Okay, so hopefully the data is all back to normal now after the hack. They must have done some SQL injection that got past my filters (block list) which added their dodgy url to all text fields. Reversing the process was simple enough for the tech guy I got onto it. We've also beefed up the list of blocked text, but if anyone out there is a security expert and can recommend a list of there own please chime in.

I was off at Kosciuszko and had a stressful session of emails and texts trying to get it sorted. Worst time to pick. Or best - clever crims.

On the issue of blank pages, I've tracked that down to some incorrect html in Rock Hardware's product descriptions, which I've fixed. (Steve please be more careful).

I also noticed the google ads where throwing javascript errors sometimes, so I've changed to their latest code snippet on the main pages (don't have time to edit them all). I see google is now sending us some even weirder ads then before as a result, so at least that will be entertaining.
