I've had to download Firefox now to be able to post. I miss Explorer, though. :(

Yeah, sorry, but @#$% like this is ret*d. I know no one here likes the r-word but that's seriously how bad it is. If it keeps up we're going to alienate all the poor bastards that still use Internet Explorer. (Not that I have any choice, the computers at the student union all run IE because our tech department sold their collective souls to Microsoft years ago. Thank God the computers at the public city-run library have Chrome instead.)

Trying to post with Chrome... IE is dead in the water with the Shameful...Vid

OK Chrome works... See the Vid has a header on top of page.

P.S. Pop-up Blocker set to high did not work, nor did adding the Pop-up address to restricted sites.

Could someone post a screenshot of this? I've been trying to see what's wrong but no one has provided me a screenshot or an exact browser version string that this is happening on.

All the reports I've gotten are vague and don't exactly describe when this is happening. Is it when you click "log in" in the menu? Does it happen after you enter your username and password?

If no one provides specific information about when and where this is happening, I can't do anything to fix it.

I couldn't post anything as the trailer window kept coming up whenever I tried to post my comments its working now though.

I was having this problem a few minutes ago. I cleared my cache and rebooted, and the banner for the trailer disappeared. I had no trouble logging in after that. But I don't honestly know whether my actions did that, or if it was simply repaired while I was doing my own thing.

This is a film on an important topic, and I bet it comes at it from some interesting angles. :D

(And I'm glad I can sign in again on IE.)
