Why do I keep getting this “Enjoying this thread? Why not add it to your watch list” message every time I move on to a new page of a thread that I haven’t posted on?

It’s bloody annoying that when I’m starting to read a thread that’s 20 pages long this nonsense message pops up every time I move on to a new page.

Lots of threads I just want to skip through and not engage with, so I really don’t want to add to a watch list. Stop asking me please.

Thanks Becky. Perhaps if it must be switched back on, give us a 'I know how to watch something' tick box to stop it appearing.

Christ. It's Saturday night. Go have a beer or something.

Thankyou for switching it off Admin.

Hello again - we've turned it off and will review it next week. Apols for annoying everyone.
What exactly do you need to review @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet?

Nobody wants it as, at best, it is irritating on general threads and ,at worst, it is shockingly insensitive and inappropriately worded for more sensitive topics.

If anything needs "apols" it's those who have been upset by it on topics regarding bereavement, terminal illness etc.

Thank you!

I didn't get it, but I assume that's because I see the thread as a whole thing, no pages.

Becky, if it's for advertising revenue than selecting a few topics would be understandable, but NOT for bereavement, terminal illness, pregnancy decisions etc.

zigzag56445 · 27/11/2021 19:25

If you really must, perhaps different wording and ONCE per thread...

(but don't... just get rid)

Genuine question, but what is there to review? It's a resounding no from everyone on the thread. Surely you can't be thinking on turning it back one again? Confused

Make it stop!!!

Polkadotties · 27/11/2021 18:12

Please turn it off. Doing my head in!

gamerchick · 27/11/2021 18:06

Yeah it's irritating. Does it have to come on every page on the thread?

DinaofCloud9 · 27/11/2021 18:00

Oh I'm glad to see this. I thought it was just me. It's really winding me up, I just end up clicking off the thread.

Chemenger · 27/11/2021 18:00

Please make this stop. If I’m enjoying a thread I am perfectly able to put it on my watch list all by myself.

Soubriquet · 27/11/2021 17:54

Happening to me now and it’s incredibly irritating

Enjoying this thread?

It's really annoying, please get rid of it, MNHQ!!!

@CherieBabySpliffUp

I've not had this but I have opted for 1 page for the whole thread rather than 100 posts per page (I think?) It might be a coincidence but maybe give that a try?
On my phone browser I don't have an option to expand the thread beyond 20 posts per page.its an option on desktop but not on my phone

Hello everyone - thanks for the feedback. We'll pass it on and get back to you as soon as we can with an update

oviraptor21 · 27/11/2021 16:20

Another vote to turn it off.
I knew there would be a thread on it!

BorisKilledMyHusband · 27/11/2021 14:41

Another vote to stop. Very intrusive.

Crunchymum · 27/11/2021 14:40

It's in the bereavement section as well.

I'm already watching the thread I post on but there are other multi-page threads in that section I have read and I'd be appalled to have seen the "enjoying this thread" message pop up.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 27/11/2021 14:39

I actually think you want people to stop visiting your site
Between This bollocks and that ridiculous Xmas trending shite you've made sure I spend a ton less time here

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/11/2021 14:37

Agree it’s a proper pita. Take it away

TheCatWearsPrada · 27/11/2021 14:01

It's annoying but so are many many posters who keep track by leaving an F or full stop on a thread.

TooBigForMyBoots · 27/11/2021 11:15

So annoying @MNHQ, please make it stop.
