Default Flash push, is it just me??

anybody else getting constant pushes to update adobe flash to allow viewing of some threads on SYS? It freezes me out of everything and I worry that it's some kinda worm?? I tried to do the simple update from the link provided but it never takes the normal course to execute .. ???

I've been getting the same popup for the last couple of days. It only seems to happen when I go to view certain posts. It's rather annoying!

Mike, is there any chance you could send a PM with links to those certain posts you're getting it in? That might be useful for us to see if there's anything lurking around in there.

jack russell same goes if you're noticing it in particular threads.

Nathan de Gargoyles most recent low light portrait was the last one for me, seems very sporadic no rhymes or reason I can notice

Will check and see if I see anything strange over there. Until then, I'd say don't install any flash plugins you see on the site.

And we are working to try to figure out what the problem is.

Ha! Thank you for pointing me over to that thread! I found a script lurking in the last post in there. Can you go over and see if you still get the overlay in that thread now?

I'm off to post for our tech guys about this happening again.
