Davidsw site hacked?

Is it working? Getting weird redirection? Conspiracy?

Ugh.... chat bots. I Can’t look on any car site without that annoying thing popping up.

This better not become the norm on every watch site too.

Noticed that too; was getting redirected to download a VPN. Texted David and they were on it. Looks like it is fixed now.

Note to DavidSW: Chatbots are really annoying. The annoying part is them keep popping up. I see the need that some people may need to chat but maybe there could be the chat link without it popping out at you and disturbing you from what you are trying to look at.
I see Bezel as a net negative, but otherwise love your site and visit it often.

A chatbot can be annoying but its a great feature to weed out tire kickers and get the consultation going. I don't blame him for getting it.

That chatbot has been there a while now. It’s annoying but I just close it and doesn’t usually open again until next time I visit the site.

I used that chatbot one time on his site. I inquired about a daytona. I never got a response. I don't know if it doesnt work or whether my inquiry wasnt worth his time.

Actually, yes hacked. It's happened several times recently.

Has nothing to do with the chat bot and everything to do with recent changes to site structure.

the landing page shows "not secure" on my browser... if you go into the different watches though it looks fine.

is this what you are talking about?
