Default Track Platinum Giveaways Overlay

What's with this overlay everytime I open a thread in Share Your Shots? It wants my email address, and I don't arbitrary put my email in anything. I used a dummy email and then it wants my phone number. And it just doesn't go away. I only experience this in Share Your Shots. Is anyone else getting this? There should at least be a close buttons or something in this obvious ploy for a spammer clothed as an advertiser. I'm not a happy DPSer about this.

Now it appears to be gone. But I'm still unhappy that it was happening.

I didn't see it, but I'll definitely make sure that Sime sees this thread.

I got an "install flash on internet explorer" overlay window that wouldn't close this morning. I use Firefox so figured something was up. The overlay wouldn't close and the only way I could get out was to hit the back button in my browser.

I got the same thing. It asked me to download & install an update to my flash player. I just closed Firefox & restarted.

This is unusual and something I haven't seen myself. Thanks for the heads up.

I haven't seen anything like this but if I go to anyone profile my Opera locks up and I have to hit Stop and then reload for it to work and this has only been happening the past 4 or 5 days????
But nothing about entering your Email or Phone Number at all?????

My only regret is that I did not capture some screen shots.
