Resolved Question

What is going on with your site?

by Aug 23, 2011 5:35AM PDT

When I access your site from a msg you send me, I get the page and then it transforms to numbers, letters, code, unreadable garbage.

I have copied the page of garbage I get and the web site address in your email that I access. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I did not get your reply to my message in which I copied and sent the page of garbage that I am getting and the web site as you requested.
In answer to your previous question, I am not getting this on any other site that I access.
Also, I get this every time I access any page on this site.
As I said, I can back-arrow and get the correct page after I get the junk page.
That is how I am able to reply to your message.
When I right-arrow, sometimes I get the garbage page back or I get "session has expired".

I think you're the only one who ever gets this.

Try a different browser (choose from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, all free).

I tried Chrome and the problem did not appear.
I have also contacted my password manager, LastPass and it appears the problem may theirs, I was told that they are investigating.

So rephrasing the question ...

leads to "What is going on with your PC?". I hope you're not offended by this turn of events.

That 'garbage text'...
by John.Wilkinson Aug 28, 2011 7:39AM PDT

Just so you know, that "garbage text" was account information normally sent to your browser and used to log you in in the site. However, it was badly formatted and should never actually be displayed to you. That increases the likelihood that it is an issue with LastPass, your login manager. Regardless, hope you get it sorted out.

Regards,
John


P.S. Please do not share that "garbage text" with others - it can give them the ability to access your CNET account without your knowledge.

- Can you give the exact link you click on?
- Are all other pages on this and all other sites OK?

It happened right here as I was reading your post, the page turns into garbage as before. I am able to use back arrow to get back to the page and then when I use the fwd arrow, it is junk again.
