When I'm reading posts, suddenly a big black box will appear and block out all the text. The boxes contain nothing but black area....it's almost like an ad is popping up, but the actual ad is missing. Because the box is blank there is no way for me to close it or to make it disappear. This has been happening for about two weeks now and I'm not sure what it is. I've been using a chrome book for about a month and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any idea what's going on?

Me too! It seems to be worse when there are moving Smilies in the post. Then whole posts will disappear or flash on and off. It is frustrating.

I haven't had this happen to me.
Your descriptions remind me of the mysterious black monoliths from the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". Are they full of stars?
(sorry, couldn't resist)

Hi guys - I am not experiencing what you describe either.
But something is going "loopy" with the site.
I can't update my signature because that input field has disappeared from the page. Twas there a few days ago!

I fiddled with settings on a plug-in. I'm relatively sure you'll have access to your signature again clearance. Can someone get a screen capture of the "black monoliths" so I can report it to Support, please? (Browser and operating system would be helpful too.)

I'm using Chrome on a tablet. Not the mobile version of the site.
Screen capture is beyond me.
I noticed there was a double up of the 'Select all Smilies' & 'View Smilies' buttons in the Smilies box but that seems to be gone now...

I don't know how to do a screen capture on Chrome (what a shocker that I can't do something on a computer! ), but I think it's time I learn. Might take me a bit, but if I see the black monoliths again I shall try to capture one! I use chromebook, which uses a google OS.

Since my brain seems to be firing on all cylinders this morning (even without my morning caffeine shot), let's find out if a skin change will make a difference. I've forgotten how to do that, but will click around and get it done. It is rare for me to be so smart in the mornings (or ever)!
Update: Changed my skin.....will see if the black boxes appear.

I changed my skin to SOOS Lady Bugs. The boxes are STILL appearing, but they're light blue now. Attachment Deleted

Yeah - my 'black' boxes are just blank, not black.

I am still having trouble with the blank boxes. It is really annoying. It is worse with Smilies that flash. I have tried reinstalling Chrome but it hasn't helped. It doesn't happen on any other sites.

This has been happening to me also. Off and on for several weeks--agree it's almost like a pop-up starts and is blocked somehow but the blank box remains. Nothing like this happens on any other site. Chromebook & Dell laptop on Chrome browser.
