Information Bar Problem

When I come to the site and navigate to one of the sub-forums the Information Bar of Internet Explorer displays the following message “To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer, Click here for options…” Since I trust the site when I download the file it opens the CSS editor of Dreamweaver and this is the code that is displayed.

.app_content_140511002640400 a.uiLinkSubtle { display: none; }
.app_content_140511002640400 a.UIImageBlock_ICON_Image { display: none; }


#bootloader_7U5M_ { height: 42px; }

This just started happening this afternoon 2/4/11. Using IE 8 version 8.0.6001.18702. Please advise.

I tired recreating the problem, using IE 8 and nothing pops up for me, but im sure one of these will solve your problem :D

I've sent a PM. If anyone else has a similar experience, please let us know. :)

We did have a similar issue over the last few days that turned out to be something bleeding through the FaceBook connection. FB has since fixed that issue. We'll be very interested to know if it or anything like it continues.

Iam seeing the same thing tonight.

Have done some more digging and this looks like a continuing FaceBook problem. :( Nothing we can do about it until FB fixes it at their end.

A workaround in IE that will stop the popups or whatever is being generated is to disable the "Automatic Prompting for File Downloads. (Internet options --> Security --> Internet Zone --> Custom) You might need to delete your temp internet files and java cache after the change is made.

If anyone is getting these issues using some OTHER browser than IE, please let me know.
