Hi,
everytime I come on to rootsChat I get a bar at the bottom of my screen. i keep shutting it, but is still appears every time.
Anyone know what it is, and more importantly, how to get rid of it? It only appears on RootsChat.
Thanks, Judy

I've never heard of it,
Having looked at a few forums, it seems it is nothing to be concerned about. However, apparently if your Java is out of date, updating it seems to resolve the problem.

Thanks Dave - I was worried in case it was a virus.
It is really annoying though - and strange it only appears on RC!
Thanks for your help

Have you only got in on Rootschat? It is so annoying, isn't it!
I am having to try a few times just to post a message on here - I don't know if it is connected or a coincidence.
I only started getting it today, too.

I was just going to start a thread asking about my message but I'll post here instead as perhaps it's part of the same problem. For the past 2 hours or so every time I've loaded a new page on RootsChat I get a bleep and this message across the top of the page.

Like Judy's message, it's only appearing on RootsChat.

Hi Maggie,
I have been getting the same as yourself-blocked message? trying to get through only on Roots Chat.
Wendoree
-
yes i'm getting it as well
-
I am not getting my message any more!
The Cadbury's advert has gone, so perhaps you were right, Mike.
I hope Maggie, Doran and Wendoree, that you get your problem solved.

Just reporting in that my message has also gone, along with the Cadbury's ad.
Thank goodness for that as it was very irritating.

That's great Maggie. Seems like Cadbury's were causing it!

I must be a bit more upmarket than you, Mike - I've got Waitrose ;D
Have you lost the message too?

Hi
Maybe you should try Firefox?
Then use the add-on Ghostery.
I do, and have used it for 3/4 months.
What benefit does it give me?
Amongst other things, it blocks Google Adsense and Google Analytics (Sorry Trystan!)
Result? No adverts, NOT ONE.
More importantly, no waiting for adservers to respond, no inconvenient messages caused by bad coding of ads etc..
AND less to download on each page AND less to scroll through to get to Rootschatters posts.
Sounds to me that one of you should try it?
Cheers!
Ray
Sorry I Don't know [care] if there is an equivalent for IE/Chrome
-
Thanks Ray - I will have a look at it.
-
mine has stopped as well lets hope it doesn't come back
-
That is a relief! It is worrying when something like that happens, isn't it!
-
I had it too just on RC and like you its now gone. I hope it doesn't come back!
-
Well, it has put me right off chocolate!! .........almost! ;D
I think I had better lock it now - thanks for all your comments and help.
Judy

nice one Ray, certainly speeds up the page! :D

Enjoy!
