The box troubled me too.. in the same game...
I'm glad I'm not the only one. This has been bugging me for awhile but it's such a little thing when compared to all the great stuff we get on this site, still, it would be nice to get it resolved.

Isn't this only on chess.com's homepage?
Whenever your mouse pointer hovers over the bookmark pane (1), the floating window (2) of shared bookmark websites is displayed. It is maintained until you move your mouse pointer out of the screen areas 1 and 2.
Click on "super bishop zugswangs ..." by Eric Schiller and underneath the game board is a long nearly transparent rectangle with reads, comments, and stars and where it was posted in. In that rectangle is a smaller rectangle with that bookmark thingy. It's also on the home page but doesn't get in the way of anything there.

So it seems you have to avoid that white rectangle at all costs. It would be better if it you could skid across it at high speed and avoid it popping up.

you can avoid the oppening of the full box, but you can't avoid the small box icon, which is on the game notes.

I'm using Google Chrome. As I step through the game, the game notes completely cover the bookmarks button. I can't recreate the problem you're having.

This only happens with Internet Explorer, if you can change to Firefox for this site do so. It's available for free download and is a must for Live Chess if you want to play that.
Yeah, I used to have the same problem with internet explorer, and now it's fine with Firefox.
Thanks for the responses guys, unfortunately I'm stuck with internet explorer so I'll just have to live with it.
Why can't you get Firefox?
Weird. I use Internet Explorer, and I was able to click thru the game fine. The dialog box for the comments ended above the share bar and there was a scroll bar at the right if the comments were longer. So I could read everything fine - with Internet Explorer. ???
This used to frustrate me, but I found a way around it. Click on "move list" and read the comments in the game text. The text is rather light, but you can see all the comments and get the full impact of it, without those annoying little pop-ups that, for the life of me, I can't figure out why they are there. Hope this helps!
I don't know if this has been brought up before but how do I get rid of the "share" box that is always in the way of game commentary? I don't remember it being there when I first joined but it's been awhile now and I figured it was time to ask. I was looking through fm Eric Schillers excellent post about a Bobby Fischer game and I missed a lot of the comments because of that little white rectangle with a white cross in the red square next to the word "share" and some other symbols. I clicked on the box to try to find some way of closing it out but couldn't find anything. Any help would be great, thanks
