    Black search Bubble on Right upper screen of Y& R forum.

    This annoying black search bubble keeps reappearing, with no " X " out function. On the upper right of my screen.

    I saw it, too. I actually thought something was wrong with my laptop.

      Thank you for responding. I thought it was my Samsung tablet. The black bubble does not pop up on my P.C.
      or my cell. Weird. I wonder if it is a V Bulletin issue?

      The most irritating thing is that it prevents me from logging out.
      It moves around like a bug.

    I am thinking that this may be a hack to make sure we check out the commercial content that keeps invading our screens.
    We press the black bubble and it leads us to the Ads.

      I actually clicked on it, and it's a search engine for the website.

      VixensVamp The Black Bubble does not appear on my main PC only on my Tablet. My main PC
      has AdBlocker. The bubble covers the logout function so I am forced to press it.
      I think it is an Ad search spam.

    I am going to put AdBlocker on my tablet and see if the black search bubble disappears.

      CloverLeaf My P. C. has AdBlocker and has no pesky black search bubble moving around like a cockroach.
      My Android has no AdBlocker, because it prevents you from watching streaming films.
      The Android has that black bubble and it moves right to your log out function. You have to move the screen carefully
      not to touch it.

        That black search bubble is getting on my last nerve! It is like a cockroach. It follows me to the " Post" tab and then up to the
        " logout function" so you have to wiggle the scroll down so you don't touch the bubble!
        Someone rid me of this meddlesome pest!

          I wish I could help you Ruythroat1, because I haven't been a whole lot of help with your technical problems lately, but I'm not seeing any black bubble. I'm sorry to be such a huge technical failure!!

            Thanks! I think you're more help to me than I am to you!! I usually use a laptop, but I do have AdBlocker, so maybe it's actually doing what it's supposed to do. A miracle!

            If you have AdBlocker on your Android, they will not allow you to stream films.
            They make money off the Ads.

            I do not know what happened, but today I logged in and suddenly that Black Bubble is gone.
            How refreshing not to have it hopscotching around my Log in, Log out and searches

                I am not sure if it was VBulletin that cleared that obnoxious little pest Black search bubble from my screen,
                but I am very grateful.

                      Indeed it is Ruby. So disheartening.

                      Ok this is weird. I just downloaded the Trend Micro toolbar for Chrome. Since I did that, all the advertisements and that horrid black bubble are gone. Am I living in a dream or is this temporary too? I sure hope not. Wow!

                        I still don't know why that Bubble went away for two days and then came back!
                        Maybe I should use Chrome.

                        Chrome itself wont get rid of the bubble. I installed the Trend Micro (my virus protection) toolbar for Chrome not realizing that it also serves as an ad blocker! Wow! It's great. No bubble and no advertisements. I was shocked and am extremely pleased.
