    I don't know how that would infect my browser but you may be on to something with your comment.

    I just know for certain that any nerd could walk into my house and make that huge pop up box go completely away in a split second.

    That's what bugs the crap outta me.

    lmao....same here. I had an acquaintance that is a computer wiz and used snus. Every once in a while he would come over to pick up snus and I'd have a list for him. 5 minutes later I had all my questions answered or computer adjusted. Sucks don it.

    Admin says.....if you are in a foreign country that translator will always pop up. Can't do anything about that, sorry.

    Not much he can do about the other glitches either other than you finding a work around. Its up to you to try other browsers. Or go online to try and find a fix. The site works great for 99% of the users as it is. There seems to be a fix online for just about anything but sometimes it takes a while to find them. Good luck.

    Do you have any children or grandkids that can help you? My grandkids help me sometimes....but not enough. They never have time to answer all my questions or fix all that needs fixing.

    No....I checked both the zoom settings and the overall system resolutions for the display.

    No matter how I reset the options that damn window is huge.

    I need a thirteen year old software nut (or a legal Snus user here) who does this stuff in his sleep.

    It covers 75% of the damn screen.

    What I need to find here is a software geek who also happens to use Portions or Los.

    PP is a great stand up comic (one of the best in the business) but I need a diehard nerd who knows how to fix this on my end.

    No!

    I'm on my Mac (today) using Safari and the same "monster" pop up keeps blocking out 70% to 80% of the page.

    This is not the pop up that other members see. They see a little one line kind of pop up.

    This is probably a browser issue but it is a "major" pain in the ass.

    This has nothing to do with the forum (as lxkskllr mentioned) and apparently I am the only member here seeing this annoying pain in the butt.

    Dan

    P.S.

    The pop up keeps following my cursor all around the site and covers most of the screen.

    I don't need to know the ridiculous "info" within the window. Who the hell would?

    hope this helps

    Tapatalk is wank, total wank, I like the layout of the site on a computer so I access it via the browser on my iPad as twatatalk does function the way I want it to, I.e like the normal site, I don't like twatatalk.

    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

    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.

    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
