psteve Reviewed by psteve on . What's the black square mean? Sorry but I'm not real good with computers. I came back to this site after a 5 year absence with the intention of helping others as they helped me. Granted I don't have as much free time as I would like. You almost have to be unemployed to answer a lot of questions. About the black square--does it mean someone doesn't like my input? The only time I disagreed with a post the poster got upset. Unlike many 'experts' I will not repeat the same answers they read over and over. In this Rating: 5
