Hi All,
A few posts have been deleted from this thread.
They were not deleted because of any forum rule breaking.
They formed part of a discussion on whether the link to the video in the original post was safe to open. When the concerns proved to be unnecessary, the posts have been removed to prevent derailing the thread.
For those who may still wonder about the video's safety, we can reassure you.
It was hosted at youtu.be rather than youtube.com and concerns were expressed that youtu.be was not a legitimate source and might contain malware. The mod team have done some investigation and can confirm that youtu.be is owned and run by youtube, and it hosts the same youtube videos as the main youtube site. Yout.be was introduced as a way to increase the speed at which customers can access the videos and shorten the code needed for the videos. The '.be' designation shows that the sight is located in Belgium.
For anyone who wants a better explanation, this link will explain it better than I can!

In the meantime, please return to your former programming and let the Fat Discussion recommence...
Having said that, thank you to those who raised these concerns. It is always better to err on the side of caution and Report anything that you think may be a security risk. In addition, it is sensible for us all to keep our anti-virus software up to date and regularly run full scans whatever sites we visit (says the person who has her computer automated to run a full scan every few days
).
