Forum Hacked?

I keep getting redirected to something like "filestorage72" or something like that. This happens when:

I do a search for north american motoring and then click on the link in my search results. I would book mark the site but not on my machine at work.

Anyone else? The searches I did on it say it's a backdoor hack to the forum.

Yes, it's happened to me a few times. There's an issue somewhere that I hope the forum administrators are looking into.

Same thing happens to me when I do a google search for north american motoring and then click on the search result link. I just hit the back button, click on the link a second time and it takes me directly to the north american motoring site. Annoying.

I don't understand why people don't set up their favorites so that web surfing becomes quicker and easier?

CTRL D people. For you Mac users, I hope it falls of your desk.

I had it happen 3 or 4 times today when using goole to search. If I back out and click it again it works. I thought I got a bad app or virus on my phone

We do have them set up as favorites. It only happens when I go from my email notifications.

Moved to Site Feedback. The tech team has been notified so they can examine it. I managed to reproduce it once with google and then it's been working normal for me. I almost always log onto NAM via bookmarks.

For the great Mac v PC debates I refer you to OT, specifically this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-mac-v-pc.html

Update: the Tech team is currently fixing the issue, should be resolved shortly.
