PSA: a new way for The Bump to suck

hippotree

Apparently there is a spambot or something that has hacked into TB. It goes into posts and makes it so that ANY link you click on that page (a link to another board, or even reply to a post) will take you to some spam site. It's done it on the Photography board and on the PPD board. Maybe elsewhere too, but those are the ones I have seen.

So if you see that believeown has posted in a post, try to avoid it, I guess.

Baby Names board too! I guess if you block the poster, that will help.

Thanks for the heads up, Hippo.

How? It won't change the fact that any link you click on where they posted will take you to a spam site. I'd rather leave them unblocked and be able to see where they posted so I can avoid it.

This post has some info on how to avoid the spammer.

It happened the other night on the Cloth Diaper board too. The SN was SHCK or something similar to that.

It's all over the nest, too.
