Q about popup on desktop

[DizMe]

If someone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it. In the past week or so, I've had a white pop-up show up on the bottom of this site. It's a box with an arrow on top. It will periodically rise up and there is nothing on it (which I assume is due to ad blockers) but I have to click the arrow to make it go down again and it sits there a while before rising again.

I've had no luck removing it so I was hoping someone had a suggestion for how to get rid of it! Thank you. Here are some pics of what it looks like on my screen.

I've had this, but only on my desktop computer. I reported it on the Technical Support Forum: https://www.disboards.com/forums/technical-support.43/

@WebmasterCorey is this part of the "aw snap" page failure issue?

Thread 'Page failures'

Jul 29, 2025

Multiple times today, when trying to click into forums or into threads, I've gotten the following message:


Hitting "Reload" brings the desired page up. The only commonality is it's through my home network and the Dis (not on other sites). Anyone else?

Yes, this is only on my desktop. I added my experience on the thread you posted. Thanks! Hope it gets resolved.

Edited to mention again that it only happens on this site.

i got the same about the same time and it wont quote people anymore

 

[WebmasterCorey]

It’s a Chrome browser issue. I’ll have to do some additional digging.

That's just the ad bar in that case. Sometimes it has ads, sometimes it won't.

Technology can be a platypus sometimes.

How do I stop it? I never got it before.

@DizMe at the bottom of my screen it says "DISboards.com would like your permission to enable push notifications." Do you have that? Or maybe it is the prompt for cookie settings. I get that pop up once a month or so.

Yes, I do have that, but I'm afraid to click on the enable push notifications text. Is that enabling it or did I accidentally push that at some point?

Ok, so I opened the push notifications and I'd set certain things to be notified about but I don't think anything has changed. I never enabled anything to pop up (as far as I can tell). And it's just a blank box.

No, I've never enabled push notifications. That's why the notification always sits at the bottom of my screen. Hmmm.
