+kantear Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) the map keeps getting a popup window even after restarting it ... seems to be happening at random intervals around 5-10 minutes and seems to pause longer every so often... it started at first midnight 2012. so i can only assume that someone was wishing a "happy new year" ... well back at ya ... but now it won't stop.

I was getting the same today, it does seemed to have stopped now. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Quote Link to comment

+t4e Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 i see you use google chrome, did you try other browser, i'm not getting that in FF? anyway, i find that popup hilarious lol Quote Link to comment
+6NoisyHikers Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Ok, I was getting that too! I was at work (shh!) - we use FireFox. I also use FireFox at home and... checking... it doesn't seem to be happening here (although they may have sorted it out already - I'm not going back to work to find out!) Edit to add: Five minutes later the "Yes" window did pop up. Edited January 1, 2012 by 6NoisyHikers Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) ok i updated to FF 9 and i'm getting the "yes"...not as pretty as in Chrome once i click on the "OK" i get an option to prevent the page from creating further dialogs, lets see if it works Edited January 1, 2012 by t4e Quote Link to comment
+RIclimber Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'm getting the same problem on FF3.6 and CometBird. I bet we'll get the same answer "We see nothing" and still be dealing with this a month from now... Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 So funny... I JUST got that as I was reading this thread. I had a map open on another tab. Well, much better than if it said, "NO!", I guess. Quote Link to comment

+gpguyway Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 i see you use google chrome, did you try other browser, i'm not getting that in FF? anyway, i find that popup hilarious lol I get it in FireFox but it does not have the x out window like on Internet Explorer. Does not do much except when you agree with it it jumps you out of the tab your in and back to a previous tab on your screen. Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Yep - happening here too. I had one window open with the Beta Map, and was composing a log in the other window when it suddenly popped up. Not over the map....over the log! It is getting as much fun as the Magellan Communicator asking if I wanted to upgrade to a newer version time and time again....even though I have done so. More than once, I might add! Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 on the two computers we were using. Edited January 2, 2012 by popokiiti Quote Link to comment

jholly Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Methinks someone forgot to remove some debugging code testing leap year functions. Quote Link to comment
+stevenw54 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I certainly do not wish to put up with this bug for the rest of 2012. Quote Link to comment

+Surfoo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 in ScriptResource.axd : DateTime.isLeapYear = function (year) { if (((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0)) || (year % 400 == 0)) { alert("yes"); return true; } return false; }; This piece of code is executed only for leap years Quote Link to comment

+dfx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's not a bug, it's all about positive thinking, with the end of the world approaching and all that. Quote Link to comment
+gdsdizz Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The Magellan problem and this pop up are very annoying. I do hope it can be fixed soon. Quote Link to comment
+DanPan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 If it happens once it's a bug, twice it's a feature, three times it's a design decision. Quote Link to comment

+SisqoKid Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 If it happens once it's a bug, twice it's a feature, three times it's a design decision. And what is it if it happens like 100 times?! Annoying, I'd say... Anyway, glad to see it's not just me... and btw, happy 2012 everyone! Quote Link to comment
