What was up with that for the last few days? Can it happen again?

Yes, the front page got replaced by a hacker. The hole they came in should be secured now so it shouldn't happen again. But it's possible. Unfortunately it's just part of life on the internet.

I guess I missed it. I have been on the site just about every day but didn't notice anything different.

I caught it pretty quickly the 2 times it happened. Within a couple of hours, thanks to a member who reported it.
