Is the forum still under attack?
I attempted to sign in this morning, and this is what I got, a link to movie and **** sites.
I thought the problems were solved???
I just tried to post the link to the place it took me, but its no longer in my paste button.
Did anyone else have this problem this morning? BF tried to access the forum also, and he got the same thing I did!
Any link we clicked to the forum took us to this site.

This is the first time I have had any problem with it.
Why would it change?
I have not changed anything at all on the computer.

the hackers use different things I suppose...I make sure I update my antivirus stuff daily.
I must say the tech folks squashed the latest attack quickly.
I wish there were a way to prevent it altogether so until they resolve it totally all I can say is be vigilante with your AV stuff.

That I am, that is why I was so surprised that it got to me!!!
I never had problems before today, but maybe it did a sneak attack while I wasnt watching!
I have the virus programs on both my laptop and my desk top set to do quick scans at least 3 times a day, which is why I was so surprised by this.
I shall remain vigilant.
