	So, when opening up a thread here recently on an Android phone, I noticed that it was forcing a download into the download folder and am curious as to why that's happening. I have my thoughts (mainly to force a download to track an IP). Same threads not doing it on a desktop browser. I have a file saved and would be happy to send it via PM if you want to investigate :/. /paranoia #tinfoilhat

	I got the option to ignore that: your phone must be from 2012 or so.

	Well it was happening on this thread... i got the option to ignore it as well.. http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1453331706 but I also did not notice anything like that happening on other threads. in lieu of paranoia, it's probably just a code anomaly as a result of the forum software, the android OS / Chrome or both.

Especially if they can get us to buy it, that just cracks them up.

	I'm using an old Sony Experia from (I think) 2013 and this happens all the time, some images are downloaded on certain threads.. Delete them from download list and/or buy a new tablet.

	Some are insane, and the're in charge.
