I can no longer select any tips in the knowledge base ???
Unless Basil has made some changes, I think I found some damage from the hacker(s)
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/spam.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/spam.gif that needs to be /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif
More strange behavior... I was checking to see if I could still display Dave's OD wiring diagram from his post, after I displayed it, I got a request about which media player to use for a file that was about to play. I picked one and then heard a few bars of Srgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band !!!! I think I will log off of the forum and then update/run; Adaware, spybot, and do a norton scan for viruses.
 
Looks like you are correct. I can't access the tips either.

Well ED_K, I thought my computer had died!. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cryin.gif I was getting nothing but "FATAL ERRORS" displayed each time I tried to access the forum.However, when it came back to life I experienced no additional problems.---Keoke
 
Norton didn't find anything either. Whatever it is, it does not seem to be on my laptop. But something has happened to the BCF website. Did anyone else but me notice how bad the response time was over last weekend ? It was so bad last weekend that I had to close my browser several times while viewing BCF because it appeared to just " hang " after waiting for several minutes. Then I just quit because it happened again and again.
 
Yes ED_K I had the same experience I even shifted browsers and it did not make any difference. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif--Keoke-
 
Now I can view the knowledge base articles again ? I hope that is because Basil found and fixed something and not just " random " behaviour.

I don't know for sure but I think Basil was so mad he almost skirted the rules.--Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

Yes, the hacker did a lot of damage. I've been up all night (its now almost 2AM) trying to fix it all.

Sorry for the late night Basil but thank you VERY much for your long hours.
