Every time I go to a new page I get that chat alert (called a security warning). I understand that it's probably safe but I don't want to click 'run'. Is there a way for me to disable it, so I don't have to get that popped up in my face every time I go to a new page?
Thanks!

The pop-ups were bugging the crap out of me too. I gave up and just clicked on the thing. Now I just have a box at the bottom of the page that asks for my user name if I want to sign in to the chat thing.

^I have that box, too, Sparklymouse. What bugs me about it is because I accidentally signed into it once, it somehow (oddly) remembers a part (not all of) my password. I would rather that not be the case due to security issues. The other thing, that may or may not be related, but sure seems coincidental to the chat being added on, is sometimes logging on (here) takes much longer. I usually click onto "log in" on the top of this page. Now, to to avoid the chat thingie, I have to scroll to the bottom the page (above chat thing) and sign in that way. None of this is any big deal I just would rather the chat not "remember" part of my password!

The chat doesn't ask me for a password at all, just my user name. I use the "always signed in" option on the board, and a few times in the past few weeks I've been randomly kicked off after a few minutes and have to log back in. Strange.

^I stay logged in, but had to re-log in a few times in the last couple weeks, too. Not sure what the issue is.

^What I meant was it shows my password (now it's showing my entire password) in the "Username Box."

Hm. Mine shows a box for User Name, but it's empty.

^Lucky. Lol. This goes hand in hand with the "chat room" thread in "Meeting Adjourned." I think it would be fun to do a group chat but since apparently (at least for the sign in) this doesn't "forget" you, I'd prefer to stick with Yahoo Messenger.

I did sign in once yesterday. When I came back today my user name was still listed in the blank, but all I had to do was delete it and it stayed gone. Yours is weird, zoar3.

^It sure, is Sparklymouse. Here are two things that make it "weirder." My Dad and I each have a computer. Mine runs on Win7, his on Vista. When I use his, the blank shows the last three characters of my password. When I use mine, it shows the whole thing! I always "delete browsing history" before logging off the computer. I think doing that includes "deleting cookies" which should equal this. The second thing that is truly is that deleting what's inside the box only works for a few seconds before it comes right back! I promise I am not making this up. Only one thing left to do: Kylie, where are you? P.S. Editing to add something I forgot to say in my first post about this. The chat box was added onto the boards a couple days ago, right? Whenever that happened, I kept getting not a pop up ad but something telling me to approve (I think) java. Like some of you it did make me finally hit "run." I might have even had to do that a couple times. In any case, KYLIE, we need you!

The chat room should be at the bottom of the page, wiggirl. I don't think it will show up until you accept the add on, but I could be wrong.

Hahahaha, I love it! The only reason I noticed it was there was because I always use the "page down" key and now my cursor is automatically in the stupid chat box, so I have to click on the page before paging up or down.

This darn thing is causing more trouble tonight. Ir now shows my entire password and a part of it in the "username" box. This afternoon, anytime I signed on here, a pop-up blocker would keep "popping up" at the top of the page. I think this thing needs to go pronto or be fixed!
