Page 2 | The pop up for "my feed"

Whinge · 08/07/2023 10:44

consider me fully advertised at. I’ve had ample opportunity to read about ‘feed’ and decide if I’m going to use it

I can't remember them ever pushing a feature as much, even Premium wasn't this heavily advertised. I don't understand why they're so keen for everyone to know about a feature that the majority of users don't want and won't use.

Just echoing to say I’m still getting it every so often. Can you not put a stake through its heart MNHQ?

Hello, everyone. You should only see it one time in one session on the site and will not see it after that. You also wont see it if you have visited feed before. If you're using a private/incognito browser or have cleared your cookies then you will see it in your next session.

As always, please let us know if there's any issues and we'll take a look.

While it’s not coming up on every single click now, it’s still appearing occasionally which will be very annoying if it’s left in place indefinitely.
@mnhq Could the tech people have another go at making it disappear after one view per person as intended? Or else get rid of it and replace with something less intrusive. Thanks.

I’m getting it about once every hour, which is so much better than every single page, I feel I can live with hourly.

Purplestorm83 · 07/07/2023 22:04

Popped up just now (as every time I open mumsnet). I don’t want to visit the Feed is that the only way to get rid of it?

MavisMcMinty · 07/07/2023 19:47

Just popped up once in the last hour, and I can live with that, anything’s better than pop-ups on every single page.

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 07/07/2023 19:44

Fine for me now too thank you. I didn’t do anything either.

LadyTemperance · 07/07/2023 19:42

Still popping up on my iPhone.

Chenford · 07/07/2023 19:35

Looking good for me…

AngryBirdsNoMore · 07/07/2023 16:43

Thanks Mumsnet! It’s now gone away for me after a visit to ‘the feed’.

Brefugee · 07/07/2023 16:30

But what is it supposed to actually do?

LilyMumsnet · 07/07/2023 16:13

Hi again everyone

Thanks for your patience here - we know this has been a real PITA.
We've released a fix now and so we're really hopeful that it's all sorted now. Of course, do let us know if this isn't the case.

MavisMcMinty · 07/07/2023 15:18

Oh no! Just got it back again, about 5 seconds after clicking on this thread! But it had disappeared for 10 minutes or so.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 07/07/2023 15:06

The pop up is gone!

it’s like a dark cloud has lifted

i hae a question. (have only read this far, my bad)

I use an incognito browser because MN doesn't work for me on any other browser. So I'll get the pop-up every time.
No biggie i can click it away.

But what does it actually do?

PurpleParrotfish · 07/07/2023 14:50

Hang on… just clicked on about 4 different pages without it appearing once!

Has the curse been lifted?

MavisMcMinty · 07/07/2023 14:50

OMG it’s gone! Thanks MN.

MavisMcMinty · 07/07/2023 14:49

I spoke too soon last time, but I didn’t get the pop-up after clicking “1 new post”!

Katrinawaves · 07/07/2023 14:48

Me too. Safari on iPhone not incognito

Thanks for your feedback - we're sorry to hear this is still causing problems for several of you. Could we please ask you to try clearing your browser cache / data to see if that resolves things?

Heh, I don’t even know what those words mean. Wouldn’t it be better if Mumsnet removed it altogether? Could the techie who designed and installed it be asked how on earth you can turn it off? And could this episode be a reminder not to install uninstallable pup-ups ever again?

Why not put the info up as a “promoted” thread at the top of each folder, in future?

As for “my feed”, I already have “my feed” - notifications from threads I’m on or watching, then scrolling through folders such as AIBU and Feminism for a thread title that catches my eye.

Sometimes things are fine as they are.

How about no to that. You should be sorting it at your end.

Lizzt2007 · 07/07/2023 13:42

Safari in iPhone and it's every page for me too. I tried completing my preferences but didn't help.

It happens to me on every single thread!
It’s the most annoying thing ever please sort it out.
using Safari, not in any private browsing mode or incognito
