Warning about Bloatware
Good idea SamHB, added that warning! I was doing this one too late at night, so I didn't even think of that. Thanks for watching!
- I want to make the warning about installing stuff / hijacking your web browser even more serious. I have a really good example of this, for which I can take screenshots. And it's freeware! They must be getting a kickback from Google. Disgusting. Though it's actually good software.
- But, as you have recently found out, uploading images involves putting stuff on a web site that you have access to. I don't have such a web site. (Perhaps the only person over the age of 3 without his own web site.) Could I load them onto your site? Or mail them to you? SamHB (talk) 21:42, 8 January 2016 (EST)
