I've been seeing this (http://i.imgur.com/ZZ0zX.png) every time I come to the forums lately. Anyone have any idea why?
Me too. I wonder if it could be something as simple as one of the bots having a link to a site with malware in their profile. I'd expect to get a bunch of messages from my internet security program, which I havent been, i if the site was trying to attack my computer or whatever. Then again, I know absolutely nothing about this stuff.
I was about to make a topic about this. My computer has been attacked multiple times before. I sent all the information that my security system had to the admins. They couldn't figure it out, and now this is happening.
Yeah...that's kind of weird. It might just be a false-positive, but...
I haven't been getting anything like that when I come to the Desert. Perhaps it is just the spambots mucking things up?
Does the message imply that it's due to linkage? If so, then...well, crap. If it is just the bots themselves, then...I dunno. I shudder to think what this means for newcomers...that use Chrome, anyway. I'm not getting a similar message in Firefox.
I think I know what the problem is. They were having a similar issue over at North Castle a few weeks ago; to quote Lady Juliet:
Quote from: Lady JulietI'd also like to apologise for anyone having problems accessing North Castle recently - due to a problem at website Rauru's Return many Chrome and FireFox users were getting a message to state there was malware but it wasn't on North Castle, it was simply because I had links to Rauru's Return on several pages - unless you went directly to Rauru's Return there was no problem. I've now removed all the links so things should be okay now!
Looks like exactly the same thing. So all we should have to do is get KP to remove the RR link on the sidebar.
What happened to Rauru's Return, anyway? Why is it getting flagged for malware?
Possibly because it has malware. Or else something's wrong with their Google Links.
Hmm, strange. I don't see how it would only affect other sites and not RR itself, but then again I am computer dumb.
It quite possibly does; it could just be because no one from RR's done any reporting on the matter.
Or they could be terrorists bent on destroying the credibility of other Zelda fan sites. One or the other.
