Flashing box over the TDR logo

[paccool]

A few days ago someone posted about a rectangle box flashing over the spinning TDR logo at the top left corner of the forum page. Mine wasn't doing it so I didn't think to much about it. I turned on the computer tonight at home and now mine is doing it. Was fine today at work. The box is slightly larger than the logo, the bottom 1/4" is a grey color, the next 1/4" is a red color and the top 1/2" is black. The box is about 1 1/2" wide. Is flashing about 2 times a second and is a real PITA!



Steve, HELP!!! How do I turn this off or get it to clear up?

Mine is still doing it this morning. Funny thing is that it is all black now. Its also doing it on the home page and classified pages. Looks like it is the logo itself.

When clicking on a forum topic the spinning blades stop during the switch over. When this happens, the flashing black box goes away. Seems to be tied into the spinning part.



THIS IS REALLY IRRITATING!

Hmmmmm, that's strange. Did you upgrade or change browsers? It's an animated GIF and I've never heard of that happening before. Try this link - https://www.turbodieselregister.com/images/tdrspinsmall.gif - that's a direct link to the logo. Is it doing it there?

Steve, it's not doing it now. I went to the link you gave and it was OK there also.



I have not made any changes on this end, that was why I was wondering what was going on. The flashing was not a steady flash but was pretty fast. Was really distracting when trying to view a page.



Anyway, thanks for looking into it. I'll let you know if it comes back.

Steve,

Its back. I went to the link you provided and it is doing it there also.



It wasn't doing it at work today or on this computer this morning but it is back now.



Additional comment- After writing the above, I deleted all cookies in my computer. This included all temp files. Now the flashing box is gone? I'm not sure whats going on at this point but it sounds like it is on this end.

Maybe this has a direct corilation to how many beverages are consumed the night before?



I drank 2 beers lastnight and mine is doing it too, I'm getting dizzy and my stomach feels like it want to turn inside out



cheers, Kevin

Hey Kevin, maybe that will help! It has been ok for the past day. Maybe the next time it does it I'll dump a 6 pack and see if it helps. At least I wouldn't care as much!!
