What's with this, DS?

At the bottom left hand corner of my page is a big orange sign that says "Office" and next to it is says "Microsoft Office stories - Roll over to learn more".

Being the curious person I am, I rolled over it, and...


A new page came up.

At the top of the page it says: "Powered by MEEBO"

Then it says:
"This is James. James makes his own cheese at home. He ages them in his cheese cave, actually a small, dorm-size fridge, and he uses Office to manage the whole process (Excluding the eating.) Try it for free."

--------
Well, good for James.

But I personally find that orange box rather intrusive.

It's one thing to have the Meebo bar that you can't make go away, but this orange thing has got to go.

" I only had it a few days and I HATED it....it was always in the way and that other page was popping up constantly.

Then I installed "NoScripts" for firefox and it got rid of it, along with the chat bar....just what I wanted. "

" Thanks bobbi3 for the heads up. That meebo is driving me nuts. I could care less who is on line and I do not chat very well. I just sign off meebo and that settles that little intrusion. But what orange box are you talking about Chris? "

" Well, that explains it. I turned off my NoScript this morning. It was more of a pain than the adds. At least from my view. "

" While I find NoScripts a pain at times - especially when I forget to click on it when I go into a "new" site but being without the meebo bar and ads is worth that slight inconvenience.

And yes it would be great to be able to edit our own post - maybe until the next comment is posted? "

" The orange thing is still there and I swear it is growing bigger every day.

Is there any way (other than no-script) that we can remove this?

And if this is removed, will there be something to take it's place? "
