How to get rid of the outdated browser bar, it keeps coming back

[Dan]

The system isn't one we own or have installed. It's done via CloudFlare which manage the traffic coming into the site. So while we can change the browser version the message pops up for, we can't change anything related to the messages etc.

What version browser are you using?

Install addblock or similar, right click on the banner. Select block element.

I'm on the newest version of Chrome, on windows 8.1. It was still popping up for me.

I'd assume you were using an out of date and therefore vulnerable browser then. Read this: http://www.whatbrowser.org/

Windows Internet Explorer 9....

IE9 is a couple of versions out of date. Can your IT dept not allow you to upgrade?

Yeah I thought that at first Dan, but checked fire fox and I am on the latest version mate, I kept getting hits from bathroom companies trying to sell me sinks which I have never seen before anywhere except Facebook.

 

[Dan]

Hits from bathroom companies to where?

 

[Guest77]

on the site here Dan on the main page I had adverts showing bathroom sinks mate, this was on the right under the main tool bar which had a sentence about out of date browsers even though I am on the latest browser.

I'd assume you were not logged in then. Ads are only shown to those not logged in. They're browsing the website for free and see Google adverts, they're controlled by Google, and aren't spam of any form. As soon as you log in, and as you have more than 10 posts, you don't see Google ads at all. Hence you not seeing any now.

In future, if you can screen print me the top of the forum when you see the adverts, it'll show us whether you're logged in or not.
