Firek: We're aware of this and are performing an investigation. Rest assured we will take appropriate action once our investigation is complete.

This may sound vague and generic, but we're on it - please block this users in your account's PM section in the meantime.
Happen with me too. You want any screenies or any other information?

Not sure if Firek is online or just lurking - if you have the screenshots, maybe upload them anyways, just in case?

At the very least it gives the Overlord the chance to see how far this has spread and if it's a spambot maybe where to find it to isolate it. :D

For some reason my "print" button isn't working. Maybe a Windows 8 thing? This makes getting a screenshot rather bothersome.

Before I go to some troubleshoot, I would rather know if it's needed ;-)

By the way, didn't anyone try replying with the same kind of mumbo-jumbo? Would have been a fun "conversation".

Perhaps it's an alien trying to PM home.

What, people still take screenshots by using the Print Screen button and pasting into paint?

I LOVE that tool. Made life SO much easier for this very thing. Best tool Windows has added in the last several versions in my opinion.

Print Screen is still useful for full screen program and some programming software. However, it still have compatibility issue with certain program. Snipping Tool has made my work easier since Windows Vista. One of few positives from that era.

Try doing it on a half-dead Vista laptop that hates you and all you stand for. Paint becomes a Godsend!

Sooooo need to get a working TV monitor for my PC...I miss it (it's been over a month).
