I just discovered this by accident.

Click mouse3/scrollwheel button and hold it. Then move the cursor to the top of the page, like where you click to drag the window around. A little white box comes up after a couple seconds.

When i do this on the darkfall forums i get this message:

"Hello, long time no see. I've been out of the forum for a long time since there was nothing new about darkfall, but i feel like coming back, and i'll do it with a RP. In this RP humans, mirdain, and elves form an order called the Order of Alarea in order to keep the frontier with the...."

If it means anything im using Firefox 3. It doesn't do the same with Internet Explorer, it only seems to have the dialogue pop up when the cursor does not morph when you hold down the scroll wheel, like it remains an arrow not a different cursor for scrolling.

Weird..I'm going to go test this out in a few different websites and see what happens.

This is the thread where that text is contained.

I actually just sent a pm to Bastian about something....maybe thats it. You guys should try viewing a thread, then pm'ing the OP and hold scroll wheel then mouse over the top bar. See what happens and report your findings.

Um, are you sure it is not just going backwards in your page history or something?

I never viewed that topic so no. It has something to do with PMing the OP of a thread. This could be something hackable.

Edit: I PM'd zanzir and now the box says "ArdentAngel's Avatar"

Next i will try PMing an OP to see what's in the box

Ok, i PM'd an OP and now its showing the first little paragraph of this topic here. Next i will try PM'ing in a place other than Off topic, since i clicked the users name through off topic. I PM'd Bastian through the RP forums.

I solved it; It just show's the last tooltip that was up; try leaving your cursor over the reply button for example until the tooltip 'reply' comes up. Then do what you said in the first post, and the 'reply' tooltip comes up again. That thread must have been the last tooltip you had up (if you hover over a thread title in the forum, the tooltip contains the first few lines of the OP).
It's just a (minor) firefox bug. Ie, no conspiracy.

No. I did the same thing on my guild forums and it brings up a post i've never seen before in the box.

This appears to be a FF3 exclusive problem, or incomplete feature.

Yes, this seems to be FF3 only. The box is filled whenever i PM somebody on some forums with either a post that person made, or some random shit from the UI.

I use FF3, and I'm not having any problems.

This is prolley it yo...

Is it in a yellow box? If so this is it, just move your cursor over so its not chilling over a link.
