| Okay, so above where we post, I keep seeing this thing where it says I have a new message, and to click for my inbox, and it seems to be part of the ad. When I click it, it asks for me to download something, and my computer's anti-virus detects a threat. This may be alot, but is there anyway it could be removed or reported so newer members (or even ourselves )don't fall into somekind of trap? Thanks(:

-Cody He cant remove it. It's an ad. It's not false advertising, because it's in the same spot as an ad. If it was a PM, the PM button would blink. Just don't click it. | |

| Since this site does not have it's own domain, Forumotion uses advertisements to get money and also to pursuade owners of their sites to buy the domain to get rid of ads.

-Kaito Exactly. You can't rid it, unless you pay for it. | |

| Just try not to click it, the only time you get a pm is when the letters PM flash | |
