This does not happen often but it has happened to me more than once.
I was posting replies to the Female Gamers thread without the prompt but all of a sudden, there it is and I can't reply without the download, which I won't allow.

Any reason for this to happen Ziroc?

It was suggested that I might have a virus but like I said, it doesn't happen often and should not at all, much less in a thread that I have replied in brefore without it happening.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

when it comes up next time. click the button to accept it. then when it asks you where to download it to. get the file name. then cancel the download.
mabey we could figure out what it is

I've never had it happen, either, but next time write down whatever it is they want you to download, and post it in this thread. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/frown.gif Sorry I couldn't help more.

I got the prompt when trying to reply to "Female Gamers" today as well as Adam Warlock's post saying Hi to everyone here. Other threads seem to be unaffected but I have not attempted to reply to them all.
