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;
	}

      I have always found it funny when people think in Black and White. Windows is my choice of OS, and I understand it and somewhat like it. However, I don't blindly accept or like all of it. Heck, Windows 11 is a dogs breakfast, just as Win10 was, and basically Microsoft's past 10+ years of direction. Having said that, Linux certainly has its place. And while this isn't an attack on Linux, I think the people who blindly think Linux is the answer are just as bad as blinded Windows users, if not worse. Windows is attacked for being "basic" and "bland", as is MacOS in many situations. There's a good reason they are basic and bland, and its partly why they're so popular. They targeting a broad audience. People who use their PC as a tool for work and casual browsing, or right up to people who game or programming stuff. It also needs to be robust, and hard to break. Windows has come a long way with that since the 9x days, and while still has a few vulnerabilities, it's unlikely to be unusable or unstable by messing with some settings. I however managed to destroy the stability of a Ubuntu desktop within an hour (not deliberately, I was trying to get a custom UI), and struggled to recover from it just by changing a few settings. Stupid I know, but it was so easy to break. That is why Linux can't be mainstream in its current form.

      I mean at this point, why even have a desktop? Just open a browser window full screen and send her to her homepage. Access to anything she needs right there. Could be on Linux, could be on Android, heck could also be on Windows 11. No one would know!
