saltcedar, throw us a bone here…

Which version of Weather Watcher are you using? Where did that HTML come from? Is there anything else we should know?

Obviously saltcedar doesn’t know how to attach zipped files. And just as obvious, this code wasn’t from Weather Watcher so nothing to worry about.

It could be that saltcedar was trying to post an ad, ie he is a SPAMMER!! In which case delete the thread and his id.

Judging from saltcedar’s other posts
http://www.singerscreations.com/Forum/search.php?search_author=saltcedar
he isn’t trying to post an ad.

My best guess is the code is coming from weather.com and he thought it was connected to WW in some way. It doesn’t appear to be.

The post is the source of the main page of TWC.

Sorry

Didn’t have reply notification turned on.

It looked like Weather Channel was trying to spam us thru the alerts page. So I just copied the script and pasted it here.

Hopefully you have upgraded - this version is a bit old now :stuck_out_tongue:
