Help! Is DU being hacked, or my computer?

[snot]

When I'm in Greatest or some other pages, and try to click on the icons for Latest, Greatest, Lobby, Journals, My DU, etc, I'm getting re-directed to pages outside of DU. Just now, Latest and Greatest are taking me to ; then Lobby and Journals get me nowhere; then My DU takes me to http://securingamerica.com/ . Earlier today, most of the same icons were taking me to http://www.thetonyshow.com/ .

The problem seems to come and go -- just tried again, and Latest takes me nowhere, Greatest works fine, but Lobby takes me to the Wikipedia entry on "Irony".

I've never been to these sites before. Anyone else having these problems? I've tried re-booting etc., and I have a Mac and virus protection so am not particularly vulnerable to infection at home.

1. I'm having no problems at all

I clicked on all the icons, and each one took me where it should. So, I'm guessing it's a problem with your computer...a really creepy problem with your computer.

Sorry!

2. I suspect you have spyware of some sort.

A virus, spyware, and adware scan is probably a good idea right now.

3. is your mouse filled with crud?

4. That wouldn't change the URLs in the links he's clicking.

5. You're using Safari, aren't you?

Several of us have been having those problems for a couple of days.

The wiki entry was from one of the stickies. I got the Tony Show and some football site, too, but I don't know where those came from.

Different versions of Safari seem to be having the same problem, too.

EDIT: I just looked at the Big Board, and the securingamerica site is from a sticky urging Clark to run. The Tony Show one is one of calimary's. Don't know why it's happening, though. The four leftmost icons aren't working at all right now for me.

6. Nail on head -- I have no problem in Firefox or explorer. And

Same buttons not working for me now, either.

I think I'm relieved . . . but pls let me know if you hear it's not a DU site glitch.

7. Will do.

I guess it's time to PM elad.

If My DU works anytime soon, I'll let you know what's up.

11. "The Lobby takes me to the Wikipedia entry on "Irony"."

Wow, that's random... I'd guess computer virus... :shrug:

12. I click on the Lobby and nothing happens.

It doesn't take me anywhere. I have to click on Home to go to another forum.

13. "Latest" "Greatest" and "Lobby" do seem to be non-links

in the little icon bar below the stickies, those three icons do not appear to be links, nor is the text below them... weird.

Those links work from http://journals.democraticunderground.com/ but they do appear to be working randomly depending on the page.

on edit: I'm using Safari, too
