Either yesterday or the day before I noticed that posts for different boards were opening up in different windows instead of reusing one window. Then jay says that a page has a missing image file. Anybody else have any issues like this with the site in the past few days? It feels like somebody is attempting to mess with the code of the site. Then somebody on a new duplicate account asks for HTML in posts? Only reason you would ask to have HTML in a forum is to attempt to hack either the forum itself or the people using the forum.

Oh no, I'm scared. Last time the site was hacked, someone posted something weird. I think it had to do with HTML or something.

I'm not aware of any hacking or attempted hacking. Sometimes a post opens in a different window because the site's designed to work with frames. If you can reproduce odd behavior, please let me know. Thanks,
Bob

No. I doubt there is hacking going on here, its probably my setup of Firefox even though I cleared it of everything, who knows, something might be wrong.
I can see the + picture, I just cant see the - picture, it has something to do with the javascript in the page, I can tell, I've tested the images other ways.
But I am curious about why there are requests for googlesyndication -- was there any time when ads were thought of or is this a result of the server you're hosting it on, Bob ?

Don't be scared, it's most likely nothing. It's just some little things that added up that didn't feel right.

What was happening is normally I have several tabs open for different forums but each forum post opens up in the same tab. Yesterday each forum was opening up a separate tab for posts in that forum. I can't reproduce it now though so it was probably browser weirdness on my end. But this and the odd request for HTML in posts threw up a red flag.
