Windows 10 Pro, Chrome, never seen it. Of course I'd never click on it even if I did, Flash *finally* dies a well deserved and long overdue death at year end. Unless somebody actually still has a need for it (can't imagine why but it's possible) you should uninstall it now.

Always on my android phone using chrome to browse this site. Haven't seen it.
On another note, there does appear to be a glitch recently when clicking the "next" button at bottom of page to go to the next one, more often than not it clicks the advertisement just above it. Used to think it was user error but it happens WAY to often. Never mentioned it cuz it's only a minor inconvenience and B6G gets the ad click. I don't mind helping "Doug" with the ad revenue for the site. Keeps us all going.

Had it happen to me twice today. Once on my iMac and then just now on my iPad. Canā€™t see whatā€™s triggering it from the user side of things.

I find it a little funny it seems to be happening mostly on IOS/MacOS, as windows just released an update that is set to kill off adobe flash player entirely on windows 10 systems. Oh and also, apple does not allow official flash players on IOS.

Windows 7, Chrome, ABP, Malware bytes, free PC Matic. Never saw the aforementioned pop up... Sometimes when diagnosing an issue, it helps to know when it does not get through...

Those who have experienced this, can you please post what device and browser you were using when seeing the pop-up.
I saw it on my macbook using safari. Had some wierd url with just a bunch of letters that didn't spell anything. Just exited out so it wouldn't download

I was using Safari and got the pop up about the Flash update - I did NOT do it, but it wouldn't go away, and wouldn't let me view the page. I switched to Chrome - and shortly after trying launching this forum, got a pop up page about my Mcafee antivirus expiring today, and I'm up for a 50% discount. I closed that tab and relaunched, and was able to access the forum normally
