Are there two PPrune URLs?
I am able to access a plausible PPrune site by typing (P)PPRUNE which brings up what seems to be an up to date set of forums , but when I try to add to a forum it tells me that I haven't logged in.
If I do the www.pprune.org URL it all works fine. Whats the score with the org.uk one? cheers (slightly more confused than normal) ST |
Thanks for pointing this out - I have passed the info on to IB.
If you have entered a username and password there I would change it on the proper PPRuNe.org - just a precaution. SD |
I always assumed it to be an alternative address for the main PPRuNe site. Has it been harvesting my details?
The website there contains this: <HTML> <HEAD> <title> (P)PPRUNE</title> <meta name="keywords" content=" "> <meta name="description" content=" "> </HEAD> <FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" FRAMESPACING=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0> <FRAME SRC="http://www.pprune.org" SCROLLING="AUTO" NORESIZE FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0 MARGINHEIGHT=3 MARGINWIDTH=3> <noframes> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFCB97"> <font face="verdana" color="navy" size="2"> <P> </p><P> </p><P> </p> <center> <h2>pprune.org.uk<br> Your browser does not support frames.<BR> To view our web site click here:<BR> <a href="http://www.pprune.org"> http://www.pprune.org </a> </h2> <P> </p><P> </p> </center> <P> <b> For more information contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]"> [email protected] </a> </P> <p> <a href="http://www.freeparking.co.uk/"> <img src="images/fptiny.jpg" border="0"> </a> </P> </font> </BODY> </noframes> </FRAMESET> </HTML> |
So who is 'Ross Williams'?

Curious. After reading this I hopped straight across to the .org.uk version and it welcomed me as being already logged in (as Bern Oulli). It looks exactly like this one.
|
As far as I can see, it's simply a redirection to PPrUNe.org, but it is not operated by IB.
It may well be harmless, but clever things can be done with invisible frames, so treat with caution. SD |
Well they point to different IP addresses.
Results from ping and tracert show: www.pprune.org -> 67.201.16.181 (P)PPRUNE -> 72.1.201.152 and appears to terminate in Canada. :ooh: |
