Cypress Sun Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It seems to only appear if the thread is 3 or more pages long. I don't know of a way to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I sure wish the webmaster would dump this feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 It's not an actual pop-up... rather, it appears to be a separate column on the right side of the screen that displays basic statistics for threads of over three pages. Functionally useless information for most of us, but it has the effect of not allowing access to the font settings when posting a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I’ve seen it a few times. I clicked something and it went away so I ignored it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I don't get it on my phone, only on my PC. But I don't get poster info or signatures on my cell phone either. The nice thing with the phone though is I don't have to get out of my recliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Zoom in and it goes away. On my Apple, "command" with "+" two times makes it go away. At the moment I can not remember what the equivalent keys are on Windows. As to "fixing" it, remember that this: The search index is currently processing. Activity stream results may not be complete. has been on the site for months. It showed up after a software update. This is something that should be fixed, but I recognize the skill level required to fix without breaking more may not be on staff. Best not to sweat it, just enjoy this forum. And zoom in to get rid of the sidebar, or zoom out to make it show up. It is more of a "feature" than a bug or software failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
