Not sure what to make of this, but it now appears in the center of each page of there site, can only be clicked on it would seem, and not removed.

Yeah, I saw it too. I accidentally clicked on it, gonna run some file checks now. The site looked like the legit SE page, but I didn't read every last bit of it. I didn't notice any misspellings or simple mistakes, but we'll find out soon if it's real/fake.

Either way, it's damn annoying.

I've only been playing since last September. So, this is new to me. Joke or not, I'm not taking any chances. Rofl

Yeah, it's gotta be an April Fools thing. It's annoying though, the damn image is making wiki impossible to use. I can't click on a ton of the links.

And I did compare the actual SE support page address with the one I got when I clicked on the image, it's the same as the SE Support rules/policies page. Damnit Wiki.

anyone figured out if it actually belongs to ffxiclopedia or not? It's weird that it seems to be a legit link (from mousing over; I didn't click) but also weird that they would make it such an interference.

I'm pretty sure it is, I mean really it's April 1st. lol If you disable javascript it'll go away preventing you from "clicking" on it if it's not. Better safe then sorry :o

I was expecting more like a "zomg free relics" or something nearly as unbelievable as "Update Notes". They really do need to delete it though. I don't wanna disable Java. =(

Use some common sense. Why on Earth would anyone trying to infect your computer with a virus use a pop up such as that one? Understandable that some people didn't know it was an April Fool's joke considering its still pretty early, but still >.>;

It popped up for me, and I knew it was ***, considering I was still running FFXI in the background.
