Is anyone else being redirected to url123.info/55489931 when they visit the chrons for the first time after clearing cookies etc. My works browser (IE8) clears cookies every time and it closes and, starting yesterday, I was redirected to the above url after clicking through from google. Didnt happen again for the rest of the day, but it just happened this morning. Tried it on firefox which I don't normally use at work and the same thing happened.

I'm concerned that this could be a sign that the website has been hacked somehow....

Yes, sorry about that - it's a small hack that redirects traffic coming in from Google, but otherwise has no effect on the forums.

I've just written up about it on another site, here:

If you can, try a different browser, one you don't normally use

[Gary Compton]

Normally use Chrome. Tried Firefox and again, no probs.

I've been getting it on the computer at work and on my mobile. Kept meaning to mention it! Glad I'm not the only one.

I got it again after I thought I'd cleaned up, so I did it again - however, I've also now signed up with a security monitoring service, which is going to scan the server and remove any backdoors, make everything more secure, and then place chronicles under regular security monitoring.
