    I've no idea what this is about but when I clicked on 'New Posts' I got the following:



    Beats me. :confused:

    Are you trying to sneak a peak at my photos before the weekend, Shawn? :p

    You probably had alt held while you click it. I do it TONS of times. Alt+click a link downloads it. (In Firefox, that is.)

    Actually, come to think of it, I was trying to view this thread, not new posts :eek:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=21620

    I was in 'New Posts' when I did it.

    Drawing on all of my years of exerience, I would hazard a guess that it's probably something to do with ... me, heh. Although I don't know what.
    :cool:

    Have you tried alt-clicking a link and seeing if it does it again?

    Yes, I've tried every combo I can think of. As far as I know, I only right-clicked to open in a new page the first time.

    Don't worry about it, the server and your browser couldn't come to a "conclusion" about what mime type to send it as, so, it sent you a application/octet-stream which your browser has no choice but to ask you to save (because it can't show executables).

    Nothing to see here, move along.

    I got the same thing the other day using Firefox. I switched to IE, and it worked fine.
