Not sure where to put this.......
I have been uploading a lot of pics to PlantFiles. Yesterday at about 60 in, up came an ad (below) after I clicked on UPLOAD AN IMAGE on a plant page. Next a screen came up saying I had to join DG to participate (below). I have never seen this page before.

If I persisted trying to upload my photo, up came a small box with warnings of great harm to my computer and a phone number to call to unlock my computer which was now frozen. My husband got my computer free. After about another 20 more pics uploaded, it happened again with a different ad to start. If I persist trying to upload the photo, again that small box that freezes my computer came up after the DG page saying I had to join to participate.

Today it has happened 3 more times but as soon as I see the ad. I close the page before my computer is frozen.

It just happened again when trying to upload a photo to the entry Stapelia divaricata.. Since it only happens when I try to upload photos to DG, I think it must be something weird going on with DG. OBTW, when I go back 30 minutes or so later, I can upload the picture with no trouble. And I can upload my next picture immediately after it happens with no trouble too.

Here are the 2 screens that come up before the warning box with the phone numbers comes up. If I get that box again I will get a screen shot of it.
