? do you have a link to the affected page?

Our website Hardcore50 http://www.hardcore50.com/vbulletin/ has a redirect to a porn site as you try to enter. The redirect is to hardcoreLS1 which was a sister website under the previous owner that was shut down. Myself and 2 other partners purchased Hardcore50 and have no experience with code and Vbulletin code to remove the advertisments. The only way to enter our site is by using a ad blocker, but our traffic is nearly gone. Any help is appreciated.

This could be in your header or below navbar ad location templates.

Go to style manager from your ACP expand the style , > ad location templates > ad_navbar_below and post the code here.

Also you could go to style manager > search in templates > search for the url of the redirect site.

What would I look for?. Do you have a contact #?.

You have to look for iframes or meta redirects and then delete them.

Unless you've had a hack through the server and you have infected php files, the most common one is eval(base64_ code, search your vbulletin php files for this (or better still use the admincp>maintainance>diagnostics>suspect file versions and then just search those files that show up as suspect for the eval code change this link to be your website and forum and it will take you straighjt to the diagnostics http://www.YOURSITE.com/forum/adminc...p?do=doversion
