I got it too, dont click on it
I believe its a virus, it shut down my browser because it tried to "execute code" Dont use wiki til they fix it. Yeah, I saw it too. I accidentally clicked on it, gonna run some file checks now. The site looked like the legit SE page, but I didn't read every last bit of it. I didn't notice any misspellings or simple mistakes, but we'll find out soon if it's real/fake.
Either way, it's damn annoying. Bahamut.Rienea said: APRIL FOOLS! Ramuh.Dasva said: Bahamut.Rienea said: APRIL FOOLS! I've only been playing since last September. So, this is new to me. Joke or not, I'm not taking any chances. Rofl Yeah, it's gotta be an April Fools thing. It's annoying though, the damn image is making wiki impossible to use. I can't click on a ton of the links.
And I did compare the actual SE support page address with the one I got when I clicked on the image, it's the same as the SE Support rules/policies page. Damnit Wiki. Yeah, I just noticed the date (._. ) damnit they got me. lol, scary none the less. Damnit, Ill be kicking myself all week for this.
tbh i seriously thought a virus got on my PC, was scanning it... and with the history Wiki has had, would you blame me???

incase you didn't see the other thread. Disable Java and the picture will go away

Sylph.Ixe said: Asura.Daleterrence said: Why is everyone freaking about this? Ramuh.Dasva said: Sylph.Ixe said: Asura.Daleterrence said: Why is everyone freaking about this? I'm curious to see if Scragg or Jae do anything for the 1st of April. Lol anyone figured out if it actually belongs to ffxiclopedia or not? It's weird that it seems to be a legit link (from mousing over; I didn't click) but also weird that they would make it such an interference.
If its a joke its a really stupid one.
I'm pretty sure it is, I mean really it's April 1st. lol If you disable javascript it'll go away preventing you from "clicking" on it if it's not. Better safe then sorry :o

THEY'RE INFECTED! DON'T BELIEVE THEM! IT'S ALL CONSPIRACY TO STEAL YOUR M...
all glory to the hypnotoad. Well it's already gone, I believe. So either that many people QQed or it wasn't theirs.
Use some common sense. Why on Earth would anyone trying to infect your computer with a virus use a pop up such as that one? Understandable that some people didn't know it was an April Fool's joke considering its still pretty early, but still >.>;
It popped up for me, and I knew it was ***, considering I was still running FFXI in the background. |
