Upgraded forums - please report anything weird!

Blatboom, i would check your system for viruses.
That 'code' you pasted did not come from this server.

At least, large chunks of it didn't.

I used the 'code' tag so that people do not click the suspect links...

well, I'm not the only one who has had the problem.  and it's happening on both my work computer and home laptop.


edit:  although not since Saturday I don't think...

2nd edit:  I know what you mean about the top spammy-looking stuff at the top, but what I pasted is probably 2% of the entire code that pops up, and if you look at what's at the bottom, it's definitely Paug code.

I've gotten it twice today here at work.  Got it yesterday at home.  And when I look at the code, it seems to have spam links in it every time.  Almost like banner ads, which this site doesn't have.

this sounds like you guys have some malware on your systems.  If it is happening to multiple people here, then perhaps someone infected with it spread it to others somehow through links or uploads here

any freeware programs I can run to check?


edit:  it just happened again  :oops:

[Hicks]

Oh no, it's happening to me now too! 

[blatboom]

Oh no, it's happening to me now too! 

the avatars or the code?

heh, well obviously the avatar issue, but I just started getting the code thing too, although it seems to have stopped for the moment.

The code thing seems to be pretty random.  Happens about once every 50 clicks or so.

No lines of code, but now everybody's avatar seems to be missing. Man this is weird.

I'm hotlinking mine now so the Avatar demon can't steal it.

Clearly some maintenance is due.

Those of you who are getting the codepages, are you seeing the bizarre spam-like content in the code akin to what blatboom posted?
