Hi,
As some of you may have read in my post from yesterday I had a bit of a problem with some "fake" themes. These themes apparently copies of legitimate themes. The only difference was about a week after installing them it suddenly implements some coding to advertise stuff. It might be possible there could have been malicious software attached to their links even. Thanks to Andrea for pointing out that the theme I had as my home page was one of these copies.
My question today is - Is there a list of "trusted" sites to get themes from? Conversely, is there a "blacklist" of sites that are none to use these practices?
Whether there is or isn't a list I would like to share the address of the site where I got the themes.
http://www.templatesbrowser.com
The specific problem was it added unremovable links to what looked like a French Casino. Again though, who knows just what bad stuff was contained in the files or the site it linked to. So, I would strongly suggest avoiding themes from that site.
I am now down by 80 or so themes that i had to delete. Anyone know of good safe links to themes?
Thanks,
Gene :-)
