(7,632 posts)I don't even know what a script attack is. I went and looked it up too, lol.
This attack is why everybody needs to join DU and kick in a few bucks every year. I don't even think there is a minimum amount one has to donate to become a star member. Money well spent.
This happened right as the special council appointment was being announced too. Weird, huh?
Some people are afraid of the truth while others celebrate it.

(65,011 posts)I'm guessing i'm one of those who were attacked, because i had a reply deleted by the admins and my post was pretty innocuous. I didn't even mention a single person by name, so not sure how a script would have ID'd my post.
But, everything seems back to normal!

(51,076 posts)such as my email address but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. I tried to send them a small donation, via paypal last night but it didn't go through. I suspect its because of my email address has changed. I left fairpoint.net for vyve for my ISP and with that my old email that I'd had for years went with the change.
Anyways how do I change my info at DU so I can slide a few bucks their way.
I realized yesterday evening Just how much this place means to me for keeping up with the workings of the world stage, ie one orange anus and company in particular. I do have a 10 year old grand daughter that I worry for her future and this orange anus/ menace is making it worse

Once there, just below the account tab, is the line "Account Information Edit"
Click on the word Edit
