FB Comps Problem

Options
Hi
When entering any FB comps, I've noticed recently that if I click on the link to go to the thread (rather than the page), I get a (large) pop up of the page and if I close this the same page is underneath.

I hope that makes some sense. It's difficult to describe what I mean. Does anyone else have this and how can I stop it, thanks.

    Yep I get this too, with a large black border. As you say, click top right hand corner and it disappears, but sorry, no idea how to stop it showing in the first place :(

    I thought it was my iPad, it's a bit bossy.

    Yes! This has been driving me mad! It's FB, because when you click a timestamp of a post it is opening it up this way rather than the old way. Grrrr.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!
