Hi,

am browsing on my mobile and it keeps telling me that a file is being downloaded from BR.
not sure what it is, but I don't get a prompt or anything. Luckily my phone doesn't support whatever file it is so can't run it.

Is it just my phone?
Itsa WP7 phone.
Just want to make sure that nothing is being downloaded to my computer from this site in the background.



Thanks.

    Hi,

    It's probably due to your phone's browser not supporting a piece of content on the site. Have you noticed any parts of the site that don't work/don't appear?

    I noticed this too on Android using the Chrome Beta

    Doesn't happen on the BR homepage, only on the forum -> and i can't see/find anything that's not working/not appearing.

    I suppose it may be a flash issue as Chrome Beta on Android doesn't support flash?

    Same here - perhaps flash for the ads?

    I just checked in the android 4.0 native browser which does support flash and some nice 'flashy' adds popped up that i don't get on chrome mobile (because it has no flash) -> and i didn't notice when i compared to chrome desktop because i use adblock!.

    mystery solved?
