I was wondering if this is just me or a glitch of the site.

I don't get that message, maybe your browser is to blame. It can't handle the Newegg ad. :p
 
that browser probably does come with flash?
add the plugin and it would just run the ad
not ask you to download it

turning off that download option with that browser though....
 
I get same error. Using avant browser ("front end" for IE), it has the option to disable flash animations. When they are disabled, I get this prompt. When it is enabled, it of course works fine. Previous forum didnt have this issue. No other website has this issue. I have no problems just enabling it for hardforum since your flash ads arent too annoying.
 
The approach I took was a quick jaunt into proxomitron and just replaced "hardocp.swf" with nonsense. Saves the banner from loading and worrying about flash. I'll work on a slightly better proxmitron filter that actually removes the whole banner area, at the moment it just 'page cannot be found's the area, but it's a satisfactory intermin measure.

of course the vast majority of the time
thats the newegg ad
and quite often, Ive spotted specials I at least wanted to checkout, if not actually buy

its one of the best "fits" Ive seen for a forum
however Ive had just about enough of ScubaSteve up there :p
