this is still a problem on this forum... just click on the logon screen and get taken straight to another web page. I have to keep clearing my caches and it still happens. Must be some bug on this forum.
I just clicked on recent posts having just come back to the forum and it happened again......seems nowhere is safe on the site..
Also, I would think that as a lot of site 'problems' do seem happen on weekends (from what I have seen in the past) it would make sense to have some sort of way for staff on the forum to alert a site technical person regarding problems with bugs, viruses and hackers on the site. It doesn't make members feel confident about using the site. I know many work a five day week anyway, but for safety and confidence, something needs to be put in place as this problem was brought up (and is still ongoing) over a week ago now !!
A happy and a safe site. means happy and confident members. old and new
Best wishes RRB

Did you know they have a Facebook page.
Absolutely this. I offer my sincerest apologies to anyone who's still getting redirected from the site, but would like to reassure you all that we're doing our absolute best to stop it happening.It's not always that simple to sort these things out. If a hacker manages to install a 'backdoor script' on the server it means that as soon as you clear infected files they can instantly reinfect the server. A large website can have hundreds of thousands of files and the script can be disguised as anything, even an image file, so it's not easy to find. Having spent 6 days this Christmas disinfecting my own webserver and reinstating websites after a hack, whoever is responsible for this site has my sympathy. From a security POV provided you have your own antivirus and malware software up to date you should be fine.
May I ask what's changed on your PC? The ***************** stuff doesn't seem to install any malware on any system we've checked it from.Just wanted to edit a word and the edit, delete, report have changed !! 'Tools' came up bottom left and I had to click on that and then click on edit, how did that happen ?
I really believe this site is being hacked in some way, I wrote my main post last night and woke up to changes I didn't make, has my computer been targeted too ? Alerts has completely changed too
Trust me, we're not finding it particularly funny eitherI just clicked the "Join Forum " dismiss notice and there I was on that page again, its no longer funny

Hi, it's how I get into alerts that has changed and I have to click on tools, bottom left of the post i am on, to edit etc. probably coincidence ?? but odd that these little changes were made over night
Trust me, we're not finding it particularly funny either
If you could help me out by letting me know what has completely changed in your forum Alerts, we may be able to get the issue resolved quicker.No, but someone else surely is........................

Am I correct in the assumption that you're browsing on a mobile device?It's a different way of clicking on to them, plus I have 'the word tools' that I have to click on, which I didn't before. But, for whatever the reason, it's not critical, as other darker forces definitely need your attention. I will pm you if it continues or If I see any thing else.
