AVR-Chat

G'day all

I have been trying all morning to get onto the forum
but it seems that the forum has been hacked into and
any attempts to look at the forum results in a redirection
to www.y4hoo.net. Anyone else experiencing this?

Regards

John Samperi

Have you tried to go to the forums? That's where the
mayem is. Everything else seems OK.

Here's a solution from comp.arch.embedded where this was first mentioned:

"A quick solution until the issue has been fixed, is to disable "meta
refresh" in your browser.
In IE6 it is found here: Tools - Internet Options - Security - Custom
Level - Miscellaneous - Allow META REFRESH. Then disable it.

I'd guess other browsers have a similar setting somewhere."

It worked when I tried it.

John/Dave,

Some people need to get a life, hacking a microcontroller forum? childish.
I've mailed the AVRFreaks webmaster, just in case no-one else has.

still screwed, it doesn't redirect now, but all I get is a black screen with
some icons and little else.
