I have never seen it, have you changed your preference settings?
Ask Valk for help.

I haven't experienced this
You can send a PM to IB Cheryl on the Internet Brands team here explaining the issue you are experiencing

Hey guys, thanks for letting us know. The onboarding screen shouldn't be appearing over and over again, so I'm discussing this with our tech team and seeing what they can do about the issue. Thank you for your patience!

So, we are unable to reproduce the issue on our end unfortunately. If you guys come across the screen again, can you take a screenshot and post it here, as well as give details on how often it shows up? Also, what device/browser you are using would help as well.

Thanks!

Only once for me but it was today. It was on Windows 10.
You still have not corrected problems with small case letters being used for starting sentences on my iPad.
It seems to me that you guys make one step forward and two steps back, do you have any experienced programmers or just interns?
This site is going downhill, change for the sake of change is useless, go back to what it was before and do little changes one at a time and not wholesale rework of the programming.

@onehundred80 The auto capitalization issue we were able to replicate and has been fixed on our end, and we have not received any other complaints of it since our tech team took care of the issue.

Unless I get reports of the auto capitalization issue from another user, we are considering the issue resolved. I would appreciate you either PM me with the issues you are having, or keep the conversation going on the original thread so as to not interfere with the issues others need help with.

I’ve noticed that it comes up every time I open the site on an iPhone or iPad

aitomatically opens in mobile version. I switch to full version

first click on any message and the black screen pops up

everytime

Our tech team is rolling out the changes to rid of the onboarding screen in the situation you described. It should no longer show up in the next week or so. Feel free to follow up next week if it continues then.

Mozilla is the browser
Haven't experienced it with IE 11
