Something weird

[Trish]

It seems to involve our George. Whenever I check a thread where's he's posted, I get a weird error message. It says:

Not Found

The requested URL /about:blank was not found on this server.


Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Actually, I see this was discussed a bit in the "bamboozled" thread, on page 688.

muggs noticed it also:

And I added that it seems to be George related (probably should have started a thread here in the SuggBox - kudos Trish):

I get it in the Orioles thread.

It also deactivates the links over the thread title. I have to hit backpage to get away from the page.

I can't even use the back button...I have to go to the little down arrow thingy to go back.

Edit: I just went in there too, and it happened on a page where he posted.

[texasyankee]

I've noticed the same thing....since this morning or yesterday, i cant recall.....it was in the "random political crap thread" on page 77...and wouldnt you know it, George's post happens to be at the top of that page....

this is freaky.........

[texasyankee]

I'm so happy to find out it's not just happening to me...... I never made the connection with George.....

[texasyankee]

.............. I never made the connection with George.....

Let me clarify my prior comment that any connection with George has been strictly thru the internet......

[Jim F.]

I will look into it

[NYYDragoon]

Gotta be some code in George's sig or something.

[4bronxbombers]

Freakin George

[effdamets]

Oh - just this...

I saw a thread named "Something weird" started by Trish and thought, "WHOA!"

[NYYDragoon]

Definitely George. Try quoting one of his posts.

[YankeePride1967]

Can a mod or someone delete his signature? It seems to be spreading.

[Casey at the Bat]

This is getting frustrating. I'm glad someone noticed that only threads George posts in have this problem. I wonder if it will still occur if I ignore him, or at least block all sigs for now.

[Casey at the Bat]

Still occurs, even with all sigs blocked. Sorry George, you're going on ignore for now...

[Trish]

I PM'd him and asked him to remove his sig temporarily to see if it helps. He said he tried, and it keeps coming back.

[Casey at the Bat]

I tried blocking sigs first, then avatars (in case it was his avatar), but done of it seemed to work, so I had to block George all together, which worked perfectly. As soon as it is fixed, I'lll unblock him. Sorry Georgie.

Poor Georgie

[philleotardo]

Boobs

[Trish]

I think it's fixed?

Although, I have to say I was hoping to avoid seeing myself memorialized in his sigs anymore

[Trish]

Never mind, it's still doing it.

Is this going to be looked into?

[Jim F.]

I've looked into it, and I'm stumped, to be honest

[#1PaFan]

Sorry folks!!! Hopefully all is OK now. If it makes ya feel better, it was taking me a LOT of time to load pages.


And, I bet that Trish still didn't have a Facial.

Uhhh - was she asking for one?

really? interesting

[Trish]

What?

[Tifoso]

What?

Exactly.

[Trish]

His signature's gone, but it's still doing it.

[Casey at the Bat]

Maybe it's his avatar?

[Trish]

Maybe it's his avatar?

IDK but it's really pretty annoying.

[Bozidar]

i use IE 6.. and i've never experienced this. I use IE 7 at home, and have never experienced this.

[xenadanielle]

I've never noticed it before today, but am on my work PC with IE 7 right now. I'll check later @ home if it happens on my Mac w/Safari.

Linda said that when she quotes him, all sorts of embedded stuff shows up.

I never trusted that George fella anyway!

I tried to quote it to see the hidden code when Linda posted that, but it wasn't working for me on a mac. My guess is it is hidden flash, or hidden JavaScript that is pointed to a website that no longer is functioning. We've had a few posters, usually new guys with very few posts, who have done that, and were ROd as a result. George probably picked it up accidentally by quoting a post or a pic. Or just maybe George has gone over to the dark side...

There's hidden coding in it but I dont wanna copy/paste anything and mess things up more. Its very weird though. Maybe George needs to run a scan on his computer.

[TheYankee]

George, do you always post from the same computer? I'm wondering if this is exclusive to his username or is on his computer. I'd have to imagine it's the username though.

[#1PaFan]

I'm very sorry that this is causing some folks a lot of problems. Yes, I now only post from the same computer. I have no idea what is going on as this seems to only happen here.

Ring took off my sig when I was unable to. When it was on there, it also caused me a ton of problems when I posted.

My avatar has been there quite a while. These problems seem to have started when I copied & pasted a quote into my sig, but as I said, it's since been removed.

Damn Bush!

[yankeebot]

I haven't seen it since you removed the sig, George.

[#1PaFan]

Damn Bush!

LOL!!! Don't get me started on him! He's the 2nd worst President we've had in the past 3 years!

[fredgmuggs]

I only see it happen in the political forum. (still do)

[yankeebot]

And I spoke too soon. Just got it in Bad News for Republicans.

[Trish]

It happened in the LTE yesterday. But not in the LOT. Which is very odd.

Sorry Georgie.

[#1PaFan]

I wish I knew what it was, everybody.

[Casey at the Bat]

Its kind of wierd, because sometimes the hidden code is only a few lines, and sometimes it is like 15 pages long. Even in this thread, in his two posts here, there was two lines of code in one of his posts, the post that says "LOL!!! Don't get me started on him!" has the following code:

"imput id="gwproxy" type=hidden)(!--session data--)(imput onlclick="jsCall();" id = "jsProxy" type="hidden'"

I purposely mispelled some words, and replaced the < and closing > with parenthesis so that it didn't mess with anything else. Does this mean anything to anyone?

The other code that appears in the political forum is like 15 pages long, and is javascript of some type.

[fredgmuggs]

It's a subversive government plot

[Casey at the Bat]

George, do me a favor, respond to this post by quoting it and just saying anything that you want under it...

[Tifoso]

I'm not having any problems, FWIW. On Firefox or on IE
