Is it just me, or are people getting redirected from forum

[Rileysowner]

Every time I try to access the message forums I end up being redirected to some other site in some foreign language. Have we been hacked? The only way I can stop it is hitting the stop key partway through having the page loaded. That is for all forum stuff even to be able to post this message.

We've been hacked!

I figured. I is getting really annoying.

[thevalleyboy]

very interesting - I am also getting re-directed - what a PITA... I am sure someone will get it sorted out sooner than later

[rlsllc]

AARRGGHHH!!!!!!

This is driving me mental!!

You just have to get really good a getting to the stop button on your browser. It doesn't make it any less annoying though.

[thevalleyboy]

admins - use the stop button at the top of the page - go into the source code and search (find) this line - you guys probably know that

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://dengesizcocuk.org"> This line does not belong....

That is the little devil that is causing problems - I'd delete it if I could - I am sure that is all that is causing problems.

The fix is easy enough, but I'm not sure who has access to be able to change it. Justice most certainly, maybe a few others. No responses so far to the PMs that have been sent.

Very annoying!

Very crappy. and it does seem to be the result of a cracker. but why a simple van website? that is the question. Usually hacks performed on websites like this defame the main page with a hackers tag or something to that effect to get credit for it. This just seems like it's to be annoying. Unless the hosting company got hit then it would make sense.

[Rileysowner]

I'm sure we could make some guesses, but I am hoping for some good evidence in the logs that might allow for the ability to make some complaints somewhere. The change is really minor, but annoying. It certainly doesn't seem like a typical hackers sort of attack. Sort of childish in fact.

Chat still works.

I've learned the trick to. Reminds me of the good old days.

[Rileysowner]

I was tempted to google how to hack this sort of site and see if I could hack in to fix it. I know it is a Sunday and those who have this sort of control are probably busy, but this is getting . . . .

At least the site works, if in an annoying manner.

valleyboy take a look

<option value="25">&nbsp; &nbsp;FORUM STATUS AND NOTICES</option>
<option value="30"><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://dengesizcocuk.org"></option>
<option value="1">&nbsp; &nbsp;NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS</option>

what exactly needs to get axed?

This one:

<option value="30"><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://dengesizcocuk.org"></option>

It redirects the asv.com page to that other one.

[astrozam]

apparently it did nothing, although i believe someone ( dow ) may be working on it
