IIRC you are using one of the new releases of the phpBB software, it's possible that it's got some security holes in it and someone has used one of these to redirect your site.
It might be worth having a google around to see if it's a known problem and possibly taking your forums offline until you find the fix.

If I deactivate mysql and cgi will that take site off line and also clear mysql database when reactivated.
I'll then start again.

On the cshell server, delete the entire phpBB directory.
In phpMyAdmin delete all the phpBB tables.
Edit: Then get a new password as Bob suggested

Were you using the latest release candidate of phpBB3 or was it an earlier one? I'm tempted to try this on my ccgi space.

Quote from: Chris Hi nadger,

Hi Chris
I'd upgraded to RC4 and was using a style called Vista.
Now installed RC4 and put Oasis on as a style.
I liked Vista but not sure how link was highjacked but googling indicates it wasn't one off by hacker.
