    Default Malicious site ahead

    What's been going on with the forum re the site being hacked?

    Is it not possible to shut the hackers down immediately?

    Losing the forum for a couple of days is worse than losing a leg.

    I know, I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. Even though I get in here eventually.
    To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

    It probably depends on the browser used and I expect is generated as a result of one (or more) of the banner ads or similar that conduits through the site. No idea as it's not my field, but agree it's highly annoying!
