  • Macromedia player 8?

    Why in damn blazes is this site trying to get me to download this? I find it all rather forward and completely unbecoming an internet forum. For heaven's sake, could this be taken care of?

    It is probably from the ads, which can be removed by subscribing. I don't seem to get the request to install a new player when using Opera, but IE does.
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

          We need more information in order to determine where this is coming from.

          What browser/version are you using? What page(s) were you visiting when this appeared (addresses/URLs please)? Do you have (a) screenshot(s)? Did you have any other browser windows/tabs open at the time?

            I'm using IE.

            Every page on the forums.

            Screenshot: no, but I can describe it. A grey popup box appears requesting me to download it, with choices yes or no. I went to advanced options and selected never. Now I get a gear with a warning sign at the bottom of IE while on these forums.

            It appears regardless of what else I have open.

                Yeah, that seems to be the problem.

                  I'm getting it every time I open a page.

                  Its a Macro media pop up.

                  Badly affects those of us who *cough* view pages from work because some of us can't use filters on office systems. I don't get it at home - must be linked to an ad. You don't see the ad its linked to.

                  Btw the way I can't download to desktop so it would be a major system blooper if I pressed yes and since it pops up constantly there is a risk of that.

                  It even pops up when I post, like now...

                    I'm not in East Asia anymore. Too many ads.

                        In addition to the information I requested above, the address(es) that the ad(s) point to is/are needed to positively identify the source(s); combined with screenshots, all the better.

                              It's not here today. Don't see anything else different.
