Okay.....Who DID IT! Skinner is being notoriously "elusive" on this
Avatar business down in the "AA" Forum...but he gave his WORD that none of our personal info is being hacked.

What gives here. He said on my post in "AA" "What Avatar" and yet now all the avatars are the "two faced Bush" once again.

What's goin on here. Lots of us are paranoid enough...do any of you computer geeks have an answer?

It's too early for April Fools...what IS IT?

I'm freaky about privacy...if this place is being hacked lots of us could have our employment hurt...:-(

11. "Are you blind?"
"He is black on the left side. I am black on my right side."

I think about that line a lot episode when sectarian violence explodes.

8. As I recall, only a username, a password, and an e-mail address.
The rest is optional in our profile.

5. It's just some sort of script
someone managed to tag on to the site that's running. I doubt it has anything to do with your personal info, since it is site wide.

9. All I feel comfortable about is that Skinner did assure us that the
personal info was safe. It does seem to follow that since users can upload avatars to the file server where this two-faced bush avatar was saved that it is a rather open server. The personal info would be in a different, more secure location.

Still I question how a hacker could get into the configuration to redirect everyone's avatar to that one, instead of the default /personal/ subdirectory and image.
