Add me to the list of people that have no idea what richterscale is talking about.

I am just having my first cup of Starbucks coffee, where do I link? I am sure it is far more interesting than this morning's work memos.

Good detective work Coiran, was there a pornographic chair hog thread on RCI? I didn't see one.

srphnx...I did read thru the RCCL chair hogs and the only one I found, wasn't porographic. It had a couple of off color references, but nothing that I found offensive. Also, he wrote of being in the photo gallery. Sounds to me like he was someone who was a chair hog and got caught. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I think she is referring to the dancing old lady with the tassels on the other chair hog thread. When the wet t-shirt contest was being discussed. That is the only thing I can figure. I wouldn't want my kids to see that either but they don't hover around when I am online.

[kimba_99]

The dancing old lady with the tassels is on the 'New Poll on Formal Nights' thread, page 2

Richterscale, I read your post and I didn't know what you were talking about either, nor have I seen the picture. I don't think you need to be so defensive. Everyone here is just trying to help.

[richterscale]

no your not. go right now to no chair hogs here on the fund stuff area of the board. go to photo gallery and see for yourself

[srphnx]

psupa,

You are giving him more credit than I do by calling it defensive, the tone and comments are a lot more OFFENSIVE to my reading.

It is better to be quiet and thought "not savvy" on these boards than to post and remove all doubt

Richterscale your frustration does not give you the right to be so confrontational.

Did look, it is on page two of funstuff/photo gallery and under "no chair hogs here"...

There is nothing but a picture of some empty chairs.

Whatever you saw before is not there now or if this is what bothered you ... I have no idea why.

please do not think of me as an a**.
"no chair hogs here " by shipsahoy 11-15-03
it puts you into a porn site.please tell me how to e-mail or call to get this thing off. i have been on the boards because my family and i are booked on the jewel of the sea. have found very friendly stuff posted. was on princess board because i was helping a friend who is traveling princess to tahiti. and have been on rcl board and they were talking about chair hogs. found myself on photo board because i wanted to see if pictures of radiance type ships were on. came across chair hogs, and thought it was a fun look. jee, i will take your advice and not post to get ride of stuff.

[srphnx]

I don't think of you as an anything, but the link you refer to does not take you to anything, it has a small .jpg of some empty beach chairs. Whatever happened to your browser has nothing to do with the post as it now sits. Perhaps it did, perhaps you have a trojan in your pc. perhaps... I don't know. But that post has NO link of any kind, nothing to click... look at it again.

And just so you know.. see that triangular sign in the lower right portion of any post?... that is a "report this post" button.

i had my husband just now with me and we clicked and it came up. i guess this is why i don't step outside the box. i don't know too much about browers or that, i do work with a mainframe computer system. sorry for all the hype but this is what comes up. i will try to get ahold of forum moderator tomorrow.

Nordic Prince 88 Homeric 89 Seaward 89 Sovereign 94 Majesty 01 Disney Magic 02 Jewel 04

[richterscale]

i just tried to click on the author in the right hand corner and it came up a porn site again. would my computer have such a thing? to have it go to this type of site but be on the critic? i have clicked on a bunch of other posts on the cruise critic and never had this happen. i'm no bible bumper but don't need to see it in graphic detail. i will ask my dh in am to see if he can figure it out. really, what would you do if you clicked on a thread and it came up as mine did? sorry it was on the wrong venue, but thought i was e'mailing the moderator.

There is another post below the one you are talking about rickterscale called URGENT MESSAGE TO LAURA STERLING! Apparently, you are not the only person that this has happened to.

It appears to be a trojan or other virus try going to virus scan (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) and see if anything pops up, could easily be not your fault.. porn happens, dialers, worms etc.

oh my. why hasn't this post been taken off?
i clicked on the urgent message and again more junk. does the moderator go thru and take off posts that are old or have not any value anymore? these have been up for awhile. i really have to be careful now on what i click on especially on the boards that are not as utilized as the cruise line boards are. thank you. richterscale

if you say its a trojan, then dh will be to install a norton virus thing? we have a new computer and new internet service and i don't think he as set it up. i can get you around the world by plane but i can't work the cruise critic boards. who knew....

[richterscale]

no.
i have no idea about computers. i really wish you could white out the lines you don't want.lol..
atlanta huh, if you drive to birmingham you can help out the profit sharing with southwest... but you may want to try air tran.
i know that they are inexpensive and a good airline.

Nordic Prince 88 Homeric 89 Seaward 89 Sovereign 94 Majesty 01 Disney Magic 02 Jewel 04

[pamwinn]

I actually like airtran. We always upgrade to business class at the gate for next to nothing and always get the front seats with the extra legroom. BUt, they don't fly to Seattle. I think I am pretty much stuck with Delta especially since I want to fly nonstop.

You need to get that problem taken care of pretty quick. If you read the other post I referred to above you know some people ended up with fried hard drives.

[richterscale]

i really think i messed up. i keep getting sites pop when i click on this board. my dh will need to fix this pronto. it has happend at least 6x's in the last 2 hours.
sorry about delta. they try, but sometimes not enough. make sure that your fare is not one that if you miss your flightfor some odd reason, you can still fly on delta standby. i have had people come to the tkt counter and be soo mad...they have basically given delta money and delta won't allow them to fly at all becuase it was flight and date specific. just be aware of the fare you purchase, and its rules. delta is good, but be careful.

cruzenmama,

There is nothing for Laura to remove, the problem is not with the post, there is some issue with a individual pc's only a few people are having this problem, meaning it is some kind of computer viral gremlin, not a deliberate porno post from a member.

We are nice people, so nice in fact that there was no porn link posted by the member in question.

I'm not sure what thread you're refering and I'm not sure if shipsahoy is a legitimate individual as I've never seen any posts by that person, but pc tech issues regarding viruses and trojan horses have to do with an involuntary application change on your hardware.

If you have pop-up ads while visiting this website, most likely have an ad program downloaded on to your hard drive from another site.

If you are visiting legitimate websites and have offensive material come up and bring you to a non-intended site, you have a trojan horse which routes itself through your drive.

These kinds of problems persist on your pc because someone in your household has most likely visited a porn site in the past or recently. Trojan horses, spyware, adware etc, those types of problem applications are typically associated mostly with porn sites and rarely any other legitimate site.

The easiest way to get rid of any bug is to just take your hard drive to a computer technician. They can reinstall your hard drive so long as you can make backups or add it to a zip drive so you don't lose importan docs or files and let them do whatever it is they need to do.

You can try Ad/Remove Programs located in your Control Panel. If you see an unfamiliar program that you did not install, you can uninstall it yourself as long as you know you didn't add that program in there.

[starsjohn]

At this point in time, I would not operate any computer on the net with out the virius software up and running. The current uploads for the virius software must also be in place. Several of the big viriuses do pop up plenty of porn and worse.

John

[srphnx]

Just so there is no misunderstanding at the home of Richterscale, you don't have to voluntarily visit a porn site to get a trojan or a worm. It can be done innocently so no family fights there now.
