Most of the Time problems with the site come from "Pop Up" Blockers...."Download Stoppers" and that kind of stuff. To get rid of them you need to add www.fryingpantower.com to your list of "Trusted Sites". You can turn on the options that you wish...but allowing Pop-ups and downloads should be selected. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/security/settings.mspx That being said....let me add.... Pop-Ups The Pop-Ups on this site are used for "System Functions"....(To Tell you there is a Private Message for example) and will never be used for any type of advertising....PERIOD. So you can safetly allow them. Downloads... ....There are a TON of downloads here....and EVERYone of them has come from orginal sources (The Goverment for the most part)....and have been run through my own anti-virus....(It is a good one and is kept up to date). Lastly....I am not some random guy in Kalimozoo.... My name is Captain Dave.....My phone number is all over this site.....if you EVER and I mean EVER find anything that comes from this site that is not on the up and up...CALL ME ASAP!! so I can remove it and being an investigation.
