Guys,

A guest just notified me that some hotlinked images on YF were displaying porn. The original poster had put up images of a yacht. These images were hotlinked to a server. At somepoint, the files were replaced with porn. Not sure when or why. It may have been accidental, such as his account was removed and replaced with a new account that hosted "less than yacht-like" images.

Whatever happened here, we need to keep an eye out for hotlinked images. In the forum rules, I have been adamant about NO hotlinked images. The above scenario is the reason why.

To our regular members... please notify Lars, Kevin or myself if you see a post with hotlinked images.

Thanks!

Carl
