I was getting them last week as well. They disappeared after a couple of days. I was using IE.

Harley and Ian. I have had them several times when ive been using Netscape. Antje has never had them in her Netscape.
I think we can consider us "chosen" :)

I was wandering what was causing them, the only thing that i could come up with was the Google Banner Ads as i dont get them anywhere else.
Andersp, i dont get them on Netscape either if i use that.

I'm glad its not just me! I'm only on AOL, I don't normally get them, not that I visit many other sites! I like Andersp's explanation! LOL, that will do for me!

I have got those message also before - but I haven't seen it for many months. I'm not sure why I was getting it, but I think I ended up just loading those languages so I did not have to worry about the messages. (Using IE)

I have them too! I thought I had a virus or something.....

I only get them on BrainKing though, which seems on in itself...

Maybe Fencer wants us all to communicate in Korean.

i thought that was only me bc I was in Korea..weird..I guess Google (which has NO privacy policy and keeps records of all searches) hasn't invaded our privacy enough to properly target us waiting consumers with ads yet!

the yahoo companion over the google toolbar, it offers a popup-blocker
as well - for germany the gmx-toolbar seems to be 1st choice, i.e. if must use Internet Explorer anyway. On Mozilla (Netscape minus AOL) you got your personal toolbars. ~*~

Yes, I get those install boxes, usually for Chinese. I just ignore them; they seem to have gone away for now. It's not just brainking.com though... seems I've gotten them elsewhere, too. It only happens occasionally.

I just got 3 in a row...only here though, not at other sites....

Fencer, I've got another pawn stuck as captain of a team on A Power House. Soon, we'll have all this cleaned up, but could you please remove her? It's scampy on the Five In Line team. We'd like to enter the team tournament, but....you know.

[edit to avoid duplicate posts] I was getting those language thingies last week before I disappeared to Austin for 3 days. I'm very happy I'm not the only one. I seriously doubt you have a virus, Cindy. The Goggle ads being at fault appeals to me - I just thought it was a bug that Fencer would eventually fix.

27. Iulie 2004, 06:56:47

Antje

TexT--you can remove the pawns yourself from the fellowship!

27. Iulie 2004, 07:03:04

Hmmmm, if I remove the pawn, she leaves the team, hey? You know I figured that out last week - but I've been out of town. My mind went blank. Thank goodness for friends.

As a side note, when I was getting those messages about different fonts, it was way before the google ads were placed here. One of the things I guessed was that somwhere in a post, or something, someone tried to post a special character that took those types of fonts to read - but that was only a guess.

27. Iulie 2004, 07:28:10

i get those messages about different fonts on other sites ...but never had them here lol , so i must be the odd one out ;)

Info abouts bugs its very good :)

But Priority 5 is the lowest or the biggest ? :)

27. Iulie 2004, 15:42:34

In my book, lower than 1. On a scale of 10, it would be medium.

27. Iulie 2004, 15:43:41

1 is highest, 5 is lowest.

Subiectul: Bug Tracker

I know it would be more work for someone, but it sure would be nice if somehow us English only users could read the bugs posted in Czech - just so we don't report the same but multiply times.

27. Iulie 2004, 16:01:04

That's what I mean, Fencer. Pardon my ditziness. Sleep might help.

27. Iulie 2004, 16:19:04

Subiectul: Re: Bug Tracker

BBW: How would you do that? Somebody would have to translate all bugs.

pass it through babelfish. it won't get you a good translation, but you can post the results to the jokes board

Babelfish doesn't support Czech.

at Multi Translation Langenberg ... links to altavista as well ... ~*~

Is the czech word for wolf the same as for tungsten?

27. Iulie 2004, 17:44:43

Maxxina

Wolf is in the czech - VLK

27. Iulie 2004, 18:07:47

BuilderQ

Hmmm, okay. I followed danoschek's link and tried to use that site to translate the whole "Bug tracker" page from Czech to English. Since most of that page was in English to begin with, the translation was entertaining. The Czech parts were translated strangely (Nefunguje scheme her acts?hellen, které stave off solely to mewed), and the English parts translated back into English included things like changing "BIG BAD WOLF" into "BIG BAD Tungsten." And "Date" became "Woodpecker"! Maybe this sort of thing does belong on the joke board. :)

Any translation to czech on world site . Not czech site are imho very funny :)

Modificat de danoschek (27. Iulie 2004, 21:11:06)

get problems with longer, or just highly structured sentences ... :)
if it's just for translating from your native language, you might get better
results by rearranging or, translating subordinate clauses one by one ... ~*~

As an American?

incorrectly :)

28. Iulie 2004, 08:35:18

Subiectul: Re: How do you pronounce VLK?

Vlk? It's easy. You must say "VL" just like the end of "travel" or "battle" etc. and add a "k" immediately. Not "k" like "key", just "k".
Hey, it's not easy to explain :-)

Modificat de danoschek (28. Iulie 2004, 08:49:11)

really not easy to explain - the L and the R cAn have sound like vowels in
slavonic languages ... often it's sufficient to imagine a faint, volatile 'ih'-phonem
after them consonants - "vlick" with a swinging L approaches fairly well, then ~*~
