Suspicious Goings-on

I took a look at the thread "Seagate Backup Question", posted by snapper, a member since Jun 3, 2006.

Then I received an email from MG, saying that there was a response from snapper to my thread "Any Way To View All My Threads?"

In this email message, there was the usual View This Thread button with an embedded link to the thread in question, just like there always is whenever I get an email from MG telling me that I've received a response to one of my threads. I ran my cursor over it, and the link really DID point to my thread.

So I clicked on View This Thread, but it took me to Seagate Backup Question instead!

And Any Way To View All My Threads? does NOT include any posting by snapper.

This appears to be a similar situation to the time I got spammed by LunnaH (LauraR, please see our conversation "Profile post").

That, as staff members might recall, was seemingly in response to my thread "Cryptowall 4.0 Infection", even though what was said in the email message did in fact NOT appear in that thread.

Anyway, because I suspect hanky panky here, I ask that staff investigate this situation ASAP. For my part,I will now run MB and then a Full Scan with Avira's System Scanner, and then post the results in this thread.

 

Nothing suspicious, either Snapper quickly deleted his (off topic) 'reply' and created a new topic (http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index.php?threads/seagate-backup-question.296727/), or one of the staff moved it. I'd guess at the former, the latter would be close to impossible as the timings from both the email notification and the new topic coincide to the same minute.

Otherwise there may be some 'bug' in the new forum software. Unlikely, others would probably have reported on it by now.

BTW, the linked topic in your second sentence above is incorrect, it should point here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index.php?threads/any-way-to-view-all-my-threads.296687/ using the Preview function is a good idea with complex matters such as this.

 

OK, thanks to both of you for checking this out so quickly.

Oh, I had said I'd post the results of my scans: both malware-free.

 

Good Morning All No I am real, and female. Have not posted in a while and you have a new web set up I am unfamiliar with. I am not spam. Really am having a problem with Seagate. Never was the best poster here. Yes I looked at 'How to view my threads' and did not post there. Just trying to navigate about. Please advise on how to re-submit my question. Thank you.
