Facebook

[Donny Dave]

Just be careful of what you post on RailUK, as this person is a member here. Known as a spammer

 

[Dai.]

That comes up as facebook's main page?

 

[ainsworth74]

Oi! What's with this brutal character assassination. Spammer indeed, you wound me sir!

 

[MidnightFlyer]

What's this about?

 

[142094]

Has the page been changed? Can't see what you're on about.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

does it bring up everyone's individual Facebook page when you do it, or just one person? Really confused now guys

 

[Lampshade]

*slow clap*

That URL just brings up the profile of whoever is signed in at the time, if you're not signed in, it'll just show the home screen

 

[the sniper]

does it bring up everyone's individual Facebook page when you do it

Seems like that.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Seems like that.

So yours comes up when you click it? Thank God, i thought everyone had discovered my FB page

 

[Donny Dave]

Bugger, I've been sussed .....

Basically, it's a custom profile URL, that when clicked will show your own profile. When I saw a similar thing the other day elsewhere, I was taken in as well

Anyway, to reassure various people who have sent me a PM, I am not stalking anyone. In fact, I don't know the names of most members on here, so if I had picked someone's profile who is actually a member here, that would have been a pure fluke!

My heart stopped for a minute .... then I read the rest of the thread ...

Well spotted David!

That would explain why it bought up facebooks home page for me..

Now that is cool! Had me going for a moment!

Nearly had a heart attack, and was ready to chastise the original poster when i then read through the rest of the thread.

Grr I don't like him either, forum spamming vac bashing heavy metal spammer!!!

And the Ginger mate in his profile is a member here too

Glad I got a few people going with this prank, even if it was for only a few seconds. I was exactly the same when I saw the joke, thinking "how the **** has he found my profile?" then carried on reading the rest of the thread before replying.

PS. Sticks and stone, etc. If I couldn't take a joke like this, then I wouldn't pull such a prank in the first place :P

 

[Stacey]

Sod chops! Mine came up - wasn't impressed!

 

[37401]

Yeah saw it on WNXX had me thinking wtf untill I read a few more posts

 

[Ivo]

Should've saved it for April Fools Day

(I might do so elsewhere if I remember.)

 

[Mojo]

It didn't work for me; as I'm on mobile it brought up my live feed.

Well spotted David!

Your's wasn't the only one, lol I tell you, a sudden increase in heart rate preasure mixed with a sudden heat rush and a mix of panic really does make you feel alive.

Now, David, never do that again lol. That spammer hoax just went global lol.
