How do I stop the pop-up message boxes?

Hi, I find these very distracting. I can't see an option to remove them in preferences.
Thanks, Nick.

If you mean the boxes that ask if you really want to make that move, switch your preference to fast moves.

Hi Don, thanks for the response. I get a seperate tab that opens spontaneously entitled 'message box' which contains a random tip...

Hi Nick.

Yes, I remember that very rare problem... what's your navigator? It seems to me that it happened for one player on all navigators and nothig could prevent it.

Unfortunately this box is useful so that everything works fine for all other players.

Sure, by the way it is a general advice whatever the matter...

eg. "Ouch, it's hot - Don't use IE" :)

That said and more seriously, if I remember well, it also happened once on Firefox or Chrome for 1 player and I never understood why.

Thanks guys, yes I use Internet Explorer. So would you reccomend Firefox?

I just wonder how you survived on the internet until now with IE :)

Yes, Firefox is best... Chrome is much better than IE as well.

Really? (seems to me that I did not see you for a while, indeed)

So, how was this come back to society? Any regret (of the yurt, of course)?!

Nick: You were far better off in the yurt than in using IE ;-)

This happened to me (still does) using either IE or Firefox. I cant close the annoying tab, but I can just minimize it, which makes it invisible.

Well I was not completely removed from society as I had access to a house which was about 200 metres away. It was wonderful to live simply amongst nature, chopping wood & carrying water! Cold in winter once the stove went out, but a wonderful experience...
