I have laggged this thread for Staff attention. I understand that you can’t access the blog and do all these things. What I’m posting below is for the benefit of those who use the searchbox in the future.
When we suspect our email address and/or our blog has been hacked we do these things:
Go here > Dashboard > Users > All Users and delete any username you find there that is not authorized to have access to your blog.
Go here and immediately change your password to a very strong password >

Go to your rmail account change your password to a very strong password
Read this section carefully and know if you are posting by phone it was probably your email account that was hacked to gain access to your blog.

ontheflex is the only user on the blog http://ontheflex.wordpress.com/ and you seem to have plenty of access to that account since you just posted here under it.
What makes you think you were hacked?

I’ve just regained access to my account. For the past three days I could log in but not click on anything at all. I could not look at other wordpress sites either. Something strange was happening. That is why I thought I had been hacked. Couldn’t even reply to my own forum thread! One hour ago! Now it’s fine though. Thank you timethief and staff at wordpress. Sincerely. On the Flex.

Look at the front page of the forums: It’s covered in complaints about this issue. It turned out to be an Adblock problem. Not hacking.
