Thread: Elongated Rectangle with Blue Box in Center Containing Question Mark

Found at the bottom of some members info......

I give up......what does it mean?

So to see one, look at the posts of randydance062449 here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...one-tried.html

I had thought it to be a broken link.

I don't see such a rectangle. Are you talking about the Skype link just under "Blog Entries?"

Affirmative Henry, I have not thought to hold my cursor over the aforementioned rectangle but when I do, I get send a Skype message to....mystery solved, almost. Not sure if I have put Skype on this Mac. All video chats have been done with Facetime.

It must depend on the browser being used. The rectangle I see has no question mark. Instead it says "Send a message via Skype to RandyDance062449" all the time without any cursor movement.

I get the same. Your computer must have gone defective Bill

OK, my puter is in peak condition Ed, faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive...... and I was too lazy to confirm the supposition put forward by Henry David...it is indeed the browser....I have been using Safari (where the elongated rectangle occurs) but just switched to Chrome and in Chrome I see what others see......So mystery truly solved (with an unjustified slight to my spiffy IMac).

sorry, i will direct the slight to apple's safari browser instead then

Here's what I see in Safari:


And this is in Chrome:


Used to be icon for the skype status of that member, but skype's server is not serving these icons now so there's the broken image with the note.
I suppose I can disable those altogether if people are bothered by them.

Does anyone actually use the skyping link anyway?
