I've had this happen to me twice now, and I'm wondering if there's a bug....when I go into the Wiki, on the main page, I'd see an orange banner saying I had new messages. However, if I click on the 'new messages' link, I'm sent to the User Talk page which is totally blank.

If someone has been trying to contact me about the Wiki, please PM me, and I'll respond.

Thanks Mike

Mike, we are facing an issue where spammers are automatically adding links to porn and pharam sites on some of the talk pages - they look blank b/c the hide the links, however when google crawls this very popular site and sees that information it increases the page ranks for those sites.

I've been removing them as I see them come in - and I'll be working over the holidays for a more perm fix.

OK thanx Lindsay. Appreciate the info Have a nice Holiday, spammers notwithstanding. Oh, and don't do too many 16 oz. arm curls - you know the ones that cause you to feel crappy the next day :.>> Mike

That kind of working out works well for me - however this holiday season it has been scotch on the rocks.

:cool:
