Anyone Get a Pop-Up Here Today?

[BorderCollieMom]

I just got a 10 second pop-up asking me to agree w/ terms...what is this ? I looked around, didnt see anything.

[Pashie]

I got one too! I thought I was in trouble! LOL

I have not gotten it since that one time though.

[mrsmcgoo]

I got it....glad to see I wasn't alone to be honest. :laugh:

[Pashie]

I got it....glad to see I wasn't alone to be honest. :laugh:

:laugh: Me too... I thought uh-oh! What did I do?!

[bearwds]

**********************************

Looks like a standard "agree to" stipulation.

Goes in your permanent file.

Yep..got one just now when I started to post on the food thread..

[W_D_1]

Yeah I got one while posting about Haleigh Cummings.

[Moondust]

Whew...what a relief...I replied to CW wanting to know why I needed to agree to not spamming in PMs and posting in other languages...I was really skeered....:scared: I havn't broke either of those rules....am so relieved to know it wasn't just me...:thumbup:

Yes, I got one but mine was for 20 seconds.

:mellow:

[KatieLady]

Oh thank God! I thought I was the only one and was afraid to ask LOL

[BorderCollieMom]

Ok then. I had that "Uh Oh" moment too...then I tried to beat to clock thinking if I didnt hit AGREE by 0.00 seconds , I would be locked out or something...when I did click it, I got that microsoft BONG noise...couldnt "agree" until the time was up.

Then I thought maybe the boards were hacked....

Glad Im not the only one. Usually we know when something like this is gonna happen.

[annalyzer]

I got it when I started to post here. No problem for me. I only know English. :laugh:

[Shells2]

I got one too! That was really weird...

The "Don't spam/abuse any other member via e-mail or Private Messages" kind of confused me. So we can spam/abuse members on the board, but just not in PM's or email? :tongueside:

Ohh boy...I really hope it wasn't a hacking for our personal info...:unsure:


I agreed and can't recall whether or not I got that bong noise.


I only know English too...also no clue as to how to spam PMs...:shrug:

HAHAHA!!! I didn't even notice that! I just skimmed it, and assumed that it said on the boards or PMs...not emails LOL!

I thought...OH...this is what a infraction looks like! :laugh:

That's what mine said. It's in the forum rules in the box at the bottom of the page under "you may post replies" etc. I never clicked on it before so I don't know if it was there before today.

I just got that too! I had to click my computer would not let me get away! I could not even close it down. What is going on?

[tootie]

Got one myself and I thought I had done a boo-boo or something. Glad I'm not alone. :laugh:

Coldwater can you explain what is up with this? I agreed to the terms. No problem there I just thought there may be an announcement somewhere that I may have missed. Thanks for any input!

So does that mean all the other forum rules we agreed to when we first joined are moot? :laugh:

Thanks for this thread - I was really perplexed when I got what everyone is describing here. Glad it wasn't just me! :scared:

[kitty1182]

testing..I got one and just testing to see if I made it back in..lol

Only if we want to get the boot. :wink:

[Moondust]

Is anyone able to go back and get a copy of this message for CW??? She's in the dark just like us....I think I may change my password just to be safe....:unsure:

[kennedy06]

WHattt, come to think of it why wasn't I asked until I clicked to post on this thread, ok calming my paranoia. Administrators any answers?

Why would they care what we do in email?

[Moondust]

I couldn't post til I clicked on that box....has anyone been getting alot of spams from non-english speaking folks lately??

Maybe it's something coming from the higher ups who didn't make mods aware...:shrug:

I changed my password anyway....don't want to take any chances...not sure that would actually help though...:unsure:


Hopefully CW will find out about it and put our minds at ease soon.

[birdwatch]

WHattt, come to think of it why wasn't I asked until I clicked to post on this thread, ok calming my paranoia. Administrators any answers? I just got it when I tried to post here. I wonder why they don't bother letting CW know when they do something like that. Don't they know it worries us when she doesn't know what is going on? We think we're being hacked or something.

[BorderCollieMom]

Right under the "Post Reply" button theres a box that says the usualcan / cannot stuff....has anyone ever noticed before if "FORUM RULES" was ever there before...? Its clickable as WD said above and it almost looks like a "board" that one could post on...but you cant. It just has .... what Kennedy posted above.

Strange...I looked at a couple of other sites and they have the same "forum rules" button...but its actually their forum rules, almost personalized.

Oh well....maybe CW will log in and get the pop-up too, lol...

Soooo, you did NOT know what this thread was about until you clicked it & thats when you got the pop-up ?

just trying to understand...looks like its widespread...It hit me on the Entertainment board.

[Pretty Leaf]

I think it is there the 1st time you try to get logged onto any forum.

I'm not birdwatch but I could read the thread but when I went to post the popup appeared.

[ninetoes]

I just got the same popup when trying to post a response on the political board. Wondered what was up, because Ive never really noticed anyone posting in any language other than English, and had no idea other members would have access to a persons email address to be able to harrass them via email.

You can opt to have your e-mail public in your profile. I don't really think anyone does though. You'd need to change the default to make it public.

& yes, I got the same pop up just now when I posted for the first time today.

[kitty1182]

This is what I got earlier..

kitty1182, You must accept the Forum Rules below to be able to use some forum functions.

[Katt2]

It said nothing about your personal e-mail. Just the PM's here.

You are incorrect! This is exactly what it said because I copied it down.

1. All posts must be written in English.

2. Don't spam/abuse any other member via e-mail or private message.

For breaking of rules you may be warned/banned appropriately.

What permanent file. Do you have a source for that info please?

Did you sign on at all yesterday????


I'm really just starting to think this was something from the forums provider...they may be having those issues with other forums they may host...just guessing..:unsure:

[mrsmcgoo]

I might be over cautious, but with no explanation yet about why we got that pop up, I changed my password.

[Pashie]

I doubt the board is, or was, being hacked. CW doesn't handle technical issues, so it's not a stretch that she was not informed, and didn't know.

Besides, I think if the board was being hacked, that they wouldn't waste their time trying to enforce the rules of the board. :laugh:

Exactly. Word for word. Good on you for copyin it down. This was just a tech error I think. We already signed (or accepted) these rules when we joined here.

Probally not tootie....I only did yesterday after I found out CW was not aware of this pop-up and panicked for a moment....guessing everyone's safe. Guessing this pop-up came from the forum providers.

Tootie...I don't think it is anything serious, but I did change my password. I hadn't done that in a while and it doesn't hurt to do that every so often anyway.

:smile:

[CatToy]

Why is a password to a message board so coveted? I'm not sure i get this. :(

IT's a message board! Not your bank account :D

LOL....my concern was someone coming in under my nic. and reaking havoc....I don't need any help in that dept....:laugh:

[CatToy]

This is so bizarre. I only speak english, and I don't use the email system here or the PM system. So why does this pop up appear?

One or the other is marked in red. It's truly weird. Does this pop up come from Admin or not? Why does a member get this pop up if they don't even use the PM system on a board?

[FoxySly]

Exactly. Word for word. Good on you for copyin it down. This was just a tech error I think. We already signed (or accepted) these rules when we joined here.

I don't remember anything about all post having to be in English when I first signed on or when I was part of the mass banning in 2004 & had to sign up again.
It could have been there & I just don't recall.

I figured it was an update to the TOS.

I know of a board that lets you check in but you can never check out & the TOS I signed there many years ago changed a lot & we were never notified. To get off that board I had to write a post letting everyone know of what I thought of what that board has become to at least get "Banned" under my name as they use "Timed Out" & other such things so it LOOKS like they have more members then they actually do.
