  Has anyone else experienced this lately, in the past couple of days? I dont have any spyware/adware running on my computer. I will click on "Forums" and instead be taken to an entirely separate site from WGT. It seems to happen more in the "Earn Free Credits" area when clicking on the tabs to watch videos or do surveys, etc. Im not a complainer but this is rather annoying and needs to be fixed.

   

  Edit: to be completely clear, Im not talking about when clicking on a video or an ad.

   It happens in the "earn Free Credits" area because those are 3rd party offers. Clicking on the videos or shopping offers takes you their website because it's those companies that buy those credits for you.

  No, I mean when clicking on a tab that is on the WGT site. Of course I know clicking on an ad will take me to a separate site... Say I click on "Forums" at the top right of the page (wgt.com), nearly 10% of the time, it takes me to a random page.

  You might try flushing your DNS cache, in case it got corrupted.

  I believe clearing cache & cookies has worked. It hasnt happened since I took the other poster's advice. Thanks :)

   I also think using Opera couldve been a factor since its not supported by WGT, maybe the website code and links were getting jumbled from ad's being blocked, or displaying the site differently etc.
