Problem with the board?

[WeeGord]

Earlier on I noticed a few occasions where the site appeared to be asking me to download a text file on my desktop PC.

Didn’t really think much about it just kept refusing but it’s now happened on my mobile browser too. Is there some sort of IT issue with the site at the moment?

No problems for me today on either my laptop, tablet or phone.

Not encountered that.

I've had this on my android phone today, but I just thought I kept on accidentally clicking on an advert with my clumsy button bashing.

I’m getting that on my iPhone. Needs looking in to please.

I've been getting this today on my Macbook using Safari.

 

[FabioPorkpie]

Yep, I’ve been getting it on my iPhone today also

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

Yes. Both on the laptop and mobile. Worrying!!

 

[DearChicago]

Yes on my iPhone.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

I had it pop up once this morning on I phone just after I’d read this thread

 

[Subbuteo_171]

Yep. iPad I’ve seen it on, asking to download a text file.

Definitely an issue.

 

[Subbuteo_171]

Just got it again.

“Do you want to download text file F.txt.js“ pop up.

Just got it again.

“Do you want to download text file F.txt.js“ pop up.

same here too, needs sorting.

Looks like I've been the exception rather than the rule having not had this issue (yet!).

OK. We made a technical change to ad text files yesterday - ironically at the behest of google claiming that people might possibly click on the adverts by accident - I argued I think I would be the first to know if people did that. I will see if something has changed by accident or there is a problem with one of the ads.

 

[rob_fmttm]

I don't think it would be possible to do a screen shot of this would it?
Just wonder how to start investigating where it is on the site.
Was it when you first logged in, for instance?

 

[rob_fmttm]

OK have reported “Do you want to download text file F.txt.js“ pop up.
Hopefully that will be something amiss in the changes made yesterday as it seems to have only just started happening. I will let you know when the culprit has been found and eliminated.

 

[rob_fmttm]

If anyone does get a screen shot it would help.
