What just happened?

[GranTurismo916]

I refreshed GTP, and this is what I saw.

More....

And there's more..

On the top one there's these words and phrases:
"hidden" 2 times
"who cares"
"GTP Fanatial-ton"
"Powsing Quick Repl -"
"PleaseWwait"

Looks like something simply didn't load correctly.

That is very strange. The "who cares" and "hidden" are normal in the page's source code, but it looks like something has changed or deleted other characters. What browser are you using? What plugins or extensions do you have installed?

I'm using Google Chrome. I have these installed:

GTP News
Avast WebRep
AdBlock Plus
Privacy SafeGuard

EDIT:
I also have Java.

I suspect one of them may be at fault, but cannot say for sure. It's only happened one time, correct? What page were loading when this occurred?

Yes, it only happened one time. I was loading watermelonpunch's 1-on-1 race thread in the Clubs category.

Edit-
Link, page 2.

OK. Unless you can re-create the issue it will be difficult to trace what actually happened, but I don't think it's anything for you to be too concerned about at this time. I would advise you, however, to research those "security" extensions you have installed (specifically, "Privacy SafeGuard") to make sure they are legitimate and necessary.

I had this a couple of times in the past too, but a refresh usually solves the issue.

Ok, I'll definitely do that. Thanks for answering my question! 👍
