AIBU to be annoyed with mumsnet

For having this bloody popup constantly!

If I want to like it on Facebook I will. I don't need it shoved down my throat!

I'm not a fan of Facebook anyway but that's not the point I don't like any site doing this, it's the same as all those sites that have a survey popup 2 seconds after you have clicked on the page!

Just leave me alone to navigate the pages of your website and if I choose to do something then I will

Stop thrusting things at me! Grrrr

Oh that looks annoying!

Switching to MN Desktop Classic and opting out of FB helps

ElephantsNeverForgive · 17/09/2014 23:03

You don't get it on the mobile site.

I don't have Facebook, sites constantly nagging you to like them or apps offering in game coins for doing so annoy me a lot.

I hate that bloody blue Samsung advert that keeps blocking the thread I am trying to read. Fucking hate that.

QuintessentiallyQS · 17/09/2014 23:07

OH my word, am I VERY late to this discovery? Bike Tardis

HamstersAndHockeySticks · 17/09/2014 23:08

I only get that popup when I visit the mumsnet classics board. Always on there and never anywhere else.

BackforGood · 17/09/2014 23:11

Feeling a bit deprived now - I've never had that pop up!

  • although I do get very annoyed with the stuff that 'drops down' from the blue bar at the top everytime your mouse accidentally drifts across it

I'm on a PC and I've never got it.

SpringItOn · 17/09/2014 23:22

And what does that mean? That ad in your screen grab
'Keep caps from kids'?
Caps? Flat caps? Baseball caps?

Caps of what?

ScrambledeggLDCcakeBOAK · 17/09/2014 23:23

I'm back to desktop site (from my iPad) whoa that was an awful ride I'm so glad to be home guys.

Now how get rid of this bloody Facebook popup? Hmmm

This! Definitely! So glad it's not just me.

WorraLiberty · 17/09/2014 23:58

I hate that too, when I accidentally rest the mouse on the bar Angry

WorraLiberty · 18/09/2014 00:02

If I rest it on the 'pregnancy' bit, I get that woman drinking a glass of water and pulling a stupid face.

If I rest it on Education, I get a kid with a 1940's combover who has been deliberately made to look like a geek...which I thought in this day and age we were trying to move away from when it comes to kids' learning!

ScrambledeggLDCcakeBOAK · 18/09/2014 00:04

Hmm hamster il check if that's the case as Iv never really been on classics before but have been the last couple of day.

caps are laundry capsules

ILoveTurnips · 18/09/2014 00:19

I don't get those and I use an ipad.

Have you tried blocking pop ups?

Settings >>>> Safari >>>> Block Pop Ups

SpringItOn · 18/09/2014 08:38

The mystery is solved, thank you caroldecker!

Never called em caps or heard of that term though.

ExitPursuedByAKoalaBear · 18/09/2014 08:42

My iPhone has switched to the mobile site and it is shit. Don't use it anymore.
