Annoying "Unwatch/Save/Share" taking up screen on mobile site

Raccaccoonie · 28/02/2024 16:04

Hi, not sure if this is deliberate or not!
I've posted on a thread, now when I revisit it there is a pulldown type thing saying "unwatch/save/share" that stays there when I scroll down the thread, taking up loads of space. It's annoying! It's at the top of the thread but I can't scroll down past it as it moves with me when I scroll.

I'm on Android mobile site.

Thread is https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5017941-should-we-be-educating-young-people-about-the-danger-of-financial-vulnerability?reply=133378167

I keep track of my Threads I'm Watching just fine, and never save or share through the site, so would rather this disappeared!

I had my dh view the screen in zoomed it's still the same.

I meant I had my dh view on my device UNzoomed and it's still the same.

Can we also double check if you have the screen zoomed in?

Whereas I don't have my screen zoomed.

I'm also on an iPad 17.3.1 system and it's still doing it.

Just had a look on my iPhone XR, which also has 17.3.1, and it stays at the top of the screen on that. Irritating (I'd rather it wasn't there at all) but much less so than floating down over what you're trying to read.

Can we just check what device and browser you're using and can we ask if you're using an adblock at all?

I can't add videos so this is the next best thing. Click on the arrows and that's what it's like.

@HebeMumsnet sorry it was chat not AIBU!
What do you mean by stays in position it's about 1/3 up on my screen and you have to scroll with the words going under it if that makes sense. I can't view a page of text in that way.

Catsmere · 06/03/2024 10:10

It's stuck in the wrong way on my screen in Chat, the very issue everyone is complaining about - as you scroll down the thread, the bar is blocking the text, it doesn't disappear from the screen as it should. I don't, and I doubt anyone else wants, to have it anywhere but out of the way, whether top or bottom of the screen.

barleyseed · 06/03/2024 09:45

I have also had this stuck banner thing, which stays in position as I scroll. It causes vertigo and makes the site impossible to use - I don't use sites with this sort of visual effect. I luckily am not seeing it this morning, but will log out and leave if I do

HebeMumsnet · 06/03/2024 09:42

Hi again @DragonFly98 . You should only be seeing this banner on Chat now so if it's still showing up in AIBU or elsewhere could you let us know? Also, the banner should be 'stuck' at the most recent end of the thread and stay in position as you scroll rather than move about. Is that the case?

HebeMumsnet · 06/03/2024 09:08

Thanks for letting us know @DragonFly98 . We'll take another look at this today and be back when there's more news.

DragonFly98 · 05/03/2024 23:56

I cleared my cache that just logged me out, logged back in it's still doing it and also on AIBU for me.

Catsmere · 05/03/2024 21:42

I cleared my ipad cache yesterday, or does this refer to something on the site?

LilyMumsnet · 05/03/2024 21:25

Hi all

If this is still appearing for you, please could you try clearing your cache and keep us updated?

Catsmere · 05/03/2024 20:18

Yes, it's disappeared from AIBU, thank goodness, but not from Chat. I haven't looked at other sections lately.

DragonFly98 · 05/03/2024 20:09

When will this be fixed please? As I mentioned I can't read threads in the normal way due to by disability so I simply can't read any threads where this has been added.

I’ve just tried to read that linked to thread.

To be fair, if the watch thread button was in a fixed bar at the very top and very bottom of each page of a thread that would be spot on. It’d be more efficient than going to the drop down.

But the scrolling always there thing is intensely irritating and would is hugely off putting.

I agree, fixed at top and bottom would be ideal. But is it necessary at all? Those options are already there in the drop-down section, it's not a huge job to go there to use them. I'd have preferred to have the arrows a little bigger, so easier to touch.

DragonFly98 · 02/03/2024 10:23

@LilyMumsnet that's great you texting it do you know when that will be? Thanks

TeaandHobnobs · 02/03/2024 08:00

I was just about to post the same - it’s so irritating!
I get that the functionality of not having to scroll back to the top for these buttons would be helpful, but the bar floating over the text is not good.

Catsmere · 02/03/2024 01:24

Sooner it's fixed the better - I was reading AIBU threads this morning and it was gone, but appeared on one in Chat just now.
