Some sad pre-pubescent milksop has been hacking a lot of sites on my server. Don't worry too much about it as Joey is on the case. For info here is the email he sent me this am:
At just before 11am today, an unknown "script-kiddie" managed to hack into my web server and deface about 20 websites (about 40% of the total hosted here). The damage was minimal - when you try to view your website, you get a page that says "Cyberlord".
I am in the process now of restoring the index.html for everybody's site, from a backup that was taken just yesterday. If you made any changes to your index.html in the past 24 hours, those changes could be lost when I restore your file (which will hopefully be in the next 15 minutes or so).
If you view your page now and find it has been defaced, and if you view it with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, be aware that after I restore your original file, you may not be able to view it even if you click REFRESH or RELOAD. You may need to reboot your PC to see the restored version. (To verify restoration, login with your FTP account and look in your directory.)
I'm not sure exactly how this idiot got in, except that I'm QUITE sure he didn't hack one of your user accounts and get in via FTP - because he also defaced two websites that are not accessible via FTP.
Joey

There hasn't been any change to the forum link page since it was first put up. The link does ask your browser to "open link in a new window" so I would guess you may have your security settings too high or you have a pop-up stopper that is blocking it from opening. Personally I would save another link to your favourites as soon as you enter the forum at: dubsounds.proboards34.comLet us know how you get on
