    I was at work surfing PriusChat and got a window that new security measures required me to answer questions. I could not get on the board and I was not posting just reading. Has my PC (reads Windoz box) been hacked? I logged off logged on same thing. The profiles were requesting birth date info and country. I am not sure if that was there before and I left it blank when I first registered. Never could get things to work. It looked like an official PC page. Have we been hacked? I am not finding it at home. As many of you know I am basically a Mac user. I only use the Windows box at work because they beat me if I don't ( not to mention stop paying me!) What gives. Anyone else?

    I had the same problem with PriusChat about 2pm Pacific, went to PriusOnline and got a page that said thet there were no forums.
    Went back to PriusChat later and it was OK.

    I am on XP with MS explorer so it's not your system.

    I also had problems this afternoon while at work(EST).Was going slow then blank page. We have T-1 line at work and I have network at my bench and plug in my laptop there. I use Win98SE and had Firefox browser up.Tried to go back in,nothing. Typed in www.priuschat.com and I got a page that Danny was doing cache work on site. So I didn't try till tonight. I also thought we were hacked :x

    I would guess 2:15 to 2:24 I got out of surgery at 1:45 and drove to the office. It was very strange. By the time I got home nothing but on a different system.

    Sorry about any confusion - I was looking to put into place new security measures yesterday, but wasn't able to complete everything. I'll look to install them soon, though, and I'll provide instructions for everyone then.

    Given what has been going on here and at PriusOnline I was worried that something had happened. Glad we are OK

    Wouldn't HummerChat be more like a mumble?
