What browser are you using? If its something that was installed as an addon then in most browsers you go to the settings and look at extensions or addons. If you see something about ''im an addon bar'' then that is probably what placed that there.
You can usually disable or remove it.

I use Chrome. I'm doing a scan now to see if it is malware.

In chrome you can press the icon in the upper right corner that looks like ..after that click settings, and on the left second option down should be extensions. You can see what bars may be installed under that option.

That was a nice try but I still have this odd tool bar that only shows up when on this forum. It has a "Share" message with an arrow. CLicking on it shows places I can post from this forum to facebook, twitter, etc.

Ahhh. That was appearing for me recently too, Dan. I'm sure it's just another thing Robo is adding to try and get the site more compatible with other social networking sites.

Maybe? It only shows up with Chrome, not explorer. I've tried all sorts of things and it won't go away. I even did a system restore.

Are you using the mobile version of the site? What you described is the mobile version of the new social sharing buttons that we added. In the full site they float on the left. In the mobile version of the site a gray bar appears at the bottom as you described. Are you using the mobile version? Anyway in that mobile version you simply click the arrow to the right of the gray bar to remove it (but I'm not sure if it will stay removed on successive pages).

No. I am using the regular full site. When I click the arrow on the right, it comes back. Not sure what to do. It only happens in Chrome.

On Internet Explorer I see the buttons on the left. In Google chrome I get the gray toolbar that says "share" with an arrow. It must be an issue with Chrome. I have Chrome version 28.0.1500.95 m, if that helps.

Problem is fixed. I had an older version of Chrome and it would not update. So I deleted it and reloaded it and everything is fine. Thanks to all who answered and offered advice.

:D

I have it on my tablet on explorer. It's a nuisance having to click the 'down arrow' each time b4 posting. I'll try the same trick of deleting my browser and reinstalling it. Good grief.
