new look??
 

There is a LARGE message at the top of my page saying 2 new messages. I've never seen that before. Is it an advertisement or did the board change something? I want to know before I click it in case of a virus.

I am getting the same thing. Think it's another service advertising to get you to subscribe to another mail service. I may be wrong. Will wait for other answers.

Thanks, I'll wait too.

If you put your cursor on the sideways triangle in the upper right corner, it says Ad Choice and the X says Mute This Ad.

all we need is more spam ....

Indent have that on my screen but I'm using an iPad so that may make a difference. But up at the right of my name, it says "Notifications" with a 1 after it and I know for sure that is a personal message because I got a copy of it in my email.

It worked. Thank you for this hint.

something must have attached itself to your browser or computer.
that is not a board generated event.

I haven't seen this. Might be PatriceJ is right.

I get this on a regular basis, but never click on it as it appears in the space for ads at the top of the screen.

I got this yesterday but no so far today.

Thanks so much!!!

You will still get ads. The X only mutes that particular ad.
If you "opt out" you're not really opting out of getting ads. It will opt you out of relevant ads for you, which means you'll get all kinds of ads, "some in different languages."
So it looks like ads are here to stay. I just read an article about that yesterday in our newspaper. To try to cut down on ads, use a different search engine other than Google. They track you.

I get that on mine too, I just ignore it. I also get "3 friends defriended you". I don't do facebook, never have, never will! I just laugh about it, and think that's nice, didn't know they ever "friended me" to begin with! LOL!

I see it too once in awhile. just something else to ignore.

What cracks me up is when the ads start popping up according to the name of the thread you are reading. If the thread says "Dresden plate quilt", some ad regarding dinnerware, or cooking pops up!

Sometimes someone will send you a personal message wanting an explanation to something you may have posted. I have received several.

I did click on it and yes it's a come-0n. I immediately got out
and "unsubscribed."

It is an advertisement.
