That advertisement banner is getting tricky...
First, it said I had "One unread message". I called BS on that.
Then, it said I had "Two new friend requests". I double-checked, then called BS again.
THEN, it says that the plugin running the banner has crashed, and to "click here". ALMOST.
Finally, it's showing me the image of Generic Basketball Player with a red button and meter next to him. I'm assuming I push the button, the meter fills up, and GBP takes a shot at the hoop in the background. Tempting, but I'm not Larry Bird.
Silly banner, coming up with creative ways to trick me into clicking you.
On a completely unrelated note, what's everyone's recommendation for the best spyware/trojan removal software?

Oh. Silly me!
I don't see ads. And neither should you!
Firefox + Ad Block Plus - adblockplus . org / en /
You will not regret this decision.

Got it! Ironic Moment of the Day: When attempting to download AdBlock Plus, Firefox prevented the pop-up from opening.
Also, there's not even a HINT of where that banner was. What sort of sorcery is this?!

You know, I was wondering why there was an awkward gap between the Galactica Actual banner and the forum, and now I know!

Also, you're only a few comments away from being promoted from a Nugget...!

Irony; evidently "admin" under my handle is in name only because not even I can see what he's posting....! I'm going to fiddle with the setting some more...

I shall pray to the holiest of all prophets, St. Gaius Baltar. May he intercede on our behalf and bring us the truth to this question.

AHEM. Your prayers have been answered! I've resolved the link issue. And you can post images if you host them somewhere and put the URL in IMG brackets. [] <-- those things.
I don't know about loading an attachment for a picture. I haven't tried it yet.
