This has nothing to do with E-Blah, but thought I would point out this nasty experience with a forum I use.
It is a public forum with no need to register to post.

Here's whats happening.
The forum has a stalker and hacker who is making a mess.
Everone is affraid to read any of the threads.
He has been hacking this board on and off for months.
He posts an interesting topic title, then when you open the thread the nightmare begins.
Before the thread finishes loading, all you can here is audio screaming
"I'M LOOKING AT PORN, I'M LOOKING AT PORN" repeatedly
(The site has nothing to do with porn)

(Hopefully your not at work or with relatives in the next room when this happens, although I am sure this is the point)

Then a cascade of windows and programs begin to open on your local machine, like I have never seen before.
I had to kill the power, even task manager wouldn't come up.

What a mess, I feel sorry for the forum owners.

Scarey thought to have someone doing such a thing to your business

I have no details or idea how he does it.

Justin are you aware of how he could have done this?
I'm sure you have made every effort to safeguard Eblah from such things.
But its a scarey thought

Flash/Macromedia.  You can do it, but you'd have to know the flash code .. which isn't a default button anymore ... and can be removed easily.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

LOL
Sorry, seemed unrelated.
I didn't realize Flash could be used like that

Thanks
