Do not open Kakao link just above this forum in the header! May contain virous.
Plus, it gives a long very loud note sound that scared the crap out of me.

I've seen this before and never click on the OK button. Just close the tab.

Pleas, get rid of or fix the link that may got highjacked.

Every time I click on that link, I get redirected to some other site, and it's a different (apparently random) site every time. A couple times I went to Bing, once to Macy's, and a couple times to sites I did not recognize. None of them had anything to do with F@H stats.

Also, the site at the WIKI link (fahwiki.net) looks like a generic tech news site that is infrequently updated; I see no F@H content there.

Yes, those two 3rd party site have been abandoned by their maintainers a log time ago ... the domains have probably been hijacked when they didn't get renewed.

I don't have access to the forum files, but someone may eventually edit the header file to remove these links.

The headers were modified a while ago, but the changes didn't stick. That eventually will be fixed, but higher priority is learning enough about the upgrade process to move to a current version of the forum software.
