I am not kidding, it looks like a little slice of lemon pie. It appears at different places on my Community column.

Is this a default of my computer or some kind of a PBS "in" joke. (Like swapagoat).

As far as I am concerned, one of those goats needs to come and eat this piece of pie.

Is it like this > or is it really like a yellow wedge or something similar? If its this > that means there are more things under that heading to acces by hovering your mouse over it.

I think I know what you are talking about, it is a little piece of yellow when you hover over the My Account or Community tabs at the top.  It is like there is a minor hiccup in the system and part of the underlying screen is showing through on the drop down menu.  this has happened to me a few times but it isn't anything more than a hiccup at that time

I don't have it all the time, just some of the time!  and I think it sometimes depends on what page I'm on when I go to hover on the account or community tab!

and if we're having pie I want pumpkin!

I get the "bleed thru" from the items on the page thru the drop down menu too. Took me a bit to figure it out!

No, it is not a >           It is a piece of lemon pie. Right now, it is hovering over the o's of the 50's. It has a darker yellow crust, and the slice of pie is lighter yellow. It moves around and only appears when I first access the Community Page. If I go away and come back to Community, it is not there.

It would be OK, but it makes me hungry every time I see it!

I found my lemon pie! It isn't bleed through, I don't know what it is. I've seen it on the Custom DC before. Something to tempt you into Top 50s? Follow the pie....

It IS bleed through of the screen behind! If you click on Help Center and then hover  over Discussion, you get blueberry pie. Its anytime the menu drops down over a rounded corner of a colored box.

<can anyone tell I don't want to work ;) , searching for the lemon pie is much more fun>

Well, I searched around and all I get is lemon pie. No blueberry pie anywhere for me :(

And I thought the lemon pie meant I won a special PBS lottery..............

Nancy is right. It is bleed through, I finally figured out where it comes from. How strange.

It still makes me hungry whenever I see it.  I am still looking for my blueberry pie. I am sure it will show up, now that I know what to look for.
