    Default Site Hacked

    At around 10pm last night I opened an email from Andrew which appeared in my spam folder. I am always suspicious when emails land there especially from people I do not know and never open them but because it was from [email protected], I did. It was something about a Revolution, did not take the time to read but later when I tried to access the forum about 5 times over a period of an hour or so before I went to bed, I was taken to this web site. So happy all seems back to normal this morning.

    Hi Rose sorry for the confusion. The site is on its way back to normal. I've posted also under the website issues forum

    Hi Andrew, I realized immediately the site had been hacked. I thought it was all OK this morning but it seems to depend on how I access it. if I try to go in via my bookmark I get the IDIOT'S site but I am allowed to enter the forum when I access the site on the "Reply to Thread" on my email. Sorry you have to deal with this c...p!!!

    Yay, I can finally access the site today! I didn't know all the shortcuts you guys were taking. Heh.

    The site looks updated--nicer. Was that a handy side effect, Andrew? Thanks for all the work you had to do to fix this mess. Big hugs to you!

    Big Thank you Andrew!!!

    I have had problems for months and like Rose opened that stupid email! Deleted my old bookmark and have now 'searched' the forum and created a new one (bookmark). Fingers crossed for a hacking free environment!!

    Thank you Andrew, not being a facebook person, I did not know what was going on. So glad you got it back.
