Anyone receiving this error message at the top of a page?
Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path]/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 131
 
No, not today.
 
No but I noticed that I seem to get the error (although I am not positive it's exactly the one you posted) whenever someone puts their email in a post. That has just been for the last month or so. Before that we could see the posts with emails in them like any other post.
 
I have and I agree with Beth it seems to happen when there is an email in the message.
 
Yup, it is the email that Sheila implanted.
