I will page you from in here as opposed to doing a vanity, I am sure you will see it regardless.

I don't know about the rest of FR, but on the main "News/Activism" page, where all the thread replies are listed I keep seeing these HUGE, absolutely monstrous "message boxes" appear... Right at the top, above the thread titles.

Several of them have been quite lengthy, many paragraphs.. The last one contained this:

summer: HEY!

Q: Guess who took the time to write a special thank-you note to FR posters?

A: JEB BUSH!

There was some stuff from "Greyfox" in there previously also.

Is FR broken by chance? Is this normal and if so can I SHUT IT OFF somehow? (cause it's really annoying)

Regards.

And I just checked again and now (of course) it's gone..

"Poof" just like that..

What the heck was that?

Saw it too. Maybe it's a version of the irritating thingy Jim used to have up that ran a post from the [state] locale page. Those always went away, too, after you refreshed the page.
