On the Gameboomer Forum screen, in the black space towards the top (between and below the boxed titles "Forum" and "The Adventure Shop") a small blue box with a white cross inside appeared today. If I click on it, I get sent to a Big Fish page where I can purchase a Dark Parables game Can anyone else see this box ??

I don't, but then thanks to Jenny, I have my ad-blocker on. Perhaps they are trying to help pay the bills with a little Big Fish ad?
Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

Well, anything that helps pay the bills sounds OK !! But there is already a "Big Fish" box, quite close to the little cross, that gives direct access to Big Fish when clicked on

Are you happy to just leave it there, InlandAZ ?? EDIT : Something else I have noticed is that : A) Although I opted to be emailed if anyone answered my post, I wasn't. AND B) Although I selected "Add Topic To Your Watched Topics", the little marker isn't showing. It's all getting really weird !!

I am culprit. I placed a banner for Big Fish Thursday. Then I went out of town for the weekend. The Big Fish banner info lapsed. I didn't have the link to the server to delete the whole thing. To not have the lapsed info floating around, I ended up deleting the banner alone. It's a puzzle in the ongoing GameBoomers adventure.

Thanks for explaining, MaG Until InlandAZ posted, I was beginning to wonder if something was going haywire at my end. My two other "weirdies" are still happening but that little box has disappeared for me, too, now But your weirdies, oldbroad, seem more severe !!

Mad, Please verify the watched topic by (after selecting the topic on "Topic Option"): - Open your My Profile at top of page. - At drop down menu, select watch list. - Select the "Watched Topic". - Then check the "edit watched topic" a little to the right side of the frame. See if the e-mail notification is checked.
This of course depends if you already checked the e-mail notification at "edit preference" at My Profile.
Oldbroad, That is weird. Please clear your temporary internet files.

Hi MaG I have looked again but as far as I can tell I'd already done everything you suggest. And I've never changed my Profile Preferences. [That's the first place I looked.] I've always opted to have email notifications for both private messages and Watched Topics. However, I wasn't notified of any of the replies I've received to this post and the little "Watched Topic Marker" has still not re-appeared

Wonderful !! Thanks very much, MaG. Everything is back to normal now [I didn't think I was logged out because I did keep checking what showed next to the Welcome Mad" box.] Anyway I'm just happy all is well again

Hi MaG, Still all weird but it's not hurting anything. Still getting the little leftover box on some pages, a green "start download" button on the walkthrough page and the site menu on the left. (Was that always there on pages other than the homepage?) A couple of pages do have the Interact button, like the GB Interviews page. I only saw that because I'm looking for problems. I think it's on another page too. Anyway, please don't worry about it. I imagine it will be back to normal one of these days soon. Thanks!

If you haven't done a deep scan with your Malwarebytes lately, I'm thinking now might be a good time.

oldbroad, if you right-click on that download banner, then click on "properties", it looks like it's an ad from Google Syndication. BTW, I don't remember the GameBoomers Sites list always being on the left side of the Walkthroughs first page. I think it may have been moved to make room for that download banner at the top.
Wouldn't that jar your mustard!
