I saw this posted on reddit, pretty amusing, since this was quite the leak as it hasn't even been announced yet. Weird that it showed up at an airport like that!! Also, who the heck buys these giant LEGO sets (like the Titanic set, which is enormous!) at an AIRPORT?!?! ..Al

I'm glad I switched away from Chrome to Firefox a while ago! ..Al

Good idea! ..Al

I suggest not using a Code block for the instructions, as the text in those blocks doesn't wrap, making it difficult to read beyond the width of the browser window. ..Al

Wow, that is really damn cool!!! Although you'll really need to focus on keeping track of your own row if you had eight people playing! If there was something to visually discern them from one another, such as different background colors (but still dark), or maybe different color lines between each row, or something else, that would help a bit. ..Al

I know you feel you're being wronged here, but please do not post someone's personal email address or physical address. I have removed that information from your above post. Thank you, ..Al

I'm not surprised at all, and good luck trying to get Google to change anything they do. Might have better luck with Firefox. ..Al

Yeah, Chrome blocked it for me, but Firefox allowed it. This makes it even more stupid. I wonder if they have a whitelist of file extensions they allow without these frightening warnings. ..Al

I think .a26 is fine, although I would need to verify that again to be sure. ..Al

Yes, attachments are stored in a CDN (Content Delivery Network), so this is pretty common and not something they really should be flagging. That doesn't mean they aren't using it as a factor, though, nor does it make it any less ridiculous. ..Al

I'm only going to leave that up there for a few days so most people who visit regularly will see it. I'll also pin this post in the "Announcements" forum. Unfortunately, there's no easy way for me to have it appear just on the front page of the forum. ..Al

Yeah, I think it's absolutely ridiculous that they are doing this, and like you said, it's an extremely lazy solution to the problem. ..Al

Yeah, it seems to vary a fair bit depending on browser and what version of a browser you're running. I'm extremely unhappy that browsers have decided to flag all such files as "dangerous", even though it's patently false. I might consider mass changing attachments that have this issue to something else. For instance, using ".a26" for Atari 2600 binaries (although ".a78" does have a significant meaning, so I could not rename Atari 7800 ".bin" files to ".a78", so I'd want to come up with a consistent naming scheme. I also need to identify which file attachments besides ".bin" are being flagged in this manner. ..Al

If you've tried downloading game binaries recently in forum threads (such as .bin files for Atari 2600 games), you may have seen a warning from your web browser that the file is dangerous and contains malware. These warnings are FALSE, and the attachments you're receiving warnings about are not dangerous. Unfortunately, it seems that Firefox and Chrome (and perhaps other browsers) have decided to flag all files with certain file extensions, such as .bin, as being dangerous. Here's an example of this warning in Chrome: And in Firefox: For Chrome and Firefox, you can follow the following instructions to avoid these warnings. IN CHROME: Go to Settings (three dots in top right) then Privacy and Security, then Security, then change your 'Safe Browsing' setting to a lower protection until you can download. IN FIREFOX: Go to Settings (three lines in top right) then Privacy and Security, then scroll down to Security, then uncheck 'Block dangerous downloads'. You can also allow files one by one if you're not comfortable turning that off by clicking on the download icon in the top right (down arrow into bin) and then allowing the file. If you don't want to do this, you can generally override the warning and force the download to complete. Thanks to James at ZeroPage Homebrew for writing up the above instructions.

That's a beautiful title screen!! ..Al
