The techies are working on it. I'm running malwarebytes and AVG, and all scans clean, although malwarebytes flags that it stopped a threat every now and again. If you choose not to come onto the site though, that is your choice. You can check BE's facebook page for updates

Sorry can't answer that. If you would like further info, you could try asking in site feedback.

Well, perhaps you should be the one asking questions and conveying the answers to a lot of concerned viewers, not just being a jobsworth.. Thank you.

And perhaps you should learn the difference between a moderator and a technical expert.

We have all alerted the relevant techs, who have been working on the issue for some time - as outlined in the announcement at the top of every forum.
