nomoss Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Recently a white triangular icon on a square red background hasappeared in the top LH corner of my screen on all pages of this forum. When I click on it, a small window slides out with themessage “Something's gone wrong", with a green button "RELOAD"below. I have not touched this button. At the bottom of the window is the triangular symbol withthe word “agate”, plus a “!" button, which produces an email form to [email protected], and a gearwheel button,giving a choice between “FAQ", which opens a new, blank, browser tab, and"Help & Support”, which gives an email form as above. Looking at the link “agate.one”, it is a service enablingpayment for web content. Is this just something added to the site by Archant, or isit a bug picked up from somewhere?

YCCMB Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 It's an Archant thing. I followed a link (I think the popup only shows more info if you enable it from a Complete France page other than the forum) and it explained that it's a tool for accessing paid content from the magazine that's not automatically available online. So, a paywall by any other name. Not sure why it needs to appear on the forum.Apparently, Archant are constantly exploring new technology (they say, I paraphrase). Clearly not for the forum software, though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napoleon Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thank you nomoss for raising that and for B's explanation. I noticed it, ignored it and wondered what it was. I suffer from "lazy old man syndrome". Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
