What to do when your forum is all like... Huh?! (Pic heavy)

So... I had just finished posting to the valentines Mad Lib threads because the sams are posted now when I noticed... I seemed to have stolen some other user's Samanays and... Pokemon?

Image

When I scrolled up, I noticed that not only had Orasteele joined me in illicit Samanayr pilfering, she'd also apparently hijacked a set of her own Pokemon...and raided someone's Photobucket or Flickr account for good measure.

Image

Britain shared a lot of the same booty from Orasteele's Samanayr raid, and even Silvermoondragon had decided to abscond with some of LvSoulFriend and Jennalyn's sams:

Image

It all went downhill from there though.

When I went back to the main forum directory... things had gotten a little more bizarre.

Fortunately, it was only the Sams forums that seemed to be affected by this odd data corruption, and only for me; Amazon's computer was unaffected. So I continued my browsing on other sites... until Sam headshots started to replace items in my inventory on Aywas. SAMS WERE TAKING OVER THE INTERNETS!!11!

I was torn between "Whoa, cool!" and "What the...?!"

In short, dear forum-goers, if Samanayrs begin to invade the internet, it's time to empty your browser's cache!
There are guides for how to do this for your particular browser. I use chrome, and I have to go to the wrench icon, to "options", to "under the hood" and click "clear browsing data." Your mileage may vary.

Since doing that, the escaped headshots have returned to their rightful places and a helpful band of Sharians have managed to return the pilfered sams to their rightful owners. I know we've joked about stealing each other's Sams, but Sam-rustling is an offense punishable by lashings with a wet noodle! Don't do it!

Okay, well. I'm done being random now, because my browser is done being random. Have a great night!

Heh yeah it was crazy. Oak and I were going back and forth between my computer and her's, trying to piece together which Sams came from what signature. :roll:

I've never had that problem, but if I do too much internet searching, my Firefox window header/title turns into japanese characters.. I've found the best way to deal with that is to close firefox, then reopen it after it has cleared its own memory cache. (If I manually clear the cache/temp files/whathaveyous, FIrefox forgets all the tabs I have open)
