Windows 8

Google Chrome

Deleted anything neowin from history.

Dumped the cache

Deleted all neowin cookies.

Open up again, and the damn 4 square ajax loading spinner stays on nearly every page.

I have the exact same problem. It's annoying as hell!

If I had to guess, its related to the notifications. Will have another dev look at it in the morning.

If you mean PM notifications, that's working. The comments, however, are not working for me either in IE10 in addition to the bug I filed earlier.

Just like to say it's been like this for a long time for me.

Site still works fine. Just always has the loading square in the top right

This is the behavior as well on Firefox/Windows 7 and Safari on Mac OS X. Haven't noticed it in iOS. The spinner sometimes seems to get stuck spinning (although I'm not always sure if it is just getting some content somewhere very slowly) but everything still seems to work OK. I haven't had issues where I am unable to respond to comments due to it (I think)...

It shows when the minispy is updating, or when you are saving a post in the forums.. I'm on Chrome Beta/Windows 8 and it doesn't stick for me, but we'll get Redmak to take a look.

Out of curiosity, are you using AdBlock on Neowin? because I believe that blocks certain elements of the minispy, which we can't do anything about anyway..

I just finally used Ad Block to create a filter and selected the spinner and blocked it to finally get rid of it.

Had this issue with IE10; blocked it with a custom stylesheet:

.spinner[id="ajax-spinner"] {
	display: none;
	}

    • Impressive Microsoft has done this without saving for Windows 12. Pretty sure this the first time they’ve done an in-version start menu revamp (Windows 8 tinkering aside)? 🤔
    • I use the start menu the same way but what it comes down to is that wasn’t what was intended, it works like that and I appreciate it, but there is no need for all the unnecessary cruft that comes along with it for that. Look how simple Spotlight is on macOS to perform the same function. If I could kill off the start menu from running altogether, I’d be perfectly content because I could use Powertoys Run. Then it comes down to that not everyone uses it the same way you and I do.
    • No major Siri upgrade announced at WWDC 2025 as Apple confirms delay until next year by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar Apple has wrapped up this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 keynote. The company announced a bunch of new updates for its operating systems, services, and software. We also got Apple skipping the number "19" across its software version and instead jumping to "26" for a unified naming. So, now Apple software is known as iOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26, and iPadOS 26. iOS 26 received a major makeover, which Apple touts as the biggest redesign since iOS 7 in 2013. iOS 26 now brings a "glass-like" design called "Liquid Glass," most noticeable on the lock screen and home screen. Then there is a much-talked-about "Call Screening" feature, which shows information about the caller and lets users decide if they want to pick up calls or not. Amidst all the changes to iOS 26 and other operating systems, Apple also touched upon the highly anticipated Siri upgrades announced during last year's WWDC. Back in WWDC 2024, Apple announced that the new AI-powered Siri upgrade that would understand personal context would arrive by fall 2024. However, the roll out was delayed and was suggested to arrive in spring of 2025, with the beta expected to arrive in January 2025. But that also did not happen. Now, at WWDC 2025, Apple said that details about the AI-powered Siri upgrade will be shared in the coming year. Here's what Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi said: This only means that the Siri upgrade isn't ready for launch, and won't be a part ofthe iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 developer betas. Also, the phrase "coming year" doesn't offer a concrete timeline, but it does suggest that we will likely hear more about the Siri upgrade in 2026.
