Thanks for the firefox thingy, have installed it.

theyoungvisiter · 04/11/2009 17:17

oh my god I'm so glad it's not just me! They're sweet but sooooooooo distracting. I have my own children to yap annoyingly distract me while on MN, I don't need cyber ones too.

Mañana, mañana. (No really, it's tomorrow). Thanks for your patience - we've passed on your complaints about it to the BBC incidentally.

They are still on JustineMumsnet - less than a month, hmm??

How can I hide them?

TheHeadlessWombat · 21/10/2009 15:58

How much longer now before they leave us?

Blackduck · 11/10/2009 17:24

I HATE them too - ... make me want to reach for a machine gun..

smoking2shoes · 11/10/2009 16:56

Thank god it's not me - I was going to start a Chat topic and then thought I'd be flamed for picking on 'cute' little kids

"luckily it doesn't come up on my work pc"

Says a lot, actually. I just tried visiting the /Talk page in Firefox on a PC which I was given the other day, and it reports the need for Macromedia's Shockwave Flash plug-in.

If you use Firefox, the visit here or use "Tools" menu then "Add-ons" and then "Get add-ons" (or "Browse All Add-ons") and the browser will go off to the correct page at Mozilla. Then search for "Flash blocker" and install the Flashblock add-on, and you will no longer be annoyed!

Glad I'm not the only one btw.

mumblechum · 08/10/2009 15:52

If you right click on the mute symbol on the bottom right some hands come over the camera which is significantly less irritating.

I also want to stuff the little brats into a toybox, luckily it doesn't come up on my work pc.

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 08/10/2009 15:39

And they keep making me jump.

TheHeadlessWombat · 08/10/2009 15:36

Not at all sweet. I'm struggling to resist the urge to grab a cleaver or similar sharp pointy objects and lop off their hands the next time they attempt to wave at me.

whoisasking · 08/10/2009 11:47

driving me MAD.

pop

WIBBLE

Please, please, please go away horrible little waving children.

BAH

TELL THE KIDS TO FUCK OFF

purepurple · 08/10/2009 09:03

I am seriously thinking of logging off mumsnet now because this advert is so fecking annoying.
I have just started to wear specs for reading and all the waving is really giving my eyes a hard time. I feel as if I have motion sickness and this advert doesn't help.
Please remove it.

pixiestix · 07/10/2009 15:49

Totally agree with Beth, they are awful.
Not sweet. Scary.
