What the f**k is this? I've just opened the WrongPlanet administrator page as usual to administer user accounts a spam tab has opened to HotChalk's Lesson plans by teachers for teachers!! !! !! !

Does anyone else get this spam tab too or is it targeted only at WrongPlanet site admins?

Ah good, this has been driving me mad every time I attempt to login

It's been going on for about five days or so, where a huge popup appears with some sort of teacher plan stuff
Do I look like a teacher? :P

I've been using different browsers: Firefox for use as TallyMan and Internet Explorer for administering the site to keep things separate. However, I've just found out I can combine the admin access with TallyMan access within Firefox without the browser getting confused, so hopefully that is the end of that annoyance. Firefox's Adblock Plus and NoScript should keep the crap away while I'm in admin. It is a daily chore getting rid of unwanted third party spam from the site without having to wade through spam generated from WP itself to get to it!

Oh yes...my FF still doesn't like WP, it crashes when I try to load pages there.

The cap should only allow this to display once a month per user. Let me go ahead and adjust it to make sure that's happening.

^ Probably wouldn't cap it for me anyway if it is cookie based. I value my privacy and have an aversion to being tracked so have my browsers set to delete all cookies on exit. Anyway I've switched by to Firefox now for WP admin work, so it shouldn't ever appear again.
