Heads up. Some users are reporting getting AV warnings from the forum.

Just thought I'd let the CH know that some folks upstairs are having their AVs triggered by some JS thingie seemingly emanating from our beloved forum.

    So even anti-virus software can tell that the forum software stinks?

    Does seem like it's probably a false alert from some javascript doohickey that makes the forum extra glittery or something but Bob's post about finding some critters was a little worrisome. However those may be unrelated.

    I've thought for years that the upper floors were a virus.  I virtually tag them with a bio-hazard cymbal.
     
    It goes all crash in the loudspeaker.
     
    (Good boy!)

    I'm surprised that only the AV's have been triggered.........
     
     
     
    Yup, that FSF is on it's way to taking over the internet.

    I try to stay neutral in the upstairs/downstairs thing. I'm just a lowly Beep.
