      I'm not quite sure why, but something about the way you worded this makes me absolutely crack up.  I suppose because I felt the surprise too.  It used to be much smaller, but it was there.  I think it's to make sure you don't overclick thinking that it's over when it's not.  That's my take.  I don't know.  I suppose perhaps standing back a little while your writing might be good.  As you can see from my one eye I have depth perception problems so it hasn't bothered me.

    Same here pest. I was writing away, and the rotating symbol fired up every few seconds.I wonder if that is why hubpages is taking so long to load. I have found hubpages pretty slow lately. Maybe teething problems with the new interface?

    It was irritating me too, what I also noticed on the last 2 articles published is that I have many readers and my scores are going down and not up, that has never happened before. Am I losing my mind?? First it goes up and then down, maybe I was up to late last night. On one of them the comments are equal to the people so I am a bit confused, maybe I pissed someone off. I have been doing that lately. sad

    That swirly thing is annoying and a little off-putting.  Thought it was subliminal advertising put in by HP

    I wasn't sure what this post was referring to until just now when I added a few capsules to a hub. It really *is* maddening, can that rotating logo possibly be removed please???

    I kind of love the swirly thing - its irritating yet strangely addictive.  Since it appeared I LOVE HubPages and will do ANYTHING to serve them.  Could it be some kind of subliminal brainwashing???

    And it blocks the save button so I have to scroll up or down to avoid it.....maddening I say bwaaaaahhhhaaaaaahahahahaha

    I agree. It's a little much. I thought I was going crazy when I was editing a hub because it kept popping up. I thought something was wrong.

    The darkened backsplash with the HP symbol when saving hubs and within the forums when editing and submitting threads is irritating, as well.
