Pop-up/Chat?

[JJ_Tex]

I know I have been under a lot of stress at work and could be seeing things, but I swear I just had a pop-up when I clicked on "What's new". I was working on my other monitor and caught it out of the corner of my eye.

I'm pretty sure it was a personalized message to me, from someone in TFP. It went away before I could do anything and I cannot re-create it, or find anything in my messages, alerts, etc.

Did anyone else see something similar? Is there some chat feature I'm missing? Am I just crazy?

PS - If someone was trying to chat, message, or use ESP, I truly was not trying to ignore you.

I just saw it too -- I thought it was maybe a test of a new feature

Same thing it popped up and disappeared for me before I could read it

 

[JJ_Tex]

Well, at least I'm not crazy. Anyone have any ideas what it said?

Happened to me too. I couldn't get it to come back so I could read it, either.

I'm wondering if @Leebo is expecting feedback? If he is, I hate it. I hate popups. I especially hate popups asking if I'd like to receive notifications.

Yes, I got it too this morning and was about to start a thread asking what it was. Looks like I'm not the only one. Like was already mentioned, it disappeared before I could read it in full.
I don't mind pop-ups, but I was expecting it would also show up either in my inbox or notifications. But I don't see anything there.

I wish I would have seen this post before I spent 10 minutes trying to find a message from some mystery suitor!

 

[Leebo]

Same here. I saw my name and before I could read the rest of it, it was gone and I can’t recreate it.

Any chance you were logged out and it was the welcome message ? Anytime I do banking or whatnot I clear my history and the next time I hit up TFP I get the ‘join us and fill out a siggy’ message.

 

[PoolNewb2020]

Not a welcome pop-up for sure. I got a glimpse at it before it diapered and it was something about obnoxious and PM messages. That's why I went looking for it.

Russian bots trying testing their influences on us first before election time ?

Let’s just say that wasn’t supposed to happen. The test I was trying failed, because a certain somebody is a bumbling idiot.

Sorry for the mess up-it should be turned off now.

Not to worry! It was just a ID 10 t error.

Good to know I wasn’t the only one w/a mystery message! I have searched all over to find it.

OK,same thing happened to me. It was on my android phone. All I coudl read was the word obnoxious, and something about a direct message. I think it said something like Im trying to not beobnoxious on here, so direct message me. But then it was gone. I probably spent 30 minutes trying ot find where in the forum I could re-see this alert. Then I spent last 5 minutes brainstorming if I should post this, or if I was crazy. This thread calms me down, and confirms that even though the world has gone crazy, I have not.
