    Somewhere, lah.
    When you have items in your trading post, and recieve an neomail from any user linking you to the neopet diary, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

    There's been a vulnerability that allows some kind of script to be placed in the diary that can automatically accept their junk offer on your trading lot.

    Thanks, and safe trading.



    EDIT: After lurking more, apparently, someone placed a CG into the general neo diary

    What location? ;o
    Thanks for the heads-up ><

    Also, to combat CG'ers, when someone asks you to view a particular link, avoid clicking it directly. Always find some way around it. E.g. when someone asks you to view their trades, do so by going to the TP, then looking up their username. Avoid going through the userlookup at all costs.
