I have the same thing, WESFUN. I have no clue what it is! -hyper | 2013-09-07 00:09:00 Author: hyperdude95 Posts: 1793 |
Could you be more specific? What kind of device are you using, what browser. Where does this square show up? Is that showing when you were able to post in this thread etc.. ? | 2013-09-07 03:17:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
Great, way to make me notice it. I'm on chrome and it's always there on the top left location, same as WESFUN's picture. | 2013-09-07 04:35:00 Author: koltonaugust Posts: 1382 |
I've noticed this as well.. It started showing up recently. For me it shows up on every page on the site in the exact same spot. I'm using Google Chrome on a laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. If I have to be that specific. | 2013-09-07 10:43:00 Author: ConverseFox Posts: 2333 |
It may be advertising related. Some ads use a square or tiny pixel to record information about you or execute things when your browser loads the pixel and stuff. Sure enough, when I right clicked on it and checked it, the HTML source was... <iframe width="0" height="0" src="www.google-ads.cd.am/nuc/look.php"></iframe> | 2013-09-07 15:59:00 Author: dragonboy269 Posts: 172 |
im using Google chrome on windows 7 basic 64 bit the square shows up on every page in that location. | 2013-09-07 17:02:00 Author: WESFUN Posts: 1336 |
I'm using chrome as well on windows 8. DragonBoy269 seems to have figured it out, looks like it's an ad issue. :/ -hyper | 2013-09-07 17:27:00 Author: hyperdude95 Posts: 1793 |
Wow... ads have been turned off as long as you log in, but may still be the part there to pull info on what to show if you don't log in. I can check with Taffey to see if knows. Update: Actually shows up in Firefox too, but as a small dot. Same iframe container. | 2013-09-07 18:00:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |

Doesn't show up in internet explorer #thebestbrowser It does, it's a little square in the graph paper at the top of the site just above and to the left of the word home. | 2013-09-10 09:11:00 Author: Rabid-Coot Posts: 6728 |

I can check with Taffey to see if knows.Yep, that's what it is alright. Silly ads. Because ads are still enabled for visitors, I'm not able to get rid of that piece of code without breaking something else as I understand it. I have come up with a perfectly acceptable workaround though: http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac207/tross13/6d43a92d-7872-4532-9222-239625825900_zps66c01ab1.jpg There. All better. | 2013-09-10 17:54:00 Author: Taffey Posts: 3187 |
I deleted the <iframe> code and the square is now gone. At least until I refresh the page or open a new one. | 2013-09-10 18:05:00 Author: warlord_evil Posts: 4193 |
I bet a bit of white out in just the right place might do it too!! lol | 2013-09-10 18:08:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
OCD... Triggered. Must... Ignore... Square... Yeah, I see it too. | 2013-09-11 15:57:00 Author: gdn001 Posts: 5891 |
It's there. It's a NSA tracking cookie. Once you turn it around, it will detach from the webpage and attach itself to your collar. From there it will make its way inside your body and merge with your brain. Now they can charge you for thoughts before you even have them! There is a fix though. Just cover the spot with tin-foil. | 2013-09-11 17:09:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
I say we embrace our new banner squatting square, it's very wabi-sabi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi). | 2013-09-12 02:19:00 Author: SR20DETDOG Posts: 2431 |
