  Been like this since the last update and it doesn't want to go away. Not too fussed where it is now but sometimes it covers the whole bar which isn't ideal!

  

  Any ideas or fixes much appreciated :)

  Can you left or right click on it to find out what it is?

  thanks in advance for any pointers Scott

  edit - ahh, that's about as clear as mud. blue highlighted box says 

  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="gameclient" data="http://media5.wgt.com/preloader.swf?0.62.5234.27148_1019" width="100%" height="100%"><param name="base" value="http://media5.wgt.com/"><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="quality" value="best"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="BRAND_PHASE=3_2014&amp;JIRA_BASEPATH=http://jira.exitgames.com:8080&amp;QA_USE_NODE_AS_SUBDOMAIN=1&amp;QA_USERSUBMIT_URL=http://game5.wgt.com/jiraproxy/&amp;NEUTRON_URL=game5.wgt.com/router/&amp;GAME_TRANSFER_PROTOCOL=http&amp;GAME_SERVER=game5.wgt.com/gameserver/2_0f/default.ashx&amp;MEDIABASE_URL=http://media5.wgt.com/&amp;ALTERNATE_MEDIA_BASE_URL=http://media5.wgt.com/&amp;DYNAMIC_MEDIA_BASE_URL=http://dms.wgt.com/&amp;COMMUNITYBASE_URL=http://media5.wgt.com/assets/community/images/wgt/&amp;COMMUNITYSITE_URL=http://www.wgt.com/&amp;USER_AGENT=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Dragon/33.0.0.0 Chrome/33.0.1750.112 Safari/537.36&amp;brandBoostEnabled=true&amp;allowIFrameOverlay=true&amp;isChromium=true"></object>

  a lot mentioned about media5.wgt.com in the text on that page? If you right click and open the pic in a new tab it's a bit clearer

  I'm not bright enough to decipher all that, sadly.  Any possibility that it could be added to AdBlock or something like that?

  I get this too but only with Comodo.

  What I do is far from ideal but I'm pretty sure it's down to the latest Adobe flash update as that bar is a shadow of the preloader bar.

  1. As it's loading right click on the bar and select 'inspect element'

  You then get a script and a section of it will be highlighted in blue,

  2. Hit delete, to remove the highlighted text. WGT will go black and hang,

  3. Hit the refresh button to reload WGT.

  4. This time as its reloading hover your cursor over the area of the preloader bar. 

  This moves the bar to the bottom right side of the screen, which for me at least, is less of a problem.

  started to get that bar last night in middle of game... found that if you go from full screen to smaller screen and then back to full screen, it will clear the problem, but it most likely will come back because it did for me.  I didnt want to quit the game so i used this method to finish the nine and then i shut down computer and restarted... no problem since... this was with comodo also

  Could it be this?

  Yes, that's the one Scott. Comes up.. waiting for this, that and the other then just goes black.

  One thing with saving the game, this is when it moves around across the meter bar. Tried saving and reloading a few times in one game and it didn't get rid of it and a couple of times made it stretch all the way along, covering the ding. Pain in the butt.

  Cheers John and Ray, yep using commodo. I'll give your tips a go next time out :-)

  Blimey, can't be doing with that box on the right. If I select full b/spin then want to change it I can't see it or click on it, lol

  Going full screen then normal didn't get rid of it either :(

  It's only on the game screen it happens, on the forum pages it's grey, does it's loading thing then dissapears. Only black and stays on the game page? Fix that and I'm sorted.
