Yep, and I think as you look around, you'll find other browser-dependent formatting errors as well.

I can't say with certainty, but looking over the formatting reports I've submitted, it's looking like they rolled back the site software in time a little bit to give us access while addressing the bigger issue.
 
Yeah, Early, that dev handling is cool; let's us in with a bit of the tinsel hanging, but the party is still on! :) ;) :D


:cool:
 
I haven't seen anyone mention this, thought I should. If you google Phandroid and click on the link, google has blocked the site. It shows up in search results but you cannot get to the site. Even the link preview below the link says its full of malware. Its weird. Even though their malware scan results say they have found nothing in the past 90 days, the site is still blocked. They even checked it today and found nothing. Yet it is still blocked. Just thought I would mention this.

But evidently TVictory found something hidden that ultimately linked to malware.

We're safe now, but have some formatting problems and some continuing false alarms as you've described.

It appears that our site didn't inject malware or hurt anyone directly - it simply had a rogue link that if followed, would've gotten you to a malware site.
 
I have the forum bookmarked when going to the forum I get the messed up formatting I hit home and get the malware warning hit continue anyway go to the main page then forums and all is fine.
 
I also got the notification from chrome on my PC, thought it was odd. I'm using Avast, but maybe I'll install another AV and scan again.
 
It just found 1 thing and it ended up being something I downloaded awhile back. it was a cd key finder thing. So false alarm. I wonder if Google sensed a false positive on phandroid.com.
