Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Honestly, I don't know if this has any merit or not....

Every once in a while, I'll see a dark flash across my screen. I really don't know what it is (it happens on different computers), and it is far too brief to even notice, really. It appears to look like just another part of loading a page, but I don't know. Could this be some kind of subliminal advertising tactic?

Anyone else see these? I'm kinda concerned as to what Achronos could be trying to make me want or think (I really don't think he's too fond of me). All shenanigans aside, does anyone else experience this, or do you know of a fix? It's nothing drastic, really; it does disrupt my train of thought, though.

Does it show up when a page is loading, or just randomly?

But all I can say is subliminal advertising doesn't work, since good old psychology has proven that if you don't notice the message (which it is suppose to be) then your brain won't pick up on the message :P
Yeh, I learned a lot of useless but interesting stuff from my highschool psychology textbook.

Well, it's random. It usually appears a little bit after the page is loading, like 20 seconds or so, but the page is already completely there by then. I'm not running dial-up, or anything....

Check your monitor cable. I don't see any marketing splashed across my screen every 30 seconds.

Brb, I need some Coca-Cola.

Yeh, make sure your cable is not loose. One time I plugged my thumbdrive into my usb slot and somehow the monitor cable came loose and my screen turned a tint of light blue 0.o

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

Doesn't happen to me. It might be something to do with how your browser recalls cached files or maybe you have an out of date display driver. /nerd

I checked, and the monitor cable on my laptop was loose [/sarcasm]

It's not the cable (unless it's some internal thing). Oh well, I really don't care; just wondered if anyone else thought the same.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Reinstalling your graphics drives would likely fix it. I don't know why, but that seems to be the solution to every 'wtf is this -blam!-' problem I've ever had with my displays.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

You know, I had a detached retina from a car accident once, and I used to get dark flashes every little while. Try reattaching your retina and see if that fixes the problem.

Where's my Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys? Or can I access that function in my BIOS? Where's my reset button for the latter case?

Hm, maybe you don't have administrator privileges on your system. You might need to speak with the man upstairs to access that function.

Off topic I guess, but how does the topic relate to the thread at all?
