Dark overlay on screen
« on: November 22, 2017, 10:45:19 PM »
Is anyone else having problems with a dark overplayed window that comes on when you try and read a post? Sometimes it's black sometimes a dark grey.  Sometimes it has a x allowing you to close it but most often not?
In the top right hand corner there is a blue square and crown as in the list on the left but that sits just offf the screen.

RazorX reported something similar. I don't run anything on the site that does overlay ads that I'm aware of. What type of device and browser are you seeing this on.

I get this too.only on my iPhone and only if I view the page as a full site. If I switch to the mobile site the issue goes away

Thanks guys. I'll check with my ad Network to see if there's a reason this would happen.

Are you guys viewing the full site when this happens? Or the mobile site?

Tyler,

I happens when I'm on the full site with my iPad.  Home screen opens fine, but usually the dark screen occurs when I click on a thread, within minutes of logging into the SBG site.

I just removed another piece of code from the site. I'm hoping that solves it, but I'm working blind so I have to rely on the feedback that you guys provide me.

Can anyone tell me when this started for them?
