| JR_Sanford I Love ALL Humanity  Portland, Oregon | #1  Apr 08, 2012 @ 19:37:03Oh my God, now there are "text enhanced" hyperlinks all over the postings. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium, Firefox 11. Is this a Windows, Firefox, or a TFS enabler? (Previewing it hyperlinks Firefox then pops up, "Answer this question and win a $1000 Wal*Mart gift card "participation required" ) J.R. | |||||||

Usually any of the forums, but especially the games forums; it doesn't say which sites, I would have to click the "okay to let it through" to find that out, and I'm leary to do that of course. We use McAfee AntiVirus Plus, and Microsoft Security Essentials. | ||||||

(Previewing it hyperlinks Firefox then pops up, "Answer this question and win a $1000 Wal*Mart gift card "participation required" ) J.R. So what is 'text enhanced' hyperlinks? Is that something I need to be aware of? Is it a bad thing? | ||||||

According to tino's one post "This shouldn't be coming through TFS. Can you get a screenshot?" So sounds like it isn't a good thing. J.R. went offline not long after posting this thread last night; but if you can get a screenshot of the problem, post it here for tino. | ||||||

| Deal_With_It Stevens Pass, Washington | #11 Apr 09, 2012 @ 19:50:01Sorry sTreetAngeL but it was hours ago and I don't know how to do a screenshot. I just know that it was some sort of survey. I answered a couple of questions but then they wanted more info , that's when I closed the window. | ||||||

You know the kind- rose colored glasses and tiptoeing through the tulips!! I was like that when I first started using the comp; only took us 4 computers until I finally learned my lesson.  Just resist them all. Play it safe. (refer to my other comment ) | ||||||
