This has been fixed, as far as I know. We still have not totally gone over every file, but we will.
We resubmitted and are waiting for Google to unflag our site.
We are still going to do some upgrading also in a few days.
The admin will drop a note about all this. All I can say this all occurred at the same time during the ECMs intensified a couple of weeks ago. Since Google checks on complaints, I wonder who the complainers were (??) Seems funny the timing of all this coincided with a new barage of ECMs a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, the site will back to normal next week.
Our apologies to everyone who went through the warnings. You probably found the site worked fine, and the files were fine during this time. There was just a redirect problem on an index file. We will also figure out how it was changed as well.

I completely agree with you WC, as I am on the site so much, I noticed the problems started around the barage of ECMs, not only that, but a link that was posted on one thread and was reported by the op of that thread as not working encouraged participants to click on it and test it, when I did I received a virus with a false windows warning advising I had received a threat/malware. It entered every part of my laptop and I had to take rapid action to wipe it. Spyder was very quick in correcting this link. It was that ops first and only post and he had just registered, he has never returned.
I, like others had the redirect problem, but it happened again today, when I tried to change pages on the forum and other little irritating occurrences. I dont believe this is all coincidence. This is being done by people that know what they are doing. I dont consider it coincidence that my Ladybbird email account was hacked during this period, it had the same password on there that I used to access this site. This has now been changed on my email account by my server, but the hacker had changed my password on that account so I couldnt have access and the server put this right. Maybe they choose me because I defend the site so much, or that I refused the offers by pm to join other sites not doing so well.
I am glad during this busy period again you had time to work on this. Thank you muchly.
