Links in the MN contact email?

[Simurgh]

Should the MN email seeking a response to prove you're a human really be containing links to Jeff's twitter posts and photos of an armed SWAT team? Seems a bit tacky to me.

Sorry - a photo. There was only the one.

What email?

(I haven't had any , honestly!)

Sorry, I should have been more specific - it's a link to what appears to be a legitimate part of the site which happens to contain text broken up by clown faced tweet pictures and that SWAT team about to go into a house photo. The more I think about it........

Could you confirm whether that's genuine MN content, HQ ? The more I look at it, it's so tacky, juvenile and (frankly) amateurish that it starts to look like a site breach.

I've just tried a contact us email, and the reply I got is fine. Genuine and the links are ok too.

Have you got the clown-avatared tweet pictures and the SWAT team posing with guns, Culture? (In the first link in the email.)

Yes, it's this page, isn't it?

www.mumsnet.com/info/mumsnet-site-attacks-what-happened-and-what-to-do-next

Which is a legit MN page.

Ah well. That's some style departure for MN - looks as if someone had an attack of The Tackies.

It's just screen shots from twitter explaining what was said.

I dunno, I thought it looks pretty much like any other page:

At least they didn't link to Jeff's special song, I suppose. (I had quite enough of that on the first night.) I just felt my hackles rise at that page and I'm not a particularly sensitive soul.

(Your pic isn't displaying for me, Culture, so I can't comment on it.)
