[QUOTE="beardie, post: 1982283, member: 3"] It was brought to my attention by a new member (thank you, [USER=113162]@LaurieA[/USER] ) that the email notification of the Welcome Conversation (aka PM/DM), contained links to a religious website (some Buddhist church). I had no idea that this was happening, nor was it my intent. So, for any who might have been upset or concerned about that, [B]I do sincerely apologize.[/B] As for what happened... The default "admin" account for the site was set to "BD.org". This is a common shorthand I use for BeardedDragon.org. With the email notifications about a "new conversation", the username was included saying "BD.org started a new conversation with you". In addition, as part of the message, I note that the BD.org account is not regularly monitored. Well, email clients, including many webmail sites, will convert what it thinks is a domain name into a website link, even though I didn't make them links explicitly. So, those became links to BD.org, which is a Buddhist church website. Thank you again to LaurieA for letting me know about this. I'm somewhat embarrassed, but very happy it wasn't a link to much worse (I can think of a few things that might be more concerning). To avoid this in the future, I've changed the username to "BD .org" (with a space) and modified the Welcome message accordingly, which should avoid having email clients turning that into a link.
