Brad Dorsey Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Is there a new private message system on these forums which requires clicking to download some kind of file? I have been getting a clickable box that indicates that I have a new private message, and that I need to download this thing to receive the message. I would like to know if it is legitimate and safe before I click it. If I click on the old envelope icon at the top of the page to the left of my name, I don't find any new messages.
gowan Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 When I hover the cursor over this "View Messages" panel I see a box with an X in it and the caption "don't show this ad again" comes up. I also see a URL at the bottom of the screen for google ad services, so it probably isn't dangerous. But it is not something created by Maestronet unless they are outsourcing the private messages function.
fiddlesurgeon Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 In short, its a ad, the price of supporting this wonderful forum with no subscription cost.
gowan Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 I just now looked at Brad's post above and now there is an ad for sheetmusicplus rather than for a google message management system
