Well, no, I didn't. And SB got mad at me because it told me I was posting too quickly when I went to make a new post in a thread :p

Might be worth looking into :wink:

yeah, me too, what's up with that? Seems to be a bunch of people "made posts" to scuba news section with the same links. Someone hacking/abusing the board?
 
i was just about to PM you guys, either one of 2 things... someone got your passwords or they made a new account that looks like your names. Maybe by adding spaces to the end. Seems like SB fixed it, nice work on their part. Real fast response.

It looks like some sort of bug where whoever's trying to posts makes the same posts. If it were a SB hack, it wouldn't be happening that way I think.

I'm guessing the latter? All those posts don't show up in my user CP.
 
I'm thinking it's a bug, guys. If it were a hack it wouldn't be affecting just the people online, and a hacker with everyone's passwords would do something much less obvious :wink:
 
no way it's passwords unless someone found a way to get the whole site password database or something :p too widespread
