|
|
For several days now my browser has been blocking pop ups on this site. Today, when I clicked on a photo about slab sides, the main page was taken to a bondage site! DEFINITELY not my thing. Mods, you might want to get tech on this. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

No photo's are hosted on this site. If you clicked on a picture with porn attached it's that hosts server thats infected.
Let us know which thread or picture you are clicking on so the thread can be deleted. |

It appears this problem is with the PostImage site. If you click on one of the photos to look at a larger image the porn stuff appears when you try to close looking at the large image. I will no longer be using PostImage for my photos. I have had this porn stuff pop up several times on several different cars. |

While looking at the TIPS article "Converting to slab side" thread, I clicked on a photo from the old article that had been found. As usual the photo opened in a new page. It did NOT change to porn when I tried to click out, THIS site did while I was looking at the photo. Hence my report of all the blocked popups here. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

I'm not an alarmist, just trying to keep you informed. There IS a virus causing popups on this site. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Okay, I was able to replicate Adam's issue and got a porn pop-up.
It's definitely malware attached to one of the ads on the picture hosting website. It didn't do anything until i thought to shut my ad blocker off and retry.
Then it hit me right in the face. Brought up a dialog box and had me locked up unless i did something with it. I had to ctr-alt-delete and shut off firefox through the task manager to get rid of it.
Then it tried to stay in my memory and reload itself when i re-started firefox. It's definitely a nasty little bastard.
I suggest anyone using that hosting site cease and move your photos asap. |

Funny, although the pop up blocker never came up on postimage it was coming up HERE every time I came to the page. It did not come up this morning. Am I to understand the problem has been ferreted out? _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

It's an infected ad thats probably in a rotation on the image site.
The richard petty autographed car pictures on another thread have it too. |

Well, I informed postimage (for all the good it will do!) of the issue. Told them to expect a mass exodus if it isn't corrected. My main concern is losing this site... AGAIN! Don't let it happen guys. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Believe it or not, they responded, apologized for taking so long and assured me the issue is fixed. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |
