It happened to me aswell, slowed everything down a bit lol.
It also popped up with 3 virus things for some reason, I think maybe the server got hacked or something?

Yeah, I have IE and sometimes these pages pop up with tons of Aztec-looking symbols on it. XD Then IE gives me a message saying they've experienced an error and have to close. <.<;;

Hmmmm i'm not seeing anything like that too...
may be some of you guys' security settings or something or maybe a server glitch (the server has been hammered pretty hard today)

In IE it opens it automaticly and makes it a page, If you view it it should look like this "sdfjkaldskjal;kmn;lasckmvls" XD. It happend about 30 mins ago and wont stop!

Yeah, it's happening to me too.
Heck I hate IE. XD
It's like encryption of the page, I've seen encrypted documents and looks similar o.o;
I just refresh the page~

that happens when the content/type is not send right.
then the browser wants to download it.
just reload the page! ;)

Yeah, It just happened to me a few seconds ago and i'm using Friefox. Maybe it's a problem with PC's current server.
Edit: It happened to me agian when I clicked the edit button.

That showed up for me one time too. Though when it happened PC closed down for me and I couldn't get back in. Everytime I tried, no matter what domain I used, only that came up. But when I came on the next day it was gone. O.o
Btw, incase your wondering, I use the same version of Firefox as you do.

Never happened to me as I dont use FireFox, whatever that is exactly.

me thinks it was the server being overloaded an unable to completely send the http request... not too big a deal for you guys, and a small headache for me..
Is anyone still seeing it?

Yup, It's working perfectly well now. Probably it was just a server overload as Stevie said.
Andy maybe that download was due to you right-clicking threads and "Save AS".

Nope, I know what I clicked. That dosen't pop up when you click Save as anyway. It's a downloading box. And the fact is it poped up when I was on the online list (as some of you may know I open a tab on the online list so dosen't show me as off line) means it was something to do with PC itself.

yeah, well Steve said it's fixed now, it was just a server overload. as he said, it's taken a large 'beating' today xD

Well that's what you get for hosting one of the largest Pokemon forums in the world. XD
Anyway since Steve fixed it I'm sure I speak for everyone by saying. Thank you Steve.
Now I'll lock this since everything is fixed and we can now move on. XD
