Mods please delete this thread...
I don't believe that Steve would have ok'ed that as news, so the main site must have been hacked or something.

Here's what happened.
The news submission page has started to be hit by spambots. They've obviously decoded the text-image thing I put on there (which admittedly was a beta version). So it ends up getting submitted as news.
A bug has also crept into the admin side of the site now where sometimes when approving multiple news stories at once (in this case approving one and rejecting two) it approves the first rejected story as well. Not quiet sure how its done that as I'd not changed that code since Version 7 of the site was launched and most of it was the same as V6, so you're talking about the bext part of 18 months.
Time to add some more checks for V8. Thanks for pointing it out though, I took it off the site right away, forgot to check if it got as far as posting here. For once the Proboards "News-bot" actually worked as intended lol
