No offence if it's one of us but....

It is 6:55am CST on Thursday and he is on now, at the discussion board landing page, eating what appears to be cereal or oatmeal lol?

Haji-o's LOL

Not much to report on our little friend. I'm now wondering if ALL of us are seeing this. It has never appeared on John's computer though Nora has seen it on hers. He's there every time I log on though he seems to move around some. Sometimes he'll be in the middle of the screen and sometimes down near the bottom. I sent John a screen grab so he's aware and can pass that along to his I.T. people.
I agree, this is taking a long time to resolve. If you recall, the outages of last summer were lengthy also. In the meantime, don't click on it as there's a possibility of something being imbedded on your computer.

Oh, as to what he's eating.....I'm gonna go with Turkey Leg!​

I hadn't seen it yessterday, been in & out of the site through out the day. I didn't want to jinx it to find it reappears so I din't say anything. I just logged in a few minutes ago & it's not there, not sure whats going on. I really don't want to see it again. It's disturbing.

Have you tried installing an adblocker to your browser? The only time I have seen it was when I tested it by disabling my adblocker for the site. FYI, I use Adblocker Ultimate on Firefox but I guess most any will work.

Yep, he's gone for the time being, that is a disturbing visual for a site like John Dee. Looks like something from a bunker in the Middle East or something similiar.

Raj is gone but is replaced with a guy in a red and white striped shirt playing the piano and singing Christmas carols. That is a strange sentence. Says its at Casey's Corner. The pop up acted the same as with the raj.

All kinds of garbage on here now

Yeah, he's back, just a little farther down on the page.

And you're using an adblocker?

Another easy solution is to bookmark the "Whats New" tab and bypass that page altogether. https://johndeeforum.com/whats-new/

I get the comments about ad blocker but it really shouldn’t be there to begin with. They need full removal, not a bandaid

Totally agree!

 

[gary_in_neenah]

As of 5:33 p.m. CST our little friend is gone. At least on my view, he's been a constant every time I logged on but I don't see him now.

After 37 years in IT, we usually go with what works. We call them patches. I will bet John's IT people won't go after this for at least a week and their solution could very well be a "bandaid".

Still pop up junk for me on main page.

So many bikini shots....

I just book marked the forum page so I don't have to wade through all of the annoying ads and things.

Creepy shit is back again...... I hope it can be gotten rid of soon.
