Twice today I've had a new page replace the forum page I'm looking at here. Once on an XP laptop (with current anti-virus and so forth - yes, it's ancient but the 4x3 screen has more height than the 16x9 screens of newer devices and that works better for writing).

It happened again just now on a Windows 10 laptop (current AV, etc).

I'm confident that a URL containing "takeamate" isn't associated with Google Chrome.

Has someone hacked this site?
