Hi everyone,  
So the forums were hacked, as many of you know. This was an XSS exploit caused by an SWF attachment. If any of you have been viewing SWF attachments in the Source/Experiments forum, please delete your cookies and change your password.

SWF attachments have also been disabled. It’s probably for the better 🙂

Cheers!
