MatthewSchenker Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Happy New Year from New England! It is about 10:00 PM here, and my partying is done (I have a four-year-old sleeping down the hall). Looking forward to lots of new projects and community connections with ProcessWire in 2013. Thanks, Matthew
doolak Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Happy New Year from here too!!! Wish you all good health, happiness and success for 2013! And please keep on doing that great work with ProcessWire!
Pete Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Happy New Year. I'm going back to bed in a bit... the website won't stop spinning!
MatthewSchenker Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Greetings, First day of a New Year here in New England. OK, why are all the occurrences of "Happy New Year" being replaced with links to Amazon items? Thanks, Matthew

Joss Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 First day of the year here in "old" England. Spent it rigging up a little dev server with Ubunto, Webmin/VIrtualmin and Samba and then trying to work out why it doesn't work. Oh, joy..... PS: Now I am just going to set up a couple of PW thingies as Server Templates for quick developinginging... Joss HNY - (Abbreviated to help those infested with spyware...) 2
Joss Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Ah ... little typo there! By the way, follow symlinks an issue ... needs to be commented out with Virtualmin. Oh, the infamy!
WillyC Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 no.w whan i sees Happy New Year it.do it for me two whys happy New Yeardo this how.can stop
MatthewSchenker Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Greetings, Glad I'm not the only one... Sometimes Happy New Year links to Amazon products. Sometimes Happy New Year links to Zombo.com In one case, Happy New Year links to the Web site for Yale, South Dakota. My favorite is the link to the Haiti News Network (http://anselme.homes...m/AFPHAITI.html). I thought this site was a joke, then realized it is an actual site for the Haiti News Network! And on and on it goes... Thanks, Matthew
doolak Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Greetings, Glad I'm not the only one... Sometimes Happy New Year links to Amazon products. Sometimes Happy New Year links to Zombo.com And on and on it goes... Thanks, Matthew LOL - i was about to ask here where you all see those links - and now when i scrolled above, i saw them too... So this has to be something on server-side - i cannot imagine that all of us have such a spyware on different platforms and different browsers. Strange stuff... Edit: @MatthewSchenker - in your post Happy New Year is not linked, but all others are now. So we'll see what happens... Edited January 3, 2013 by doolak
DaveP Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Wasn't doing the funny links on HNY but is now - must be forum software.
Joss Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Okay, now I am seeing it - test: Happy New Year EDIT: Okay, so that was not linked just now. So it is not automatic .... who is playing?
MatthewSchenker Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Hello Everyone, This seems to have something to do with the Skimresources thingy that somehow gets included with ProcessWire. The links appear and disappear with apparent randomness. Notice: the words "forum software" also create an automatic link -- often to vBulletin, but today it is going to sheetmusicplus.com. What's going on with this? Matthew
ryan Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Matthew, regarding the Happy New Year links: I thought that either you were kidding, or you weren't and could use a laugh. So I manually linked them myself, just for fun. I did a search for "worst designed websites ever" and used those for the links. Sorry guys, my sense of humor sometimes gets the best of me. I'll unlink them. With a clearer head this morning, it seems clear that you really are seeing actual spam links and you aren't kidding? It really does sound like browser spyware to me. Also, you mentioned this Skimresources thing, which I'm not familiar with. Can you explain more about where you are seeing this? We are not using any affiliate networks or advertising here, so this is not coming from processwire.com (unless there's some problem with IP.Board). I'm guessing you've got a browser extension that is inserting <script> tags into sites that you visit to automatically link words. Can you try from another browser to double check? For instance, if in Chrome, try Firefox, etc. 4
apeisa Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Hahaa. So was that ass oil I already ordered some kind of fake... oh damn!
MatthewSchenker Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Greetings, Ryan: I have noticed that ProcessWire sites have "Skimresources" running. Check <head> area to see the references. Just for example, here's a sample of what I see here in this site: <script type="text/javascript" async="" src="//r.skimresources.com/api/?callback=skimlinksApplyHandlers&data=%7B%22pubcode%22%3A%2228566X866039%22%2C%22domains%22%3A%5B%22twitter.com%22%2C%22invisionpower.com%22%5D%7D"> skimlinksApplyHandlers({"merchant_domains":[],"guid":"5f75d4d27f216d63a53bcc563d9a25c8","country":"US"}); </script> <script type="text/javascript" async="" src="//r.skimresources.com/api/?callback=skimlinksApplyHandlers&data=%7B%22pubcode%22%3A%2228566X866039%22%2C%22domains%22%3A%5B%22twitter.com%22%2C%22invisionpower.com%22%5D%7D"> skimlinksApplyHandlers({"merchant_domains":[],"guid":"5f75d4d27f216d63a53bcc563d9a25c8","country":"US"}); </script> It also loads some style sheets. By the way, I see this stuff in a lot of sites, not just ProcessWire. Am I the only one seeing these? It seem that these links are appearing for everyone. Is it a browser issue? Thanks, Matthew
ryan Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 No that stuff is real. I go to that page on Amazon whenever I need a good laugh. Read a few of the reviews and you will fall out of your chair laughing. It is a real product, basically today's equivalent of a stink bomb prank, but apparently much stronger. I don't see those script tags on any of our sites. Anybody else? I think they are getting dynamically inserted by a browser extension. Have you tried another browser?
MatthewSchenker Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Ryan, OK, thanks. The links appear in Firefox, but they do not appear when I load the page in Chrome.However, the issue of those links seems unrelated to this. Seems everyone is seeing those.I did not see links to ass oil! Thanks, Matthew
