Checked the Gmcmhforum.com just now and got redirected to some weird site plus my browser icon just flipped too.

Just a FYI

Interesting. The bookmark link in my own browser was compromised. This happened after I cleared my cache. Will investigate further, apologies for the
alarms!!

Larry,

Alerts are always welcome. Maybe you did mid-key and maybe it was real.

Something went wrong. I had a similar problem. I have links saved in my address bar on google Chrome. And whenever I clicked it took me to a gambling
site. I thought it would come good when someone realised but after a week it was still sending me to the wrong site. So I deleted the link

Yes, I used the same link on the Firefox toolbar I'd always used. Yesterday worked properly. Last night I cleared the cache. This morning the link
took me to the gambling site. When I closed the tab, the icon on the toolbar changed to reflect the gambling site. I deleted the saved link and
re-added the correct one. All good again.

I remember that change too ...vaguely!

anyway checked the site notices this morning and yes ...

2/15/21

Primary domain name changed from gmcmhforum.com to gmcmotorhome.org. The old domain will remain valid for now but will redirect to
gmcmotorhome.org (to test, you may need to clear your browser's cache and cookies).
GMC Motorhome icon in upper left corner updated.
Favicon updated.



That's no doubt some of the reason my link did what it did ...I don't clear the cache too often I guess!!!
