Default Is it just me or what?
Old 06-05-2009, 02:40 AM   #1 (permalink)

So when I view a thread at the beginning of every post there is a little white box with a blue squiggly-s thingy blocking about the third and forth words in. I can right click on it like it's a photo, but it's just this stupid little squiggle. It does however make ready the posts a little irritating after a while.

Is it just something screwy with my computer or is it something normally odd with this site? (It's always been like this for me).

That usually shows up when someone edits their post. Is it on all of them? I dont know what it is, but it is annoying lol.

It shows up on all of the posts as far as I can tell... I haven't seen it NOT show up yet.

Glad to know I'm not just seeing things! LOL!

I'm not seeing anything like this in my browser. What browser are you guys using?

Any way you could post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Default Print Screen-- here you are...

Okay, I did a print screen and then cropped it. Marked the funny little squiggles with arrows. I can right click on them like they are a picture and have a background full of little blue squiggles if I wanted.

I'm using IE 7, I dunno about anyone else. Hope this figure the mystery out!

Hey, so I just noticed that if I post in a thread all the dumb little things go away, but if I'm just reading it and haven't posted they are there... I don't see them anymore on this thread right now. Will navigate away and back and see if that makes a difference though.

Okay this is just bizarre... my last post has the squiggle back, but the ones before it, including the one where I uploaded the photo don't have them now. All I did was post the second post about navigating away and back.

Wow, that is weird indeed.

If you can, right click on it, click Properties, and the post the Address/URL here.

Okay, so I tried to right click on it and I must have been mistaken about being able to click on it... if I highlight the post, it highlights and copies the words behind it and not the stupid thing at all. If I wasn't seeing it, I'd think I was imagining it! Forum ghosties maybe?

Right click, Properties gets me the properties of the forum page, not the little box. Shoot.
