Why all the posts from Intuit now?

[480sparky]

Why are we being flooded by posts from Intuit all of a sudden..... post that have nothing to do with photography?

No one has reported/linked to any, and I wonder if you're seeing them when you're not logged in.
You'll see more advertising on the forums if you're not logged in.

You can't report them. :er: I'd say the forum's been hacked. Member name is Intuit, and it's a link to their site.

Here's the links to some:

http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...ap=0&prx_rk=635176561954908000&prx_t=43053646

And it's not advertising / spam... they're POSTS.

Look at the profile - Sponsored Post

I use Chrome and am not seeing those posts when I go to the forum thread listing pages.
I do see the posts when I click on the links you reported.

Sponsored Post means ....zip....

It's just ploy by the spammers to make it look official.

Why does the username not show up as a member?


Oh, another one!

A POS System that does it all. Now you can try it for free.

Yeah - it's spam. I don't see them within the "New Posts" but I can see them when I browse through the forums. Same thing weather I'm using Chrome or Firefox.

They aren't a member. It's a sponsored post

A 'tell' is that there is no Report triangle, and some other TPF Staff icons regular members don't see are also missing.

It is apparently a glitch with the forum software that logged in members see it, but from what I can see is a legitimate post that TPF Administration will have to address.
That likely won't happen until tomorrow.

I think I recall a similar situation about 18 months ago.

I guess I missed that part in the TOS when I signed up. :er:

Sparky, your Quickbooks subscription expired... They are just reminding you. Because they know you really, really want to send them some more money.

Hey gang,
This part of an ad placement campaign, and it is paid advertising, but members shouldn't see it, and they should be a lot less frequent. I'll get the nerds on it asap. (By "Nerds", I mean people that make way more money than me.)
