This started happening just this morning when I was checking my e-mail alerts. I loaded a few FAC pages just fine, then after the third or so, all I get is what I've put in the attachment.

Did a DNS somewhere between me and FAC get hacked or something? I dunno... the alternate FAC URL's (www.fanartcentral.net and fanartcentral.net) work just fine on the main site, so at least it wasn't a total waste of time... unfortunately the forums rely absolutely on www.fanart-central.net references.

I did some pinging and determined that the server "posing" itself as FAC is 67.15.35.19 .

In the meantime, I wrote FAC's actual IP into my hosts file (heheh Wink), and that seems to have bested the problem for now.

But any idea what happened?

Thats happened to me before, on a different site. sometimes they get hacked, and on occaison, the URL confuses the computer, and rewrites some HTML. but thats pretty rare, and only lasts a few minutes at the most. hope that answers your question!
