| I clicked on that link, got a pop-up telling me to download a new version of Flash Player, which I tried to close, but when I did, it downloaded anyway, and now I'm losing space like crazy on my Mac. I'd heard about this, but I wasn't expecting it to happen to me, especially since I tried to exit the damn thing. | |

| That's odd, Alan. Didn't have any problem with that link yesterday or today (nm) | |

| A friend tried it and had no problem. It was weird. He said that the problem may have been in my Mac, but it's not happening on other sites. Anyway, after an hour or so, my Mac calmed down and all seems fine now. So I guess my Mac fought it off successfully. | |

| When wondering about this last night, I posted about it on Facebook. One friend said what I mentioned above. Another wrote this: "BroadwayWorld's pop-ups are the worst. I don't know why the site is so prone to them, but it happens just about every time I visit the site." | |

| It is the worst, and enough to keep one from going there. I have about three layers of blockers on that site and it still doesn't prevent all of the nuisance popups. That said, however, it sounds like you do not have Flash (an outdated and partly deprecated technology that BWW still employs a lot) on your computer, which would create a different situation than just popups. I can understand the website inviting you to download flash if it can't find it but to do it without permission is a major no-no. |
