    Solved Portal Page Undesirable Link

    Post by rhoda April 13th 2015, 2:33 am

    Technical Details


    Forum version : phpBB3
    Position : Administrator
    Concerned browser(s) : Google Chrome
    Who the problem concerns : All members
    When the problem appeared : problem occurred since we opened and then it was resolved (or so I thought) but now its returned
    Forum link : http://cherishedmoments.forumotion.net

    Description of problem

    I was told how to change so guests cannot post links on our Portal Page. it worked for a few days but now the problem of a link showing under our Forum Header in the last three words of our forum description. Ie. "design awesome tag" is now showing a link. This only shows when I am logged out. I checked the setting in Admin Panel and its set correctly but the problem returned. Any ideas?

    Does this occur on all devices?  I do not see it when I visited your forum using a PC computer.

    Clear your browsers' caches and histories.  If that does not work, I would run some scans.

    I ran a Malwarebytes scan maybe an hour ago but I'll rerun it once more.

    I clear my cache and histories regularly and the scan showed another 5 PUP intrusions that attach to Google Chrome Extensions. : (

    Thank you Ange. This was done previously as I had this problem before. That setting is set for No. Thanks for your help. I need to do a more thorough hard drive clean.  This topic may be closed. xoxo Smile
