  1. I can't find any option to end a classified listing or mark an item as sold. I click the profile icon, then 'my adverts', and all I see is the advert, but no options to change it.
  2. The firm provides IP legal services. I agree that something seen only by skydivers is not best. The dropzone I spend most of my time at does a large volume of tandems, so there are always non-skydivers around as well as other people who are involved with the airport. Regardless, the demo route might be the best thing to suggest.
  3. The marketing committee at my firm said recently that they want me to figure out a way to spend money on something skydiving-related. I'm curious what ideas you might have about creative or unique ways to do this. I'm not in marketing, so the only things I know are the standard logos on jumpsuits, rigs, canopies, demo flags, helmets, etc. Perhaps also a video or photos that can be used in marketing materials. Do any of you have any ideas? I'm hoping to at least get a bit of new gear out of the deal.
  4. After dealing with a helmet/freebag entanglement (on a non-skyhook-equipped rig), I prefer to disconnect my RSL/Skyhook for video jumps. I want that extra second or two to regain a good deployment position. Granted, the Skyhook may mitigate that need, but I just feel more comfortable without it.
  5. It seems to me that one major downside of the AS15 or GoPro for tandem use would be the lack of a controller and status indicator such as the Hypeye. I know GoPro offers a remote with some models, but it still does not give you the same immediate and visual feedback as the status indicator. Using an iphone or whatever to control the AS15 seems impractical for tandem videos, but perhaps I'm missing something.
  6. Wow. You come chiming in like a bumbling buffoon over a year after the discussion sounding like both an amateur and a knuckle-dragger. But you are a tough keyboard warrior with your slurs and hate speech, so I'm properly intimidated. /s
  7. No. I had just started browsing PF website, when a virus took over my pc. Symantec tried to stop it, but failed.
  8. I changed the heading. I don't think anyone will argue with the new one. If I was wrong then I am truly sorry for any trouble that I caused. I was browsing through the products pages of PF if that matters. Maybe there was a hidden ad link somewhere on Google that I clicked without realizing it when I searched for the webpage?
  9. Just went there in a sandbox environment to see if anything had changed in the past 24 hours...nothing seen, nothing reported, nothing indicated. I'm there every couple of days; I don't run antivirus. But then again, I also avoid porn, warez, and music lyric sites, and like long walks on the beach while poking dead things with a sharp stick. Ok, I'm sitting here racking my brain trying to figure this out. The only other option would be uspto website, which was open but not accessed for at least an hour prior, and which I visit daily with never a problem. no peripherals attached, No attachments or files downloaded. Nevertheless, pc is cleaned now, so I'm out.
  10. I use an ad blocker, for what it's worth. Not sure if that would affect anything.
  11. The fact that this is the second time you encountered a worm/trojan that can only be INSTALLED by opening malicious attachments to emails or executable files that you downloaded, suggests you need to look for a solution closer to home. Please ignore the 'trojan' lingo and check your security.
  12. Call it what you will, but that webpage was the source. The timing of the invasion leaves no other options. I only said trojan because thst's what Symantec labelled it. IT guy knows his stuff. That is not a concern.
  13. You're wrong. Don't screw over everyone else.
  14. I just got a nasty Trojan from Phoenix Fly website. Second trojan this year. The first was from Icarus's website a few months back. Come on, skydive industry, use a little security. My IT guy is not pleased. EDIT: Others have verified that PF website is safe. I'm still not sure what happened here, but it's entirely possible that I was wrong about the source of this. I don't wish any ill-will towards PF.
