This 'Have you sent your Secret Santa gift?' reminder thing.....

Is very annoying.

While it's a good idea, it seems to scroll up the screen as I move down a thread then get stuck in the bit where I type my post so that I can't see what I'm typing.

Anyone else having this problem? I'm using an iPad incase that makes a difference.

Aha... thanks cozie, I'll give that a try. It never even occurred to me to do that.

Several people have experienced problems, Witch - it looks as if the spreadsheet got at the gin one evening and played around with some of the donor name assignments.

I think those others have just changed their name to something Xmassy but unrelated to their usual name and then mentioned the nominee by Secret Santa name so that they can see it. That might work for you?

Does anybody know how to change to your santa name? I tried as my giftee has received her gift and posted on the thread but when I tried to change it, it said 'username already in use'. I can't post on that thread as me.

I clicked to say I'd sent my gift a few days ago, bit the button has reappeared. I'm confused.

I don't know what the little symbol is supposed to be, but it looks like a pig with a comb over??

Brb - pitching a new Mumsnet logo to Justine..

Yaaaayyy! It's gone now.

WorraLiberty · 10/12/2014 13:59

I have, haven't I?

You've broken it Worra!

Oh I don't think so OYBBK, because the message box and received button has turned grey (my message is still there...but in grey), so I couldn't use it to say thank you for another one anyway.

I should probably have mentioned the grey thing before

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/12/2014 13:22

Maybe you have another one coming Worra?

WorraLiberty · 10/12/2014 13:09

I've clicked to say I've received my SS gift and it took me straight through to the thank you thread, which I posted on.

So why hasn't the reminder disappeared?

I've logged out and in again but it's still there at the bottom of my page

I'm using desktop, Google Chrome on a PC if that helps?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 02/12/2014 08:02

mine has been sitting over the 'post message bit' requiring some careful finger manoeuvring. I won't be able to get rid of it until my parcel arrives, which is ok, but a challenge!

Don't worry.

Gift is sorted.

Reminder has been clicked - and has now vamooshed! Phew!

Afraid that I started typing on the ipad (in safari) and it still wouldn't do it.

cozietoesie · 30/11/2014 21:44

....As soon as I start typing.....

Ah. Give me a couple.

I'm using safari on the iPad

As soon as I start typing, it jumps from the bottom left of the screen to sit at the top of the keyboard and then seems to move up bit by bit until it obscures my typing.

My plan now is to sort my secret Santa and get rid of it!

cozietoesie · 30/11/2014 21:02

Sorry - I meant device and browser etc. (I'm sure you haven't been at the gin!!)

cozietoesie · 30/11/2014 21:01

I can't replicate that on the laptop, the Mumsnet app or on Safari on the ipad.

What are you using, Much ?

It looks like Miss Piggy in a motorcycle helmet... or with a Sixties 'bob'.

Gunpowder · 29/11/2014 08:31

Oh fab. Thanks cozie.

cozietoesie · 29/11/2014 07:45

Of course you can. MN have just done it to help out if needed but there's no need to use it if you'd rather write your own.

Gunpowder · 28/11/2014 23:36

(That is, hand write it onto your own label.)

Gunpowder · 28/11/2014 23:36

If you don't have a printer can you just copy all the info on the label?
