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;
	}

    • Not $299 as it runs the same hardware SOC as the S25+ and ulltra and such but yes it should be cheaper like Maby $500
    • Apple releases massive slide deck to help children convince their parents to buy them a Mac by Usama Jawad The competition between Windows PCs, Apple Macs, and Chromebooks is fairly decent when it comes to the education sector. Chromebooks are typically priced very competitively but are sometimes underpowered. Windows offers wide compatibility with software but may increase overall licensing costs, and finally, Mac offers similar benefits to Windows coupled with premium hardware, but is the most expensive of the lot. That said, these are mostly generalizations and your mileage may vary according to your use-case. However, Apple is now ready to help children convince parents that a Mac is the best device for their educational needs. Over on its website, Apple has published "The Parent Presentation", which is an 81-page slide deck aimed at children in order to facilitate them in convincing their parents that they should buy their children a Mac. The slide deck is available in multiple formats including PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote. Needless to say, the slide deck does serve a business purpose but it's also fairly humorous in tone. For example, slide 7 speaks from the point of view of the presenter (the child), saying that they'd love to take their parents to college with them but since that's not possible, they would like to take a Mac to college instead. Then, slide 11 talks about refers to "thoroughly researched evidence" that proves that a Mac is the superior option because it is durable, reliable, and "compatible with my major". You get the gist. That's not all though. Apple has released an accompanying YouTube video on the same topic by comedian Martin Herlihy, you can check it out below: Of course, it's quite unlikely that any child will actually use this slide deck to convince their parents. But it's all in good fun and makes for an interesting marketing gimmick. If you don't want to bother downloading the massive slide deck yourself, you can view it online in Google Slides too.
    • well if we go back in time to 2013 the LG G2 phone that i owned was the best on the market at the time 5.2" LCD 1080p display it had 4gb of Ram ( might have been 3GB ) android KitKat out of the box but was upgradable to Android 6.0 it had the best Built in Audio Dac 24bit/192khz playback Hi-Fi audio and a snapdragon 800 2.2ghz Quad core and 32gb of storage and the Camera was top notch at the time . but beyond that what help make it really good was a3,000mAh that allowed 20hrs of video playback and 26.7hrs of talk time and the Phone was only 5.45" (H) x 2.79" (W) x 0.35" (D) now compared to the galaxy S25 edge that is 158.2 x 75.6 x 5.8 so we have come along way since the LG G2 ( Miss that Phone) but i think the edge while yes smaller battery and camera is less still has its place and people who will buy it
    • Reasons are unknown? Yeah, the reasons are, it wasn't needed when you already have the S25 plus out. It was a stupid waste.
    • Muskrat is a liar (saying no driver needed) just like Trumpette, the Putin puppet. It's so sad they had a lover's quarrel! They worked so well together being lying buddies. One and the same.
