LOG OFF once you're done!

If you're not on the board, but have selected a time limit that keeps you logged on for later use,

YOU'RE BEING SPIED ON!

I've noticed that various windows are waiting for things to complete from board.marlincrawler.com (were 'Done' on lower left corner is) even when you're not attached to the board in any of your open windows.

What's the deal with the spying?

BTW, I've noticed this from different machines too....

I think your onto something

Ive seen lil' turtles

in my neighbor hood.... almost like " tenage mutant nija turtles " but way slower

, they came down a rope from "black hellicopters"

and tried to brain wash me

but to no avail I have no brain so they moved on

.... as soon as " I PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE " all the images went away

WTF are you talking about why would this site try to spy on you

you doofus

the following opinion does not reflect the views of this or any other sane person on this or any other board

I have seen strange things 2 before

IN the lower left hand corner of your browser ( firefox) theres the word "DONE" lets you know the page has loaded/what is loading . I have seen strange apps loading also.

Now i have not noticed or seen any in a while but i'll keep a

out and see if i can

or write it down.

You probably left it open on the forum homepage where the shoutbox is. It auto refreshes every so often (using JavaScript most likely), and when it does, the scripts will print "Done" on the status bar.

Quit using IE. The spies can't figure out FireFox.

Turtles!!! They're taking over turtles everywhere!! I think you will find that all you are seeing is the automatic refresh for the Shoutbox not some turtle conspiracy.

Exactly, if you disable auto refresh it stays as done. And yes again, IE is crap, FF3 is the only thing worth running.

Actually it was the first Tuesday of every month and Infernal asked "if it was the first Tuesday of every month,"even if it lands on a weekend?"

If you are going to quote him, might as well get it right.

And it was funnier when it was just an obscure reference.

It's repeatable. May not be noticed on highspeed broadband but is on dialup and slower DSL.

I think it's has something to do with the smilies in the shoutbox.....

Bring up the home board page and wait...........

If there are any smilies in the shout box and someone posts a message there, you'll start to get uploads every minute or so (watch lower left of window).

The strange thing is, you can leave the marlin site (in the same window) and you'll still get the downloads every minute or so.............

Dare you to try....

Do you use crap ass IE or firefox? I use firefox and have never had it happen. I'd say IE is spying on you, but I don't need to play captain obvious today

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #29 on:** Jul 06, 2008, 10:42:38 AM »

Firefox is just faster at reloading, I use Firefox and it does it for me. Just sit on the front page for a few minutes and you'll see it go through the reload in the bottom left corner where it says done.
