Messages Glitch

I logged in and at the top of the page it said that I had 3 messages. I clicked on it and got a this writing:

ll, url: null, init : function(key, url) { Survey.key = key; Survey.url = url; }, done : function() { Survey.take(); }, cancel : function() { Survey.take(); }, take: function() { setCookie(Survey.key, 'done', 365*2); }, didTake: function() { if(readCookie(Survey.key)) { return true; } return false; }, open : function() { window.open(Survey.url); Survey.hide(); }, hide : function() { Survey.take(); TINY.box.hide(); }, show : function() { if(Survey.didTake()) { return false; } var htmlText = '
Do you want to take a survey?

'; TINY.box.show( { html : htmlText, boxid : 'frameless', fixed : false, maskid : 'bluemask', maskopacity : 40, width: 240, height: 65, closejs : function() { Survey.cancel() } }); } }

on a white background. Please explain.

I get that again. In the website bar at the top it says mit.edu

It also doesn't let me take screenshots.

I am using Windows 7 and Google Chrome. When I re-opened the browser the problem was still there. When I tried a third time the problem had been rectified.

My first thought was that someone had hacked the Scratch website but you are probably right with that explanation. Thanks.
