When I try to navigate to the forum, I get warnings of dangerous URLs from my AV. I notice that if I click on the MFlenses logo in the top left, it takes me to a page having nothing to do with the forum. This is a sure sign that malicious code has been inserted into the website and that it needs to be looked at and disinfected. The same thing happened to my personal website and finally I had to have it professionally looked at. Please consider.

Clicking on the "logo" which is really an ad for one of Atilla's businesses...

It is not a separate MFLenses logo as such anyway, but part of the entire banner which also contains the hqdesign.hu info on the right hand side.

OK, it seems strange that the logo links to a different and seemingly unrelated website. General practice if for the logo to lead back to the landing page of the site. I get warnings that the site contains dangerous urls. Probably nothing hacked, but certificates not kosher or something

As a former software developer I know that environment can make a huge difference -- I could not hold enough of some programs in mind to develop unless I was in certain places. Interesting your environment changed causing you to notice the strange forum behavior -- while the forum hasn't changed your environment did change?

OK, thanks for the explanation. I see now that the logo is indeed part of his banner at the top. Here is the warning I get from my AV (Bitdefender). It indicates that the site does not encrypt the user password when entered. Further there is a warning about dangerous URLs. Might be worth finding out why this is. Not hacked, but a bit worrying

I use AVG. When AVG warns you about a malicious site you know its true.

I wouldn't recommend that for everyone, but yes, common sense goes a long way to keeping safe. And I agree I have always found AV software suspect itself. I used it for a couple years on my PC, but it was more trouble than it was worth. After switching to Apple MAC I haven't bothered with AV, just use common sense.
This forum isn't 100% safe. But really, just be careful. Only click on links provided by familiar users, and always inspect the URL before clicking on it. If in doubt, don't click on it. So far the spam emails have been hilariously obvious.
But that is by no means a guarantee for safety; personally, I consider any internet-connected computer potentially compromised and use it accordingly, AV or not.
The only strategy for safe internet use would be to ban and prevent all forms of scripting, but that would render the WWW too functional and boring for most.
