Lost somewhere in the mountains of the southeast!
I don't know if it's just my computer, but every time I type in www.arboristsite.com, I'm re-routed to another site. I have tried the same thing on other sites just to make sure, but this is the only one that I'm being re-routed to some download site. It is possible this might be one of the presents left behind by the hacker we had recently.

What I've done to get around it is to just click on one of the many emails I get from this site and go from there. Once on the site I put the "Settings" tab in my Favorites and use that instead.

Here is the site I keep being re-routed to just for informational purposes. Do not click on the link itself. I already sent an email to the administrator. :

The admins and their tech staff are probably working on it. Not much we can do for right now.

Awesome! While it sucks we're being hacked, I'm glad it's not my computer. I thought I had a virus. Ain't them guys got anything better to do than hack a website where a bunch of people want to discuss firewood?
