I had the same problem for a week or so and contacted Josh. The site was hacked and repaired fairly rapidly. If you clear your cache the problem goes away.
Bizzare redirection
Site Feedback and News
I was wondering if anyone knows why, when go to the main forum page (ie hostelmanagemnet.com/forum) I get redireced to a anonymous hackers anti capitalist site (jforjustice.com or something) site. This only happens when I am logged in. If I start private browsing it seems to work fine. I thought the site had been hacked, but now I realise that it's jsut me. Any ideas? I can go directly to the sub forum pages fine.

Very sorry about that. The forum was hacked, but I stopped them right as they were locking me out. They put the redirect there just as I was deleting the website to stop them. Then I had it restored it from a backup. But the hosting company restored a hacked version in the middle of the night here, so the redirect was there for a while when I was sleeping.
If you visited the site during that time, the redirect probably got stored in your browser cache, like Plakian mentioned.
Sorry... it's this forum software. I want to migrate it to something more solid soon...

No problem at all -- could happen to anyone - and does. Glad you were able to get it sorted out quickly.
