May 22, 2012 0:31:56 Yeah. I was just browsing a few threads in the D&D Next Group forums and that popped up. I was rather surprised, to say the least.

I would too, but not until I checked with others because I find that Forum member response tends to be much faster than Customer Service response, especially after work hours.

We are aware of the issue and have pointed the right people at it. We hope to have it resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks.

May 23, 2012 12:20:18 Just to touch on this, I got an PM on this site from a Jeniferbu wanting me to email me them from my email address so they can send me some pictures and they are interested in me. Anyone else running into this?

Sounds like a phishing scam. I hope you reported it.

May 24, 2012 6:46:12 I have a script blocker built into my anti-virus. It automatically blocks any script that I don't like as well as potentially harmful ones. Right now I block all google tracking and facebook buttons (which are really embedded pages that track everything you do, whether you are logged in or not). So I generally don't have to worry about this kind of stuff.

P.S. WotC forums have 2 trackers: Facebook Connect and Google Analytics...
