I hope our Avatars come back soon.....My ants still have to get into more pants!

P.S....I just noticed the message at the top of the page regarding the avatars....

Confused.

On top of what? What did the message say?

There was a message saying that the board had been hacked, and that somehow it was tied into our avatars.......

I'll paste the message below.....

Avatars Are Disabled! For security purposes, I have disabled the avatars due to the hack that happened last week on the boards, I have found that the hacker from India uploaded some script codes in the avatar section and attempted to require visitors at TvTalk to download a virus. To make the long story short, he tried to hijack and redirect the boards to a hospital in Europe. I guess he thought you posters are sick! LOL You will still be able to change and see your avatar on your Profile Page, just not on the posts. I hope you understand! ---Webmaster Trevor Rieger

I did notice something trying to hack into my computer, but my Zone Alarm caught it. It made my pages not load right.

Oh my, so violated!

Not only were the avatars entertaining, to me they had a functional purpose - it made it easier to see who the poster was! Oh well. I'd rather have a safe site than an avatar, I guess.. :(

Thanks for copying the msg, Rowan... I didn't see that!

I was wondering what was going on. Oh well, I was having trouble designing a Valentine's Day hat for Avatar Lexy to wear anyway. :)

I am lost without my SuperJazz avatar. I feel powerless without it. The pages do seem to load a lot faster, so that's a plus.

Ahhh! You are still SuperJazz, even without the pic. Plus, she is on your profile page. It could be worse. You could have a pic like poor Txn on profile.

You're right, heaven forbid if I was doomed with that likeness for the rest of my days, the poor thing. It would be enough to drive one to insanity and spinsterhood. (I don't even know if that's a term, but it sounded good at the time, so I kept it-sue me) :O

Looks like a word, to me. Goodnight.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, noooooooooooooooooo! I miss the avatars!!! I like color!

Yes, Ruffles, I totally loved your sparkling blue gown in your avatar! :(

Will this be permanent? Some creep making our little avatars have to go away. Wonder if the vulnerability will get a patch so we can get our avatars back. Someone please ask Trevor if there is any hope. I've already PM'd him about something this month, so I won't ask him. Anyone?

Gini,
PLEASE consider your putting your "Morning After" Bob B. avatar back up.

Always put a smile on my face when I check posts.

Well, I might. Most ppl were skeered of it. We need to get any avatars back first!!! I do realize we can still see avatars by clicking on the poster name, but it is hardly the same .... .

Something just occurred to me. I wonder if any newbies and/or guests wonder why I need more cowbell, lol!

I have a new motherboard and avatars in profiles are still NOT moving! They do on other sites, though! Very weird.

I miss the avitars! Especially Lexy's where her most recent had a New Year's party hat. And the one who had Will Ferrell playing the cowbell. ---- "You're like my mommy after her box a wine" -Ralph Wiggum (Simpsons)

With or without the avatar your signature line makes me laugh......
