Javascript code was inserted into several forum pages, probably for the last 1-3 days.

It should be fixed by now but I'll need until tomorrow to get a more detailed picture.

I don't know yet what the purpose of the JS code was but will post more about that later.

If you have no Virus software running I suggest to install one such as http://free.avg.com/ and run it once.

I am sorry for the trouble.

More information later

Nasty feeling, being hacked.

I guess those of us running Macs don't need to worry? I've seen no problems so far.

I came to the site when it was unwell. I was at the time actually watching my traffic as I just tweaked some network settings to help speed.
Nothing new or different came in.
I have also just finished the AVG scan & Windows Defender scan, both were clean.

So far we look clean!

Sorry you had to be violated.

edit: I would advice to update vB to at least 3.8.5

It was an encrpyted line of Javascript calling a file from a remote server, a russian porn site. It seems to be something that tries to use computers for its (email or whatever) spam bot net.

If your virus program doesn't issue an alarm then probably nothing happened. It doesn't appear to be too sophisticated.

This is a bought license and the newest I could get would be 3.8.4. I did however upgrade to the newest version in the 3.7 series. This made the import of the old DB easier and the latest of one 3.X should be just missing features, not security. I also tightened file and directory permissions.
