I was just in to see Weirdmominaustin's profile, and when I entered it, I got a pop-up saying that I'd won something and that I should click to claim the prize. I exited the profile and went back, just to get the same pop-up.
I assume that it is not TWT who put it in there. Now I'm just curious whether this is malware on my computer, or whether other people get the same pop-up as well?
This is definitely not something that I would click on! |

After reading this I thought I would give it a try and go into Weirdmominaustin's profile and see if it happened with me too and it did. I also tried a few other profiles but it didn't happen with them.
What's going on?!

So if your jokes were inspired by this... then why is it there? |

| It's just a simple piece of Javascript (Javascript Alert). Not a risk at all, just annoying :) |

You'd have to ask Weidmommy about that - they are other ppl with pop up on their profile too.

I don’t think it’s a weird way to show it. It’s a fun way to personalize your profile. Like Ric said, a few of the late nighters have either pop-ups or colored profile text. No biggy. |
