    Is the big bright yellow off-site contact warning permanent, or does it go away after you've been a member for long enough/posted enough?

    I thought there was an option to close it... maybe an X on the box or something somewhere? I haven't had mine since the day we were given the option to get rid of it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    When you're a full member you can close it.

    I'm not 100% sure.. but I think that you can shut it after 50 posts.

    Absolutely. You'll get a little blue minimise arrow when you have 50 posts.

    I had the x-ed this box out when I reached 50 posts. However today I came on to find the yellow warning box was back?

    You should be able to X it out again.

    Ya, but what made it re-appear? Did I inadvertently break the rule or something?

    Everyone has it I'm pretty sure; I did and I'd like to think I didn't break the rules.

    If I had to guess it's probably because everyone could use a little "refresher" on what the rules are.

    My guess is there's probably a cookie that, once you disable the warning, is set, and most likely you somehow reset the cookie or it expired. We don't re-enable it, so it would likely be a cookie or browser problem.

    Another ditto. I used to have the image ad-blocked too (something I did before the X was implemented), so I don't know why it showed up since I haven't messed with cookies, changed browsers, or anything.

    Hmmmm. Well, actually, it appeared for me as well, but I just switched browsers but assumed it was that. Odd. As far as I know, we haven't made any back end changes.

    A cookie must've expired. Hit the red X and it'll go away, works for me.

    Didn't clear cookies. I got it back, but I have the X. I am guessing that it was re-enabled because of a recent violation???
