I'm liking all the drop downs...

mummylin2495 · 21/04/2011 00:21

Yes it's very annoying, I feel like it's following me!

LisMcA · 21/04/2011 00:52

Can anyone tell me where the cross is pleeeeeeeeeeease? I can't see it and might cry very soon!

MmeSurvivedLent · 21/04/2011 00:55

I like it.

I would like to exchange the Log Out for Threads I'm On and Active Convos.

If the drop down box could be customisable then we could all put our favourite topic in there.

ZillahWhoDrankTooMuchGin · 21/04/2011 00:55

Tiny little white x in a black circle to the right bottom of the new blue bar....click it and the bar disappears...

MilkNoSugarPlease · 21/04/2011 00:56

it's TINY, in the top right hand corner of the bar

I've clicked it, but mine's coming back every few pages!

Why do we need it?! Why do we have it?!

Oi, HQ, Ever heard of "if it ain't broke, Don't fix it!?"

ColdHeartedBitch · 21/04/2011 00:57

I cant see it either LisMcA. I think this might be mnhq's way of telling us we should be doing other things then mn atm. Hmm

It is apparantly on the right hand side of the bar.

"I would like to exchange the Log Out for Threads I'm On and Active Convos."

MmeLlindt - Does everyone press these two first and only then? I do and I must admit i don't even have the MN homepage as my short cut - i come straight into talk...

MmeSurvivedLent · 21/04/2011 01:01

Zilla
I have a shortcut to Threads I'm On on my toolbar so whizz up there to get to top of page. Then click on Active Convos. I never go to front page of MN, always come straight to talk as well.

Ryoko · 21/04/2011 01:03

I'm more bothered about the script that keeps not finishing loading I keep getting pop ups about and the fact when I click on "more" next to the topic lisys it just reloads the whole bloody page again.

plus the whole thing looks like Natwests banking website.

Mumsnet you have messed up.

LisMcA · 21/04/2011 01:17

Nope, nothing there, I even brought my netbook up to my nose in case it was really tiny.

I'm using Firefox, could that be why? I'm not a techy, but usually can fudge my way through something!

JJ · 21/04/2011 10:37

If you're using Firefox, you can install Stylish:
go to Stylish add on page and click "Add to Firefox"

There will be a "S" in the bottom right corner of your browser window.

Click it, then "Manage styles" then "Write new style" and, after putting in whatever you want to name it, put this in the larger text box at the bottom:

@-moz-document domain('www.mumsnet.com'){
#viewportbarcontainer {display: none !important;}
}

Writing it down, it sounds more complicated than it is. My file is a lot larger, I just add to it as and when something annoys me.

steamedtreaclesponge · 21/04/2011 10:41

I agree. Most irritating.

bubblecoral · 21/04/2011 11:14

It's annoying. They need to get rid.

ConstantVigilance · 21/04/2011 11:43

It's horrible and driving me mad! Angry

YANBU

BeautifulBlondePineapple · 21/04/2011 11:44

I'll add my disgruntlement to the fray. Lose the bar! Please!

The way the Facebook / Twitter / Print icons dangle down is driving me mad, and even though you can close it, it open agains when you go into a different thread.

Grrrrrrrrrr.

Abcinthia · 21/04/2011 11:51

I don't have the bar with facebook/twitter/search etc any more. I clicked the x next to it and it hasn't re-appeared yet.

albania · 21/04/2011 11:53

Please please get rid of it

Ephiny · 21/04/2011 11:53

Yes it's annoying, especially as it flickers when I scroll up/down, it's giving me a headache. I don't even see any x to make it disappear...

Abcinthia · 21/04/2011 11:55

The x I clicked was on the right hand corner next to it. Very small and a greyish colour.

My bar just reappeared in another thread but then on others it doesn't appear at all. Very confusing.

AnnieLobePassoverSeder · 21/04/2011 11:57

It is horrible and I hate it! Particularly the 'tail' of FB, Twitter etc buttons that hangs down. I was very pleased to find the X to get rid of it but it keeps coming back.

I am set up at MN Classic! So I want my Classic back, please, without the annoying bar!
