So apparently there is a bug floating around ff.net. And it seems that clicking on user's profiles will do bad things. And possibly, the admins might have to wipe the site? But I'm guessing that might be worst case scenario. The admins, as usual, have been silent.
At any rate, viruses, or rumors of viruses, are never good. So you might want to consider backing up anything you don't want to lose. You know, just in case.
A lovely reader let me know earlier today, otherwise I'd have had no idea! And there are lots of posts out there about it now, so you can search it for more info.
On reddit/r/fanfiction, one post tells how to block the javascript. But there are problems with that as well. Like buttons not working. Ugh. Another post says just to not click on the profiles.
Honestly...I don't know.... I'm just making pdf copies of what I don't want to lose. It's a real pain, but I don't want to lose my fav stories, reviews and pms.
Anyway, hopefully this will all blow over, and ff.net won't experience any noticeable changes. But just in case....
Also, I've been meaning to repost my stories on wattpad. Anyone use any different sites regularly? As a writer or a reader? Wattpad? AO3? Maybe now is the time to go ahead and start up my accounts again.
