I just had an odd occurrence... [View all]

[Think. Again.]

I hit "reply" to post on this thread...

https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=19519445

When the Reply Text box came up, it was noticably different than the usual reply text box in 2 ways, the gray background text said "Reply Text" instead of the usual "Title is Required" and the text input box did not have the usual control bar for bold, italic, etc.

I posted my response anyway thinking it was just a change the admins made for the election period or something.

As soon as I posted, my post got an immediate response from a troll which has now been removed.

My concern is that somehow my reply function was hijacked? I just don't know enough about hacking to understand if this is an important thing to look into, but I thought I should bring it to everyone's attention.

Edit to add: there's more..

After posting the "highjacked" reply and seeing the troll response, I tried to sign out and could not, the buttons up top did not work, so I closed my browser and rebooted my phone and now everything seems back to normal.
