You guys.. I just got a PM from Barb (Traco) on Simply Discus and this is what she said:

Hi Amber. Have you been into AfricanCichlid's forum today?
I briefly get the forum menu up and then it goes to another website.
Says:

Hacked by DerinPort & YENICERILER.
We are Turn Hackers.
I also have the address but I'm thinking don't click on it in case it is a virus.

www.derin.com/timindex/yeniceri/htm

Can you let the forum know about this. I don't know if I'm the only one.
What a day!

Thanks, Amber.

Ok.. and here is some more strangeness... I posted a reply to Heather and Steph earlier to my random pics thread... and now my reply is gone....

Yeah, I got the same message too. My morning posts also disappeared, I had to rewrite them when the forum came back up. I'm thinking the reason we lost our morning posts is because whoever administers the forum probably had to restore from yesterday's back-up.

That is correct.. this is why we back up files

Sometimes random things happen on forums... but thankfully pretty rarely.
The loss of the posts is an unfortunate side effect of getting ACF back on track.

Thanks for the links Fin...

For a minute after I see the stupid hacking website I thought for sure that terrorists have now decided to switch to bombing websites instead
