RootsChat message blocks content
« on: Monday 04 March 24 04:07 GMT (UK) »
I suspect this maybe a problem at my end,
But I'm sure our RootChat administrators will not be pleased to see the abuse of their logo.

Clicking a link to open a rootschat page( eg Index) the attached appears and cannot be closed.
Any ideas?

Did that come up from within RootsChat or did it come from a link outside of RootsChat?

Hi
Erato, It pops up when you click on any rootschat link.
For instance Austrlian board, Rootschat Index etc. So answer-within
If am not logged in. 

Once logged in, I can move freely around the entire site, no problems.

Interesting Neale to hear I am not alone. Yes, last 2 days exactly.

I've had the same pop up too.  Glad to hear it's not just me.

It's really annoying . >:(
I wonder if it is just in Australia. Did yours start 2 days ago , Maddy?

It makes it hard to get into R Chat and you have to login fast as soon as you locate an "open window" and then just stay logged.

 That's how I'm coping with it, anyhow!

I had this pop up a couple of times yesterday when not logged in, I’m in the UK so it’s not just Australia.

Can I ask,
How you manage to work round it to login in the first place?

I just closed down Rootschat and clicked back in on my link and managed to get in ok.  I didn’t have the problem this morning though.
