No problem :)
Yes, it is very depressing. It's horrible how people just want to hack into people's computers...

this is terrible. an invisionfree forum i was on recently got hacked too =/ but yeah, a lot of communities on my f-list just posted info about this up. i'll do the same to make sure other people's communities and accounts aren't hacked - if we can stop it!

Does it only happen to popular communities? Just wondering.
