You are using quite an old version 8.03 and sounds like someone has posted some XSS code (Cross Site Scriptig) within their post to redirect to another site.

Most XSS attacks work on vulnerbilities in Internet Explorer. To prevent users becomming victims of such attacks monthly security audits are done for new XSS hacking tecniques and new XSS vulnerbiliies found in web browsers. If any issues are found new versions of Web Wiz Forums are released to protect against such vulnerbilities, like latest version 9.06 released yesterday.

To prevent this type of vulnerbility make sure you ar running the latest version, which at present is 9.06

Sorry to anwser your question on how to emove the post. Most attacks use vulnerbilities in IE, you should be able to remove the post by using Firefox.
