bloody sliders are back

on the front page of chat.

I close it. I read a thread. I go back to the front page. It's back. I close it. I read another thread. I go back to the front page. It's back. I close it. I go somewhere else on the site. I go back to chat. It's back. I close it...

grr. It's bad enough having it appear once, but at least I thought I could close it, but it WON'T REMEMBER that I've closed it.

Firefox on a Mac.

Thank you for the feedback it is very helpful, we'll look into adding the option to opt out and report back.

We've released a fix which should address the closing problems some were having. If happens again for you give us a shout and we'll take another look.

an opt out would be good, I have just managed to train myself not to get cross when I stary onto the drop down pictures at the top of the page and get the whole caboodle about pregnancy stuff etc now I have a recurring and annoying little blue box sliding on downscreen... stop it already. Once I could cope with but every time I go onto something else it reappears. seems like you are onto it though so just have a whinge Smile

I was just going to say it's the going back that doesn't clear it. Not sure which is more annoying constantly popping up sliders on the mobile site or the huge amount of stickies on the app. Argh.

EveryGoodBoyDeservesFun · 26/06/2014 09:38

I'm getting the PMQs slider on a PC using Chrome. I've tried closing it but it still reappears when I go back to Active Convos.

Patilla · 26/06/2014 08:46

Sliders still here on safari on iPhone if I go back to active conversations.

bookcave · 26/06/2014 08:27

Yep, still there. Firefox, laptop. It's reloading very single time I change page.

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 26/06/2014 08:10

'Think PMQs is outdated, unprofessional...etc' is the slider I have. Its on active convos. I have same set up as tally, on phone.

TheFirstOfHerName · 26/06/2014 08:05

I'm using a Windows Phone and the one about PMQ reappears every time I go to a new page (e.g. click on a thread). I have to close the slider every single time. On an average visit to Mumsnet, this involves having to close the slider dozens of times. Not cool.

QueenOfGeeks · 26/06/2014 07:44

Yes same here, it's appearing on Active Convos using Firefox to access mobile site on Android phone.

enormouse · 26/06/2014 07:26

I'm getting it too. On PQT.

I'm on a kindle fire and using silk.

Tallypet · 26/06/2014 07:23

I've got it too. On the active thread page.

I am on an Android phone (Samsung) and using Chrome browser. On the mobile site if that helps. All about PMQ

MortaIWombat · 26/06/2014 07:15

Still got the PM's QT thingy. In firefox.

FunkyBoldRibena · 26/06/2014 06:21

Ditto. It is very tedious.

Littlefish · 25/06/2014 20:48
Furball · 25/06/2014 20:04

Just coming on to say the same as Littlefish

Cooey there Littlefish - I will organise a mail for night out soon!

Littlefish · 25/06/2014 19:37

Still there.....

On Active Threads in the bottom right hand corner. Bloody annoying it is too.

Shosha1 · 25/06/2014 18:56

I've got it on iphone too

iK8 · 25/06/2014 18:52

Is there an opt out for sliders? I don't do stickies and I don't want to do sliders either please.

well cake ought to be a good incentive, so here's hoping...

Not sure that even at the best of times sliders are likely to do anything but make me close them to get them away, but presumably someone, somewhere, thinks that they will be good adverts!

We think we've identified the problem and you're quite right it seems to be browser specific and to do with the back button. Sorry you were irritated today.

Tech are working on a way to fix it asap. We shall ply them with extra cake and encouragement.

It's basically impossible to use the back button now. You can close the slider all you like, but if you navigate from page to page via the back and forward buttons, rather than clicking specific links like 'talk' etc, then it just keeps re-appearing. And if you are on a slower connection, it is much, much more convenient to use the back button to get back to a page of thread titles than it is to reload them each time. This will get seriously annoying if there isn't a way to sort it out!!

Today's irritation is about PMQs.

Hi RunAwayHome,
Yes just to confirm we're testing that slider out on chat to try to identify the problem so you may see it for the next little while.

Please try closing it and let us know if it appears again for you.

Thank you all for info, we'll ask tech to take a look ASAP and in meantime remove from active and chat until we can fix.

Sorry folks

PandasRock · 23/06/2014 19:25

Me too. On iPhone, mobile site, and on iPad main site.

Every time I click through to active convos. Bloody annoying.
