Be careful of what people leave in your comment section...

I have been pretty lucky with comments. But I did have one comment that was linked to music and scared the crap out of me when I forgot to turn my speaker volume down. I had to delete that comment. I hope people don't take offense if I delete those type of comments. :)

Maybe you should point out the culprit to the myLot admins. I personally don't understand why people do things like that. Just to annoy the others? He/she may lose a few friends, then...

You should not only delete it. But report it to my lot if it happens to you. I am sorry someone has the desire to do something along that line.

I am not familiar with the term "shout box" but I assume it is a promotional link. I have noticed this in some people's comment boxes, but have not run into a warning. I would possibly go one step further and delete him as a friend, because self promotion is not very friendly. He could pm you if he wanted you to see what he is promoting. He is on your friend list.

There are too many people on here that are NOT using mylot as a community for discussion, but using it as a way to get referrals or try to promote something. It's very transparent. I almost wish you could tag certain discussions so that you wuld never see them again. BUt thanks for that piece of advice. I had no idea it was getting that bad.

Wow - thanks for the warning. Not only did I not realize there were comments on my profile, I didn't realize people could potentially add code like that.

I'm sorry but I'm a little bit slow with these things, what is a shout box? I don't think anyone has put anything bad on my page, I have a few pictures and some music my friends have put on. Will I know if someone sends me something like this? Than kyou for letting me know this is happening I will keep an eye on my friends comments.

I had seen that kind of shout boxes lately and me too was not really enjoy that kind of attachments in my comments pages. I think you just do thje right thing by delete it once you found it.Am sure it will get banned if it was found to be disturbing to the forum .

I am sorry my friend for sounding slow on this topic but please can you tell me what "shout box" means? Sorry tos ound stupid but what does it mean? Have I got a shout box on my profile and I have I been doing it unaware? If I know about it then I can look out for it the future, so thanks for the warning and for being patient in explaining what a shout box is!

luckily i dont i havent recieve any shout box from friends. thanks for that warning. i have my own shout box but i only put it in my own profile and not to others comment box and i dont inted to. i think some users put it just to have an easy and fast acces to thre friends shoutbox. but i agree with you, if that will only cause problem for others to visit your profile then it just be deleted. instead roaming your profile they will just go to other profile.

Okay I've been getting those too. I wondered what they were all about. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing this peice of information with us. That will be helpful and useful.

so far I have yet to get any Thank you for the info and i hope that this stopswho ever is doing it

Thanks so much for warning us about this! I didn't realize that this was happening, since I do visit my profile page daily but I have Firefox installed with the noscript extension working, which means that I don't usually get any popups, and I hadn't noticed if someone has left me that particular comment. A friend just told me that someone has left one, so I'll have to go into my profile and delete it. I don't want to cause everyone to wish to avoid my profile page because of getting frustrating popups. I do definitely recommend getting the Firefox browser and the noscript extension to make your browsing experience after, anyway, though. I havent had a single popup since installing it, unless I am using a different browser for some reason.

i dont know what a shout box is and i dont have any comments. but if i ever get one i will be sure to get read of it. i have few friends and would like to not lose them because of someone post stuff on my comments.

Blueskies one of my Friends just asked for help on this how to turn it of. I don't understand why this Person is doing this and he can't be a Friend if he/she goes doing things like that. I would actually delete him from my Friends List if I where you.

Yes I agree there is one friend who does not even respond to my post and one time i say a comment she made and it was only for promoting her sites, i deleted it immidiately

Nice discussion, I didn't even know what a "shout box" was....lol But thanks to Ryanrudolf I do now..hehe I had seen it on his profile but didn't know what it was called. Wouldn't it be easier to use gably?? Here's a link to BittyBiddy's discussion about it. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/718003.aspx

Why don't you give us his user ID so that if he comments on our profile we will delete it.It will be really a great help.We will first check what you have said is right then we all here on mylot discussus what to do with him.

could it be a virus? on myspace i was told to check my pictures to c if there were any i didnt recognise as these were hidden viruses. i did have one so luckily i deleted it intime. mayb thts wat this is?
