Since I know the Club is more popular, I wrote this here.

Has anyone else been getting a strange download while viewing forums other than the Club?

This keeps popping up in my status bar when posting and it never goes away.

Sorry if that pic stretches your screen, but I want you to be able to read it.

This is bumming me out because it never stops downloading...and will come back every time I post, read, switch forums, etc.

Thanks for the non-troll responses.

SW, you said you do get it, but it deosnt slow you down. That helps. I had never seen wwwclearchannel.com hosting anything here before, but if you have noticed it, I guess it isnt some spam on my PC (you never now these days).

Thanks.

Just noticed, it is not www

Its w-V-w.

Strange....

Also, it explicitly states my screen resolution.

Does it state your res as well, SW?

Okay, I see it now. It's moving too fast for me to tell if it's wvw or www but it's definitely something from Clear Channel.

I only see that when I use IE. Though I regularly use Firefox.

Hopefully Slomo, LJ or Kori could lend a sentence to the affect of...

"Yeah, its just a stupid banner we have. No worries."

Otherwise, I am wondering why something from clearchannel is d/ling from ST.com to all its users.

I'm just guessing but maybe it has something to do with the flash banner.

Clear Channel owns WOAI, which is linked to these forums and employs it's owner's services ... that might have something to do with it?

Or maybe someone posted something in the forum that's linked to a site hosted by Clear Channel?

Or the banner?

Ahhhh...

That definately could be the case. Im not an internet guru, but does wvw strike anyone as an odd way to host files? Or is this sort of prefix-changing common for hosting purposes?

Yeah, yeah...Im just full of fucking questions, I know.

doesn't happen for me, but i think the site is hosted on clearchannel space. not sure though, i have seen images loaded from that site before though, but it usually only takes a second or two.

EDIT: WOAI is a clear channel station, so i imagine mr. and mrs. ellis are paying to have the site hosted by clear channel.

The only time it should slow you down is if clearchannel's site is down or something.
SW is right, it has to do with me working for WOAI and WOAI.com linking to this board.

Bad guess. :lol

WOAI doesn't have anything to do with hosting this site. They just link to it. That .gif is part of a tracking thing to show how many hits they get from us and how many we get from them, etc.

By the way, is it still slowing anyone down right now?

I assume their site was down earlier or something when it wasn't loading for you guys.
