Has the forum been hijacked ?

[Vipersan]

Hi friends ..
Currently posting this using Firefox ..
Not sure if its just me ..or if the forum has been hijacked ..
I normally use IE when at work ..but when accessing the forum ..I can get to the main page ok ..but selecting anyof the sub catagory forums ..results in me automatically being routed back to the front page endlessly ..
and IE shows Komkoo as the director ..and garbage in the address box at the top
See the attached image ..
I tried the TV engineer forum I'm a member of.. before posting this ...but that was ok ..
Now wondering whats going on ..
Firefox appears unaffected..

It could be something affecting only my computer ..which is why I need confirmation before investigating further.

Not aware of any problems, VS (Using Firefox with NoScript and AdBlock Plus)

I''ll try turning off various Add-Ons and also try IE9 for you.

Using Chrome without issues here. Sounds like something odd in your browser.

It's OK here, sending this via IE8 but it looked normal in my usual Firefox 12 too.

IE9 in AddOns Disabled mode ................. fast loading & no interlopers.

 

[Lazarus]

Firefox with no AddOns enabled also absolutely fine.

Thanks for checking guys ..
I'll try IE when I get home ..
Just to see if its IE at work ...or possibly crossed wires on my ISPs Domain Name server.

Cookies and cache need clearing down probably VS

All ok here on Chrome

 

[Vipersan]

I'll make that my next job Topper..
Just scanned the PC ..(quick scan) with microsoft security essentials ..
Nothing found to worry about ..
I am running an old version of IE here (version 7) ..
That may be a problem..
but more likely a rogue cookie..
I'll report back on IE if clearing cookies cures the problem.

No problem for me with IE8 either, VS.

I also modified your screen grab for security reasons.

 

[Vipersan]

Thanks Paul ..appreciated ..
Also just cleared the cookies an temp files ..
No different..
Not purged the cache yet..

Odd that this forum is the only one affected ..
I'm thinking a DNS error with my ISP ..pipex..
I'll keep my eye on this one.
Who the hell is Komkoo anyway ?
I'll try a search on it.

...Well the problem is now solved ..
Had to upgrade to IE8..
That fixed it ..
I just hope IE8 still works with my Zeus engine ..or I can no longer open certain schematics ..
Will try tomorrow ..
Time to shut up shop now ..
