    My AO profile info changed itself!!! Webmaster or Mods help!!!

    I was doing some stuff in my CP just a second ago when I looked at my little "Home page URL" description thing and it had changed itself to some porno site! I promise you it wasn't me! I have no idea what happened. My real site is my Geocities site, http://www.geocities.com/bertmcmahan. Is there any way this box could be updated without me changing it? I have also had some problems with my IE homepage getting resetted. Mostly to some of those worthless search engines, but every now and then something very very, well lets just say non-Christian. Could that have had anything to do with it? I change it back immediately cause I don't want that crap on my computer, but now it's infected my AO account? This is my public profile! I don't want people thinking that that crap is my website!!! What do I do???? An interesting note is that it was able to get around the curse filter. I think you can guess something along the lines of what it said. AO didn't filter it, which I find kinda interesting, but I don't blame the site for not being able to filter everything. But does anyone have ANY idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance

    Um well I got no idea what changed yours. But if it happens again let me know and I will not ban you for it if it accidently puts something in there that should not. I will consider that as an excuse but you should double check it every once in a while. It is your responsibility to control your account and your profile.

    And no... signatures do not go through the filter. Which is why the rule here is that its still a violation to avoid the filter. Whether you do it through a picture or a Signature or even causing it to create the ****'s. Thats the rule. So linking to avoid would be a warning and a violation. Thats the rule.

          I was going to ask that too. Can't find it in a search or FAQ anywhere. Must be and admin option that the webmaster needs to turn on?

            When you go to your usercp and under edit profile your not seeing Edit custom title? With a check box to allow you to edit it?

                Ok well I see it and its the first anyone has reported that regular members are not. So let me go check the permissions on that. Might be something default in this new version that I need to allow.

                      Yea took me a while to find it but it was off in one place. Must have been default to off.

                              Uhh...please let that go for me as well. My system has a virus that appears to be damaged itself. It doesn't spread, but it does change my browser homepage, and I have noticed it changing a forum profile at least once (not this forum...).
                              "I would like nothing more than to walk around
                              wearing a shirt with a giant arrow pointing
                              downwards, but I have this strange feeling
                              that most people would take it as some kind
                              of sexual suggestion rather than an attempt
                              to infer one's final destination."
