Weird problem, maybe board related

Post by Rogue 9 »

There's an annoying drop down menu box that appears on the right side of my screen a little below the centerline whenever I change to a new page on this board. It happens nowhere else. This menu box has no entries in it. It moves with the page when I scroll, but disappears when I scroll it off the top or bottom of the screen and then scroll back. What gives?

Maybe you caught something from the Internet. Obviously no one using Blacksoul (including me) has seen it.

Does that appear pn other BBS pages? Try entering on other sites with forums and see if it does. If not, I'm clueless.

JS...sounds like JavaScript, which I think can be used to create something that you're suggesting.

Well, I got rid of the virus, but its still doing it. Looked up the virus in the McAfee virus guide and its supposed to open a minimized window that's hard to maximize or close. I've had some problems with that lately, and now I know why, but this is something different.
