@allonline;

Do NOT click on pop ups, guys. We do not use them, and have never used them. If you get one asking you to log in, is it some loser trying to phish your account details.


DO NOT CLICK ON IT


Alt + f4 should shut it down. Or Ctrl, Alt + Del and shut your browser down.


DO NOT CLICK ON LOG IN POP UPS



Whoever this moron who is targetting us is, they're leaving posts that generate their pop up in threads and profiles. If you find one, use the methods mentioned to shut it down, them report it.

Thank you! :)

So even if you click on it to close it can they hack your account? o.o

Please don't click on the pop up, at all. Even if you think that you're just exiting out or closing your browser, it's best to force a shut down. :yes:

Just clicking on them can screw things up, yep. So always best to use the methods I said, to force a shut down without touching it :yes:

Okay, I won't clock 'cancel' on it anymore.
Hopefully those methods will work~

Erm I was logged out early and had to log back in. This might have happened to me.
Can I change my password and live?

Serenus: Changing your password every so often is a good idea anyway :yes:

All the staff are forced to change their's every 3 months, by the forum software :lol:

I just did but I am still worried. ; - ;

Change it again then :)

Lol okay. <<

k jelly is the announcment bar showing up that says Oi read this click or pain from yall? Its just more vuage than yall usually are >.< And I wanted to be sure. so I can dismiss it if it is for this thread.

I've seen this so many times. I'm happy I'd seen the little note about them a few days ago.

It lead you to this thread, didn't it ;)

Thanks for another announcement! Hope this phisher person bugs off soon. :illgetu:

didnt click it.. ive been paranoid lately >.< Sorry. way back when I lost a lot of very pretty things on another site when I clicked a link I thought was from staff... so I saw it and was like hummmmm is it legit or not O.o but now I know *hides* sorry Jelly :hug:

What if you're on an iPad? Cause that's what I use mostly now...

I think it is awesome that I have yet to come across a pop up ! :lol:
I am glad I saw this a while back just in case I do come across one.
I wonder why someone would try to hack anyways :/ What good does it do? Ugh people these days.

*Hope I didn't jinx myself*

Ivvy:
Aw, bless ya :(

If a hacker could put up a notice we'd be in big trouble, I don't think those are something that could be replicated by a hack though.

The lack of a picture of someone on it may have thrown you, but I didn't want to mess about with niceties as those take time, digging out the code for the picture and the picture itself. So I apologise about that!

Alorrena:

That I can't answer, as I don't have anything like that myself. So I don't know what options you have for forcing pop-ups shut without touching them. Google might be able to help you with that :yes:

thank you jellysunda and Knerd.
i didn't know that you could be in danger by just 'x'ing out of the pop0-ups.
i hope you all find the phisher person.
:illgetu:
it would be much nicer if this person just joined the community.
we are a bunch of giving people, for the most part,
and they would probably be given things they are trying to steal.
O.o
use your powers for good and not ebil!
:twisted:

Alorrena: You're going to need to click the Home button, go to Settings, Safari, and clear your History. You can clear your Cookies and Data from there too. Do not touch anything from the pop-up though. If it pops up, just press the home button and do those steps I stated.

I don't understand people who do that kind of stuff. What do they hope to get out of it?

Ahhmygahd.
Made me worry.
Ok ok. Wishing you all the best Mene Staff.
:heart:

Fun. Seriously, these people get off on other people's pain and trouble. They are no better than bullies that pick on other people for the shere knowledge that they are able to make us feel like this.

i have yet to come across this but if i ever do, i will follow your instructions!
