Greetings, ra1224!
Your Credit Union uses Java and ActiveX on its webpages. I am guessing
that you have Java and/or ActiveX disabled in your browser.
The sign-in page for your Credit Union is here:
https://www.cusa-hfs.com/cgi-bin/hfssvc/peoplescu/hfs.html
In order to use this, you must change your Browser Security settings.
If you are using Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" at the top of the
screen, and select "Internet Options". Click on the "Security" tab,
then click the "Custom Level button at the bottom of the dialog box"
Under "ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
Download signed ActiveX controls
select the "Prompt" option
Download unsigned ActiveX controls
select the "Disable" option
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe
select the "Prompt" option
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
select the "Enable" option
Under "Java permissions"
select the "High Safety" option
Then click "OK" and click "OK" again, and go to (or refresh) your
signin page:
https://www.cusa-hfs.com/cgi-bin/hfssvc/peoplescu/hfs.html
Be sure to set "Java permissions" back to "Disable" when you are done
with your session.
A further note... Your Credit Union brags about not using cookies.
Instead, they use ActiveX and Java, requiring you to have those set to
access levels that may leave your computer open hijacking by spyware
or other malicious scripts. In my opinion, the potential for harm here
is **FAR** worse than that offered by instructing your browser simply
to accept cookies fromt this particular site.
If I were you, I would complain quiet loudly and long to my Credit
Union for doing this with their online banking. I would also refuse to
do online banking in this manner, and I would move my account to
another institution.
Before Rating my Answer, if you have any questions about the above

I hope that this Answer has provided you with exactly the information
that you needed!

ra1224,
I've been doing some more poking around, and I'm convinced that the
red square, green diamond, and blue triangle are being generated by a
firewall or adware/spyware blocking program.
Is this happening on your home computer, or a computer somewhere else?
If it's on your home computer, do you have a firewall or
adware/spyware blocking program installed?
Are you on an IBM-compatible or a Mac machine?
What is the name and version of the Browser you are using (i.e.,
Netscape 4.0, Internet Explorer 5.5, etc)?
Thanks,
