    It is ten times worse.

    Mine covers almost the entire page.

    Thanks for the input.

      Sounds like it might be a browser setting on your end; maybe combined with a small display. What platform and browser are you using?

        seems like some of the portable devices have minor issues. Yea check your settings and if you still have a problem let the admin know. There may be some adjustments he can make on the back end. LX knows a lot about this stuff as well.

        Personally I use a service dog to do all my computer work. He tells me whats posted and I tell him what to reply and he types it in. Works for me but I really don't know what hes actually posting. Hes become good friends with snusdog.

        I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

          I actually meant to say that if you are quicker to put the curser on the thread title and click, that the box won't have time to come up. But I suppose you ARE using a handheld device you probably just have to touch it? All my phone does is make phone calls...cuz that's all I'll ever be able to do on a phone. technology is going far too fast for me. ;(

            I get it as well....just click on a neutral part of the page and it goes away
            When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

                I think you have nailed it. This is a browser issue.

                I'm currently using DNA HTC phone but I also use a high end Mac. And this is not a forum problem but as you have so wisely suggested it is the browser.

                I took a screen shot of the problem and the damn thing in my photo gallery but I now need to figure out how to copy and paste the thing.

                I want you guys to see what I see so you'll know why I thought it was a big deal.

                You gotta see this to believe it.

                      I think I know what the problem is.

                      The older you are the larger the pop up to make it easier to see. Bummer for you Dan.


                      makes sense to me.

                      carry on

                        That's it. I get the same little info box on my iMac. It's only 2X3 inches so it is not a problem at all. In fact, its a help not a hindrance. I can see how it would be a nuisance on a hand held device.

                            While we are at it, I always get a bar on top of the page with Google translation options. Once I click "No translation for this site ever" or something like that, it disappears... but pops up again the next time I visit the site. I have no idea how to disable this forever. Apart from blocking a bit at the top it always painfully reminds me that my English might not be as good as I like to think

                                A message from the admin.....

                                "Ref Dan F's latest screenshot he's trying to use one of our Desktop skins on a mobile device. That isn't going to work out well. Surely on a mobile device you select the Mobile skin or prefrably download and install Tapatak, both of which are oprimised for mobile devices."

                                hope this helps
