Just the forum thread listing, it just happen again when i came to this section thread listing. I did not click on the bar so i have no idea what it is. Just trying to find out if another members have had it happen.

It is not a pop up block, is a download request by the way. I will try to get a ss.

You may want to check your computer for spyware, etc as EvoM does not run pop-ups. I've checked for this using 3 different computers on 3 different networks running firefox and IE and cannot reproduce the 'error' you're referring to..

Well, I appreciate the heads-up. I'll try to re-create the event; a screen shot could be helpful next time it happens.

Try using an Internet Explorer that is newer than version 6, they are on version 8 now. Or use firefox and download the addon called noscript. If its due to one of the flash banner ads or anything else you actually have to allow each website address to load. Noscript and adblock are 2 of the best addons you can get to help make your PC secure. Firefox imo is a much better browser than IE....Microsoft crap is just such junk. To much of IE it is integrated into your operating system. I hate how M$ codes their programs.

Might be trying to download an updated flash plug-in, but that's just a guess.

I wasn't talking about popup ads, I'm talking about the flash banner adds you see on the side of each page and in the header at the top of each page. The ads from places like K&N, and Perrin. Pop up ads are an entirely different beast lol.
