Sliders on Mumsnet

Hello everyone,

For a while we've realised that not everyone is aware of all of the different things happening across Mumsnet including webchats, book clubs and much more.

Over the next few weeks you may see little sliders appearing from the bottom right announcing upcoming events or things we think you might find interesting. We're trying out ways to let everyone know what's going on and this is part of the experiment.

If you close the slider by clicking on the 'X' then you won't be shown it again and they'll only be shown in select parts of the site.

As ever any feedback you have is always welcome so keep an eye out for them and let us know what you think!

The miscarriage one was NOT welcomed today

I don't mind this, as long as it's occasional and it definitely goes away for good when clicked.

So far so good. I don't know that it's adding anything but it's not bothering me at the moment.

Fucking irritating. There's a reason I'm not clicking on my local, it's poo. I do check it every so often. Damn thing slides in, ruins what I'm reading and won't bog off til I click the button. Wrong move and it opens it.

It's right given me RAGE!!!

Thank you. You've given me the final impetus I needed to go back into Customise and get rid of your recent additions to the site! I know you want to keep adding features, but it's getting horribly cluttered. I suppose you have to default new features to 'On' rather than 'Off' so that people can see them, but it's getting so things flicker all over the place if you don't hide them all.

Was just about to grumble about this one, until I realised that it actually went away when I told it to get lost.

Got one this afternoon. It was just as well that I'd read Jessica's post or I'd have been yelling about unwanted pop-ups!

So when are they starting?
