Battleforums.com doesnt open

Most of the time when I try to open Battleforums my browser opens a file called xxx.php (probably battleforums.php).
I cant open the file manually and when I open it with notepad it is a file with unknown characters, not html/php tags.
Is this a problem with my browser or with the server?

Hmm, there's not a problem with me...

What's your browser?

And if you are typing battleforums.com because you are lazy to write the whole http://www., then you can simply write battleforums and hit ctrl + enter.

With 'xxx' in your URL you might have spyware - go to http://www.safer-networking.de and download Spybot Search & Destroy, and run.

Also, in IE, go to View > Encoding > More > Western European (Windows) and see if it helps.

hmm the website works now (maybe because of the changes in the script)
but few days ago I got a popup which allowed me to download a file called "forumview.php" (as if I was saving a file -for example zip).
When I open the forumview.php in notepad/IE it occurs it's not php code, but some ascii garbage.

Apparently, if you are behind a proxy, this might happen, asking for a download.
