I've searched for a post regarding using Guestbooks/Comments Box other than our own, safe one, here on The Hill.
I'm sure I read of avoiding having an outside Guest Book on your page.
Could someone advise me on this one please.
Thanks in advance ... Pam

Hi Pam,

I found what I think you are looking for. Just type guestbooks in the search box on this page. Maybe someone else will suggest something too. Take care....Ruth

I've done that Ruth but still haven't come across the answer that I'm after.
It's in there somewhere though.
If you've found anything that looks like an answer, please direct me to it.
Thanks Ruth.
Cheers ... Pam.

Here is info on this; to sum it up, anyone can sign it (they don't need to be a member) and a member can sign and say they are anyone they want to be. http://notoverthehill.com/forums/display_topic/id_2178/Is-This-Person-A-Member-dangers-of-3rd-par ty-guestbooks/

EB, thank you soooo much. 

Would you believe I've spent hours looking.
My Friend has just put one on her page and I'm concerned and want to pass this info on for her.

Thank you again.

Cheers .... Pam

Pam...... I know who's guestbook you were concerned about..... Well here's what I did.... I goggled myself see if found anything and yes I did... found links to my hill, C8 forum and some my other pages.... I opened the hill link it went straight to my homepage just as I have it. I was able to click on her name from my friends list and then signed her guest book as guess who from anywhere...could have left a silly photo but I didn't.. I wasn't logged into the Hill while doing this...... I was able bring up your page from my friends list but couldn't leave a comment message....

So I'd think twice maybe three times before using that guestbook...... If it's that easy to sign...

This just brings it home to us how much trouble EB and TC go to, in keeping The Hill safe for us.
We can choose to put these Widgets etc on our pages BUT we really do need to check into them before we do.
THIS Blog by TC enlightens us to the dangers of Fun Web Products and the sad thing is, there are so many of these 'sleazy' Sites out there.
With the 'outside' Guest Book, I wondered what they might be doing with all of the information that we gave to them, to have our name and photo on our Friends Guests Lists.
Our Friend has now removed her outside Guest Book, mostly just to keep you and I happy Eva but I'm pleased that she has.
