Everytime I click on the link above for all the different sections of the forum it takes me to a site called crazy soldiers???? Is this happening to anyone else or do I have a virus or something?

Yea it just happened to me too! I don't know what is happening. i got on ok initially and was reading posts etc and then when I tried to open another window-lapbandtalk so that I could do something else whilst updating my signature it kept on taking me to the same site!!! Bizarre!

I think it has something to do with one of the posts... Click on "new posts" it is a weird jumbled title (I wouldn't click on the thread though)

I think its somebody who got banned playing funny buggers. Sigh.

So, someone has hacked the site?

yea probably.

Some people just revel in being destructive dont they?

Whenever I type in http://www.lapbandtalk.com into my browser it also automatically redirects me to that same strange site. Hmmmmm what a nuisence!

I thought it was my computer! I finally got back in through history. What a pain. I would hate to think it was someone that used to care about LBT that would be so malicious. I'm just going to think it is some random hacker. I really feel for those who have been banned. I think things just spiralled out of control for all those involved. As a newbie, this has been such a valuable site. I don't know if I would be getting banded this month if it wasn't for all the things I learned here. I't hard to imagine that a banned person would want to take this site away from those of us that really need it and use it to talk and learn about the band.

It would be really hard to know who it was.

It may just have been a 13 year old kid hacking for fun. I just think it's best not to go "pointing fingers" at anyone.

Totally of the subject I posted...Sammee, the weight in just dropping. You are going to be underweight shortly!!

In all seriousness you are a model bandster and pretty much one of the most successful I know. You are an inspiration and yes I am extremely jealous of you :)

Hugs

I notified Mr. Alex on this problem.

Don't hate me because I am beautiful, LMAO

Thank you, I am not sure if I really am that successful, but thank you! I am really trying to put the brakes on this weight loss thing, and have already had a teeny unfill, but think I will have to go back for another. I am not exercising yet (3 weeks pot op TT tomorrow, and I am not to exercise till 4 weeks), eating the same as I did pre op TT, and still dropping weight.

I am a little worried that I will end up underweight too. I am a size 8 - 10 right now, and am wearing a size 6 bra (well, an 8 that the bra shop I go to alter for me) A size 6 FF is as hard to get as a 28HH. I tell ya' I can't win for losing!

It's likely that it was a case of DNS cashe poisoning. hmmmm, mayby Xsite postings. I didn't witness the behaviour, but from the description, that's what it sounds like to me.

I seriously doubt that anyone what was recently banded has the capability to pull those off.

my bet is that it was a co-incidence, not a disgruntled thing.

Hope so, makes yoiu feel VERY unsafe.
