Hey not to call Meryl out or try to embarrass her but thanks to Meryl and Erin I was able to determine what was causing their malware issue that donatelife brought up on the forum.

Funny enough the warning that some of your browsers are putting out is because of the cake icon Meryl uses in her profile! The icon in question gets pulled from a site that is listed for serving malware at some point in the past:

http://icons.iconator.com

But if you right click on Meryl's avatar and copy the image location you will see that it is being served NOT from our site (www.eat.at) but rather from:

Wow! That's weird! I've had that icon for so long. Thanks for deleting it! BTW, did you

receive something from me in the mail recently?

 
Unless you think I can still use it?

I've gotten kind of attached to it. smileys/smile.gif

 
um

As far as I'm concerned it is fine because there is no way that a gif file can do any harm via a web browser.
But it seems that some users get scared off by the browser warnings so if nothing else it can be an annoyance to other users.

So you can use that one I just posted or if you like if you can find that you like as much or more I'll put it on our local server so you'll be sure that there are no problems.

Thank you Meryl - for everything.

That one looks good, but as a chocolate purist, I need to find an all chocolate one. LOL

 
Okay, I'll look for another one. I'm glad you received it - just wanted to check, because the mail

has been so inconsistent lately.

 
I just looked around - it's really hard to find a good one that's only 64x64! Most are min.75x75.

 
Ooh, that's a great one, and very sweet of you, but I wouldn't want to deprive you of your icon!

 
Meryl, never thought it was something that you did

just happy that others more computer articulate than me figured it out. hope that you are beating the heat! lisa
