Macromedia required????

What's up with the _have to install Macromedia flash_ to view PPCT????

For reasons I won't go into, I can install this right now. Do I have to answer NO everytime I view a new page? Is this related to the ads?

Update: Now I have to refuse several times per page. What's going on?

The subscriber buttons use Flash; this was implemented because people were copying the GIFs and embedding them in their avatars. :|

As a workaround, I believe you can tell IE not to prompt you for downloading plugins every time, right?

Yeah, I remember that....but I wonder why this is just a problem now...

I'll take a look...

If you do that, I think it bitches at you that because of your security settings, the page may not display properly. It's a different dialog box, but it's still a box to deal with. Yet another reason to stop using IE... Microsoft managed to make a "locked down" browser so annoying to use that you're pretty much forced to re-enable some options just to keep from going insane.
