Thanks for the heads-up. All taken care of now.

Woot. Just doing my part. :)

What?? I'm confused. I haven't noticed anything happening when I click on links.. but gosh, are they serious? Why are they doing this? O.o

Thanks for the heads up. I will what you suggested. :)

LJ is sneaky, so you probably wouldn't notice unless (like me) you were running Firefox with the NoScript add-on, which is designed to prevent strange scripts from running without your permission. And likely you didn't click any links during the first version of the code. The code was horribly written, so it would hijack links not only to "ebay.com" but any link ending in -bay.com, so it broke a lot of outgoing links. That's how people started noticing what was going on.

Ok, I have firefox but I don't have that add-on.
Grrr, can't believe they're doing this. I paid so much money for my permanent account! >:(

It surprises me how weird LJ is at sometimes. Thanks for the heads up

Ahhh. I don't use any of those things, and rarely link, but I've done the admin thing just in case.

Thanks!!! That explains why LJ has been fucktarding around lately...I thought NoScript was at fault somehow. Our sinister rooshin overlords...bah...
