I think it only did it if you did a "save as" on the thread.
It saved the html file, and created a folder to hold the images, javascripts etc. The files were in that folder. I used to save the 'printable' versions of the file. But when you look at the printable versions now, the images aren't there  |

FYI
[QUOTE]savewave; I checked with the tech folks at IB and was told this is not a malicious script or virus, but rather a plug-in used to track links to sites that place advertising on Corvetteforum. :cheers:[/QUOTE] |

Yup - deliberate targeting, of sorts... Quote: I think someone targeted you. You have to deliberately attach scripts to a target; it cannot happen randomly to just one UNIX/LINUX OS I'm pretty sure. Before you click on a page that smells like  do a right click. View page source, and see what's there. You'll be surprised. It's like watchin' meatpackers make a hot dog. And if you like hot dogs, DON'T DO IT. And if you don't, DON'T DO IT IN WINDOWS!!! |
