Yeah. It is probably a cache issue.

Looks like a document and a quill to me.

I got it too, but the link is the same as the regular "quote" button. In fact, it's the one that I used to reply.

It's frightening; I have no idea if this guy has just hacked my CP or if he's actually hacked my computer.

Well, I'm not seeing it any more, but I was seeing a nude image of Kate Winslet.

Yeah, I can think of a whole lot of naked people I'd rather not see on my computer. But then I can see where it might be tough to explain to the boss...

I'd call it a freak bug rather than a hacker.

LOL yeah that IS weird- But contrary to popular belief hacking (actually Cracking) isnt something where some Nerd somewhere hits a few keys and has instant access to your PC. It takes time effort and some planning- Like Cat and Mouse or Spy vs. Spy....
If you got a pop up of a Nude actress- id run a scan for a basic pop up infection like Vundo. Keeping our computers safe and clean- Especially those of us with kids- is always a priority- and therefor has a LOVELY market to pander to our needs.. Most any RELIABLE Anti-spyware scan (Ewido or Adaware) will uncover advertisment trojans and usually remove them as well.
If you fear a hacker (Cracker) is messing with you- try using a rootkit revealer and Check all your ports.
Good Firewalls and firewall router- Adjusting the security settings on your PC, Good anti-virus and maybe even working behind a proxy will protect you from most junk- YES a Good Cracker can pipe through all this but then- he would need to target you specifically and need a reason to go through the trouble.

Side Note- Ewido has been aquired by AVG- but still the same great product
