There are some new ways to share ROBLOX with your friends, except a couple major issues arise.

External Media

Fake Emails

You can literally send emails which appear to be from emails which aren’t yours. Here’s a good example:

And when it’s sent…

Happy scamming! …hopefully it’s fixed before then though…?

Annoying automatic refresh upon loading

Another issue is that when these sharing buttons load, one of them refreshes the contents on the page. I don’t think that’s such a great idea for people with slower computers.

the first one with the email shows it’s from gigya-ugc.com

Thanks for the report, I pinged ostrichSized about it and it looks like he turned off the social sharing widget for the time being. I think that ROBLOX must have had to authorize gigya in order to use the social bar, and this authorization results in some email clients recognizing emails from gigya as legitimate emails, and they don’t do the anti-spoofing magic.
