Every time I log on to Mrs. Survival there is a blinking green box with the word "Loading" in it. It blinks about every 30 seconds the whole time I am on this site -- every time I'm on this site. It's located at the top of the page. I have never noticed it at any other internet site. Does anyone know what it is? It is giving me the "willies"....hope it doesn't mean Big Brother is watching!!

It is the "Shoutbox" re-loading / refreshing.

Try clicking on the minus sign on the far right side of the Shoutbox title bar to close it. You may have to do it one more time after you change pages. That should get rid of the green "loading" box. It works for me.

GLORY BE!! It worked! Funny how something like that can put the ol' tinfoil hat on your head and all manner of things come to the imagination. Glad no one is watching. It really was worrying me .. for months. Thank you so much!

Yes, it works, but it also closes the shout box and I enjoy seeing what's being posted there. Though I must admit that I was learning to ignore the loadking notice. Amazing what you can get used to that perhaps you shouldn't. :animal0017:

I asked the same thing a long time ago. It was driving my crazy. I know, short trip. Now I rarely notice it.


Until now. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

So true Mother. We get used to a lot of things we probably shouldn't.
And don't even notice when we do.
