Heartbreaking but watch we NEED. To know

And yet the forum usually has people insisting on links to back up any opinion someone might hold.

I was going to try to post a link to a site that explained how to avoid dodgy links. Then I realised nobody would open it.

I suspected it could be something to do with cruelty to animals, (which I would never watch, since it would haunt me for ever) so that’s why I wanted to know.

Sure you meant well Bluebell, but I never open any link from anyone,

It’s not unreasonable to want to know what you’re going to read or see if you click on a link. I think GNHQ should establish a rule where posts that are just links get deleted.

BlueBelle, why don’t you repost the thread with an explanation in the first post? Then we can focus on the actual issue.

Contrary lot!

Namsnanny my bank balance may not be alive but that's nothing to do with the link it's to do with reckless Christmas spending and a half price event involving Christmas light up reindeer in homebase .

Posters are always putting links on GN, including me.

Perhaps we shouldn't click on any of them.

Sort. Don’t click on links unless there’s more I for that that. Don’t want to take the risk of having my computer hacked.

And penniless.?

I clicked on it and am still alive.

with all due respect, I clicked on it and I am now dead

?Ah but is your bank balance?

Has anyone clicked on my link - it's very safe.

It takes you to what BlueBelle posted

A lot of fuss this Sunday morning!

Yes Alegrias you’re right about the title of the thread. I hadn’t studied it before. No criticism of Bluebelle but it’s exactly the sort of error you get in the title of a dodgy email.

I'm not getting at BlueBelle. Like others here, I have received messages purportedly from people I know personally that turned out to be phishing or worse.

You don't see the padlock until after you've clicked on the link.

The link is safe! Stop making a song and dance………

No I won’t be clicking links,

Exactly Glammanana Same here, I’ve received links on fb and messenger from trusted friends only to find out they had been hacked. Luckily I never open them, so nothing personal.

And sorry about this Bluebelle, but the grammar errors in the title of the thread.

I think Bluebelle has been on here for long enough for us to know she's a bona fide poster.
Unless she has been been hacked by a seagull, of course.

Aw, sad story.

There are some very odd things on GN to be fair Alegrias and I still click on it

There are many stories on the internet of the Stolen Generations, some from ABC or National Museum of Australia so if anyone wants to know more then resources are available.
Check out Noel Pearson too.

If there is a lock symbol at the left hand side of the link should that mean it is secure?

I clicked on it and am still alive.

I wouldn’t click on it,either. The number of dodgy sites seems to have exploded recently.
