Has anyone else gotten the stupid contractual agreement thing every time they log on to DDO? It's a minor thing but it gets annoying.

wasn't bitching... just making sure I wasn't clicking on something that would infect my PC.   Being cautious.

Faster to ignore the post than it does to bitch about someone bitching.

I have popups disabled, so I can't read it by clicking ok.

I was able to read it by going to UserCP and then clicking on Broadcast Messages, though.  Hopefully this helps anyone that also has popups disabled.

If only, in this modern day and age, we had something that would prevent that sort of thing.  Some sort of scanner that would block virus, adware, and malicious trolls everywhere.

Ya, I've been getting that a lot.  I think it has something to do with the way I two box.  (Both installs on the same harddrive). 

I'd also had a few problems getting my second install to update/work at all after this last update, and the issues were related to the TOS files.

Quote:
Could not patch file "de/DDo TOS.rtf", error 183: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.


I ended up having to tell the second install to "run as administrator" to get it working at all, but currently when swapping between the two installs, I get to reconfirm that I've read the two documents every time I login.

Bleah.

This is how I'd read it as well.  But not because of any pop-up blocker.

Ok.  Very annoying.  Am I not part of the big kids club or something that gets to see it?  I get the popup, hit Ok and it brings me to BroadCast Messages, which then informs me that there are no messages.....  Happens on every page, tested multiple computers.  Is there an access level required to see these?  When I click on User CP manually, I don't even see a link for Broadcast Messages.

I was wondering if that would happen.  I disabled broadcast messages on the 10th because the message was no longer relevant and everyone was complaining about it.  That likely has you stuck in a state of being unable to see the message, thus getting the popup.

I'll re-enable broadcast messaging so that you can hopefully delete the message.

TY. I couldn't delete it either till you brought it back. Better now.

Thank you.  I've been able to read the message and the pop up no longer appears.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.
