don't open any threads with posts by cbackpacksnorth
The board has been attacked, and simply reading the posts connects to malware as images.

In some cases, you can't really help it... I usually click on "Board Index" then "Show New Posts" to see what's been going on since my last visit. If cbackpacksnorth has a new post, it gets opened but my anti-virus/anti-malware program apparently saves my butt by blocking the bad stuff.

cbackpacksnorth is not blocked or banned?

Tight lines,
Bob

Thanks for the heads up. I banned the user and deleted all of the posts that were made.

Good catch, and thanks. I think I deleted posts after being alerted by a previous report, but I sent only a warning after considering a ban. I should have done it the first time. Evidently the user attacked again while I was asleep. Glad others were awake. Thanks again.

For newer members, if ever suspicious of a post or encounter malware in reading one, please use the "report" function.

from the content, he's not worth a warning - spambots don't understand warnings
