    Yup you heard me correctly , has any one ever heard of it before ?

    Well neither did i until it happened to me on another forum a couple of months ago, basically someone / hacker in the past had managed to get all the redirects on a forum to direct to another site. Now to users browsing the site it was completely normal , the only time i noticed was when i used the

    site: yousite.com

    I then saw other sites being listed under my URL, the only way i could find to cure this was to totally uninstall the SEO mod ( for IPB ) upgrade the forum and reinstall a fresh copy of the seo mod.

    Have you ever come across something like this ? There is a google blog about it some where too , ill see if i can dig it out if anyone is interested ?
