I just clicked on a post and got this warning message

Just done a google search and it's happening on loads of forums. Must be something to do with where the smilies come from not tef :)

 
I have been informed of this happening on "Google Chrome". Is that what you are using?

I am going to ban all planet smilies addresses.

If you wish to use any smilies from there, you will either have to download them to your PC or upload them to a photo hosting site, such as, Photobucket etc.

EDIT - I have now banned that site.

Just to add that Talk.ElectricianForum.co.uk is safe and that the site Planet Smilies has been compromised. All websites that contain links for smilies from that website (in the thousands) will have this message show.
