I think that all should be okay. There's been a lot of spam posted on the forum over the last few days, which only the mods are lucky enough to get to see.

Most of the spammers are setting signatures, etc., which it is possible for anyone to see, so Chrome has probably picked up on those.

I'm currently working my way through them to clear everything out.

Just don't click on users "website" in their profile or any links in their signatures when you view their profiles and you should be fine.

Are people only getting this on one specific page or can is happen on any page?

Just need to understand if it's a general issue on the forum.

I think that I've cleared out all of the dodgy signatures, etc.

Seems like the appropriate thread to say thanks to the mods for the fairly thankless task of looking after the site. Fair play guys (and girls).

I'm only getting it on the rumour mill thread.
