Issues with the New Post button

[admin]

Oddly, I have never even seen a New Posts button until now. I've been using the What's New. What's the difference?

I had to go up and look for one to see what you guys were talking about and now I see that they are right next to each other. That just shows how unlikely I am to explore and try new things. Now I'm hovering the cursor over it and can't bring myself to click!! What if it is much better than the other one? What if it takes to the same Yahoo page with Parker and then somehow know something is dreadfully wrong with my computer? What if???

Ok, I'm not clicking it and I'm going to go plant cotton now. See you guys later.

LOL. This cracked me up.

I took the plunge and clicked it myself...
Nothing crazy happened and my computer did not explode, just brought me to where it's supposed to bring me, no Yahoo page.



Anyway, considering this is an isolated issue to only one user I'm 100% confident that the problem is not a forum specific issue. (Although adware/spyware could seemingly effect only certain sites/features that you use in your browser) Billygoat is most likely right, adware/spyware can do some very strange and unusual things.

I recommend the following.

1 - Clear your browser cookies, browser cache, and search history.

2 - Download Malwarebytes (free version is fine). Best freeware piece of antivirus/spyware/adware software there is. Then run it.

3 - THEN download and run superantispyware.

NOTE - Make sure to do it in that order... Malwarebytes first.

4 - Restart your system. (Physically shut down your computer or laptop and start it up again.)

5 - Run Malwarebytes one more time (sometimes it doesn't catch everything until a second run after a full restart.)

That should do it... But if it does not, certainly post here afterwards and someone will most likely help you identify whatever is causing these annoyances for you.
