3. Nor me. George, can you describe more or include a screenshot? Is this a browser issue and not DU?

6. Okay. Late last night I right-clicked on another forum. When it opened there was a notable white stripe at the top.

The stripe went all the way across the space leading to a new blue box
for "Open".



I simply found the white stripe annoying and thought I don't need that to
go to another forum. Upon opening the new forum it appeared in a whole
new window and I saw that as more clutter on my already "self-cluttered" desktop.

This morning I've changed my tune. In the screenshot below the white blank space leading to the Open box has been subtly replaced with DU Start a new discussion etc. along with the option to "x" out.



This is a nice, new say to access another forum and start a new discussion.
I apologize for getting riled up.

We have not made any changes. That looks like some kind of bookmarking function in your browser (I don't use a Mac so I'm not very familiar with desktop Safari, sorry).

8. Thank You for getting back to me Earl. I believe you're right. I'll deal with it.

As under my breath I'm thinking "Stupid Mac." "Silly Safari".

I'm going to respond to the folks who replied to my original post then self-delete it.
