Nadia B. Posted February 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2011 So, while happily pm'ing away with someone, we both noticed some random "attached thumbnail" images added into our posts. In one of my replies, the forum added a nice pic of George Bush for me. In one of the other party's replies, it decided to add in a pic of an older distinguished gentleman in a polo. Erm... why?

Bracket Posted February 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sounds like the government is doing it. It's part of their evil plan to make people like Bush........ Or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia B. Posted February 23, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, I have to say, I have not the first image of him anywhere on this computer. So, it's either the government, or the forum is haunted. I suppose it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadia B. Posted February 23, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, as I said to the person I was talking to (who actually noticed it first), what's going to happen if I p*** someone off who pm's me. I'll be trying to make things all better, and some stupid pic will get attached like an lolcat saying "uz r stoopidz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadia B. Posted February 23, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted February 23, 2011 LOL, Spider. Saru, I didn't notice it until just last night. It's happened a total of 3 times. It seems rather random in nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~TheBigK~ Posted February 23, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I don't know why but this is hilarious. An older distinguished gentlemen in a polo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia B. Posted February 23, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) You should've seen the pic. Instead of old gray haired dude, I chose to be a lil more PC. Edited February 23, 2011 by Nadia B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first time it happened was a bit over a month ago but I just joined the forum recently. I don't know if it's occurred to anyone else before then. It also happens randomly. Once it was three times in a day, and then weeks without one. Any idea what's causing it? I can go back through my messages and find an exact date if you'd like.

Saru Posted February 23, 2011 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2011 At the moment i've no idea what would cause this, i'll keep investigating though and see if anything comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arenee Posted February 24, 2011 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2011 At the moment i've no idea what would cause this, i'll keep investigating though and see if anything comes up. I talked to Pax today and he said it happens occasionally and has been since he joined. He's been on quite a while so apparently it has been happening and maybe just was not reported. Maybe it is haunted! good luck finding the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGirl Posted March 11, 2011 #19 Share Posted March 11, 2011 the only time i remember this happening was when i use to use instant messenger in hotmail. a virus would infiltrate the conversation and send pics and links as though it was me or the person i was chatting with sending them.

Nadia B. Posted March 12, 2011 Author #21 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Muahahha. My evil plan is working... Somewhere there's a guy around here with a big ol stick that's gonna smack you for that. Strange. I don't think it's happened recently. Honestly I'd not have noticed even if the other person hadn't mentioned it. I just saw the pic and figured he was some old dude gettin frisky. When I scrolled up and saw one of my pm's had GW in it... well I knew it was just busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted March 12, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Sounds like malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted March 12, 2011 #23 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Its not malware, its most likely a bug with the way attachments are assigned to forum private message IDs. A fix was recently implemented relating to the performance of attachment queries so its possible you won't see this happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
