Board infected?

and it's probably from opening links to other posts. Each visitor to the Wall is assigned a cookie. That's what holds the bookmarks on individual PCs. When you share posts by posting URLs the cookies travel with that. Simplest way to fix this is to delete any forums.invision.net cookies from your PC, clear the cache and logon anew.

    'Reply' autofilling a bad author and email

    When I reply to a post the form is pre-filled with a vulgar author name and a 'mail.ru' email address. Anyone else seeing this?

    Jeez.

    Next time I'll share cupcakes. Thanks for the tip.

    But... doesn't this mean that one of us has an infected PC?

    Just means

    someone in some thread is using a dopey e-mail address as their own. Nothing to worry about.

    Someone Else

    I haven't posted in a while and the name and address really startled me....some really crazy guy.



    Brad, it was yours!! There's some irony in there somewhere.


    EDIT: Tom- I can edit your post too!-Brad

    Even wierder, Tom

    Your name came up and we have not e-mailed in about a year. We have not shared URLs or anything like that. Really odd in that this came up with your name and e-mail address. I already dumped the cookies so am at a loss...
