Btw, your sig link currently stretches across the whole width of the post... assuming that's not deliberate, could you change it to this:
code:
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.manthorp.co.uk"><font color="#FF0000">www.manthorp.co.uk</font></a></div>

Which will mean only the text itself is linked, and so I wont keep accidentily clicking on the whitespace and opening your page. :)

In addition to what Xen and Pete said, can those affected disable their PM popup as well as the stats display.

 

Also post your anti-virus of choice and try disabling it temporarily or white listing tehforum.co.uk and report back the results.

Soz, I hadn't noticed I'd done that. I will change it.

Is it more than just me?

EDIT: Ah, missed that Manny said he had it on one of his machines.

You hit the nail on the head!

 

I just uninstalled 0.0.14 and reverted to 0.0.13, same problem.

 

just on the off chance I checked the add-ons thing and it seems that Skype installed an extension without telling me. Uninstalled that and everything's working again!

Hmmm, that's the second time I've heard of that Skype plugin, both times in the context of it fucking things up.

:S

I've got the Skype extension on both, though. I'll try removing from Baby Blue & report back.

From what's been posted. It seems it's the Skype extension on Firefox in XP.

Probably explains why it works fine for me in FF then. Latest version under XP, but no Skype extension.

/Yes'm./

However, Firefox still works on Little Blue with the extension in place. It's an earlier version of Skype, 3.6.0.248, whereas the version on Baby Blue is 3.8.0.115.

So if you value the extension (which I have never employed - it turns phone numbers into Skype buttons) just install a legacy version of Skype, I guess. Or form a mighty lobbying force, march up to Skype's doors and demand change NOW!

The bounders!

Actually, I have a feeling that the install routine does ask.

Did I put it in this folder? I can't remember. Certainly didn't mean to. Oops if so.
