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.

iPhone here. Mobile site. Bottom page of active conversations and everytime I'm on active conversations it reappears.

Seems to be promoting a thread.

Very annoying indeed.

It's popping up on active conversations about politics.....

I have got this now on the mobile site. It's on active convo's and appears every time I go on the page regardless of how many times I have hit the cross. Which is tricky to do on my mobile.

Me too, about asking questions of women politicians I think.

It's not annoying me though!

Came up when I was browsing active convos - about asking politicians questions or something. Its rather annoying - obscures bottom right hand of page.

I'm getting it too. Every time I go onto active convos. Its about politics.

It was the main page of Chat, and I think the slider was about politics today (miscarriage the other day)

Mine was about politics I think, and on active convos and any thread I click on (using iPhone, I never log out)

I get that too, it's a pain in the backside trying to hit the X to close it on a small phone screen.

Hello there, that definitely seems amiss and sorry that must be v annoying.

Can you help us work out what's happening please? When you say front page... do you mean the home page of mumsnet.com or of talk? or Active maybe?

Also, were you always logged in and on the same device?

Finally, do you recall what the slider was reminding about? We have a couple running so we're keen to identify the culprit.

Thanks Thanks

yes, in blue, about mumsnet things rather than a general ad I think.

It seems to be related to whether I've used the back button to navigate or not (I normally do, as it's by far the quickest)

Is that the ad that keeps popping up on the bottom of the screen? I've got that on my active convos list but not in the actual thread. I'm on my iPhone.
