Porn link

Hi,

 

Suddenly I have noticed at the top of the page a photo of a reclining woman. I just noticed it when I accidently clicked on this image and was sent to a porn site. I haven’t seen this before. Is it me or has something changed? I can block it with an ad blocker, but every time a page refreshes the image briefly displays. Very annoying.

Yes, I noticed this image flash up briefly this morning as well, so not on your end.

Same here :(

I was too slow to see it if it got to me.

 

When anything like this happened in past it was usually malign "outside agitators"

 

There once, long ago, was a flood of Korean (I think it was) content that intruded.

 

I have my own browser screwed down pretty tightly, so only rarely see any ads at all. I figure that sites that don't like my privacy measures are not sites that I want to see anyhow

I very much doubt it is a business arrangement - the lack of response is most likely due to the week end.

I guess ad revenue is ad revenue. Maybe we should make them put all the images in the "critique" function..........

Whoa, that's super weird. I just saw it flash up as well.

The image has a .ru address. Grrr... I do not need this headache right now!

Investigating, locking thread until I have more info or remediation.

It's gone now?

I think it was a poisoned google ad included in the forum template.

It's gone now?

Yes, as far as I have tested it.

 

It does NOT appear, even for an instant, after various logons/refresh screen/ and various other procedures to open Photo.net and investigation of the web page info on various browsers that I use.

It's gone now?

Yes, as far as I have tested it.

Also gone is the main PN banner at the very top of the page, the one that gave us access to the EXPLORE TAB (where we could access the galleries of the site) and the LEARNING TAB.

This is the banner that, up until now, would have appeared at the top of every page, including the very page we're on now. I can now only find it on the home page.

 

Thank you, samstevens. When I looked this morning (my time), something "looked odd" - but for the life of me I didn't know what it was.

 

That banner/header, is very important and exceptionally useful.

Thanks, @samstevens - it wasn't obvious to me that the template I changed would also do something to the top header, it appeared to only affect what is now a grey box next to the forum icon. (You can get back to the main controls by removing the /discuss from the URL as a workaround until I restore the old JS/CSS.)

Ok, back on this again today. I discovered lots of obsolete pointers to dead ad banners from years ago in the templates, so I'm trying to unwind those back to the defaults. (If you see an ugly brightly colored rectangle pop up somewhere on the site today, it's probably me trying to identify which part of the page the template snippet applies to. We no longer have a working sandbox/staging environment for me to mess with unfortunately.)
