I checked HostingCatalog and everything appears to be running fine. I did notice that one advertiser's site is down, and since they are a top bidder in their categories, that might be the ad that you are clicking on.

Brings me to the site fine, must be an issue with your browser.

It must be IE 6... Upgrade to version 7. There's really no reason to stay with 6 unless you're running an illegal version of Windows.

well personally, i cant imagine why someone would design an ad that only runs in ie7!

IE6 is broke. I used FF until IE7 was released under public beta.

I don't think it was designed to be, but that's how it turned out, and it's time to treat youself to a better browser.
