    I've seen a few Chinese members embed .gif images into posts that appear to be broken.

    I've reported the posts but I was just wanting to know if there could be malicious intent? Surely you can't send malware/virus with images?

    Knew there had to be something sinister in it. Saw another one of these posts today!

    Warning to Chinese members, you're only a stone's throw away from Australia <evil laugh>.
