It says this <script>alert("safa")</script>

It looks just like some kind of javascript to popup a dialog.

Needless to say, you should have HTML etc. disabled on your guestbook/comment forms.

Thanks, Dev

I was paranoid because i know some people myself and my dad fell out with on an another forum, well they hacked my dads site and deleted all e-mails associated with his site.

Only yesterday i went back on the forum for the 1st time since February.

Thought someone was try to edit the source or something.

Ah well college only 4 months away, i'll start learning for myself then

I'll take a look in my editor and guest book settings.
Thanks
