    When I clicked the ad in the top right it brings up the following prompt.

    My first reaction was eeK! until I had a good look, that is greenjokerpoker's install program... it is legit but scary when you dont know what it is.

    I think it should go to an info page that explains what the program is/does. I have amended the link to go through to the greenjokerpoker website. Thanks for the heads up.

    Whatever it is there shouldn't just be a prompt to download an application without any form of description which was my one major problem.

    At least it was "legit" though.

    Glad you've amended it. Cheers.

    Yup, I should have checked what I thought was a tracking url to see where it linked when I put up the banner, another item to add to the checklist.

    I'll settle for your resignation (and your keys), delivered to me on a plate by 8am tomorrow morning. :)
