• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

OT...Flight Simulator sponsored ads popping up here?

For a work around you can go into Settings, Safari, Advanced, and turn JavaScript to OFF. That should work for SOH.

Not for me - my Chrome on Android tablet doesn't use Java.

According to want I've read Android does not use pure Java coding but rather a derivative of Java which may be close enough to allow this bug to infect devices of a certain version of this derivative. Obviously Androids are also susceptible to this critter that's taken hold of us.
 
You are definitely searching in the right direction Ickie, as it has disappeared from my android phone as well.

Thanks for your efforts!

Huub

Thanks Duckie. Whatever it is, it seems to have gone now. Well done that man!
 
Funny, the ads disappeared on my IPad this morning. Everything was hunky dory until I opened the first post in the library thread. Maybe something in there?

Merry Christmas a few days early.

Once you have recharged I would be interested know if there is an explanation (in lay-terminology) for what it was.

Thanks again for the KO.
