What is the correct link to the SilkRoad??? There is a caution at the top of the login page about the "hidden wiki link" what is that about?
This is the Book mark I have:
http://ianxz6zefk72ulzz.onion
Is that right or not???

That's the one :)

as MrM said thats the one.
The warning is because a number of people have discovered how easy it is to edit the wiki and set up alternative (presumably hosted by FH) login screens to gather sr user credentials :)
But some simple tests you can apply to say safe: reload the page does the capcha change? many scammers use a fixed jpg.
Also, check the register link, ive not seen a scammer change this yet so they still point to the original sr address (which should be what is displayed in your browser address bar).
Some other indicators, sometimes the css is not copied so the bolden'ed warning text at the top of the page looks a little odd, and for the little more technically minded take a look at the html for clues, i.e. the post address being /whatever.php.

Or you could just type in some fake login info into the form and submit it. For me it took me to the real SR site anyways =)

Indeed, always look at the link what you are logging into. And if you must bookmark it, store tor in a hidden True Crypt Volume.

anyone remember the awesome acronym SR came up with to remember the true web address?
only thing I can recall is something about 72 zebras... 8)
