Just had a very strange thing, I presume it was an ad.
A white and blue circle appeared at the botm of the page and followed it when I scrolled, it was for some sort of Survey site. I didn't read it properly, but then it timed out and disapeared.
It's not the sort of thing people like on hear, so I hope it isn't a regular occurance.
AFAIK we've not commissioned anything like that so perhaps it was a stray 3rd party ad. If it doesn't happen again I'd assume it was an anomaly
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
Cool, i wouldn't expect you to have commissioned that, but thought I would raise it just in case.
I'll look out for it, and get more details it it appears again.
These PCs are pretty clean of junk and heavily monitored, so it shouldn't be anything lurking in the background.
It appeared again. It's Flash.
It's by safecount.net and gives my this URL when clicked:

I just got one here. I killed it too quickly to read it propoerly but it appeared to be a 'floating' flash advcert for Orange networks.

Totally off topic but relevant to the screen cap.
I've been trying to fix characters not displaying properly on various articles - more so here than anywhere else.
I thought it was a Firefox issue but it seems its doing it in IE too - The two question marks either side of Buy and Try - what are they meant to be and why don't they display properly?
I'm trying to get that ad to display so I can work out where it's from, but I'm struggling :S
Still, I'm a little closer to figuring it out, thank you.

‘Buy and Try’
HEXUS.channel has been messed up since day one when it comes to character encoding
It's an encoding issue when stuff from the main site gets posted into the forum. One I've resolved in development but haven't rolled out as it's not exactly a critical issue

ISO-8859-1 & UTF-8 clash by any chance?
And another...

Oooh, lovely.
I'm going to be making some significant changes tomorrow, all being well, so let's see what happens then.
