I like the new look but the facebook and twitter buttons are scrolling down the screen and it's driving me mad!

[DamnItJanet]

Everytime I scroll down the buttons follow me .
Tis very off putting.

I keep closing them and they come back. I don't want them and I don't do Facebook or Twitter.

please make them go. I have a small net book and it takes up too much space. Please have an optional turn off.

There's a little x to the right of them so can you close the menu down.

But it only works on that one page, then they come back.
It is slowly my computer down and making it howl in pain like it does when big graphicky things open up.
It's driving me mad, the dangly penis thing I can cope with, but not how it'sslowed everything down.

I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!!

Please MNHQ, ask tech very nicely to give us the option to turn it off, not just close it using the little x.

I'm with Sunshinenow as I too use a netbook. I wonder how iPhone users are finding it?

That's weird. I used the little x and it hasn't come back.

Agreed, if we could click it and get rid of it once and for all that would be great.
My laptop is crap slow anyway but now....

Bucharest, you have made me laugh! Only on MN could it be referred to as a dangly penis!

Erm, MNHQ, can't you just have the facebook/twitter/etc. icons running horizontally instead so that they fall within the blue tool bar instad of HANGING HALFWAY DOWN MY BLOODY SCREEN. Thanks ;)

I can't even see a little x. It's not set up for the screen resolutions for netbook.

agghhhhhh.

I am on Chrome by the way. Can't see the close x.

I haven't got that...am I missing out?

I can't scroll to the right (the rest of the screen scrolls fine) so I can't get to the right of the blue toolbar to get to the X to close the bloody thing!

Also with my netbook the screen cuts off about 1/2 inch of text on the right which is really annoying, but I don't know if that's Mumsnet's poor design or my machine?

Oooh, they've put the penis horizontal!

I'm sure there's a penis erection joke in there somewhere.

MN, you need "display:inline" on your viewport menu's li's!! :)

Lol! maybe that's why I wasn't having penis trouble! it was already horizontal when I came on to MN today

It is driving me fucking mad tech. Sort it out....please....

It's annoying me too and I've only been on for 5 minutes.

I don't want facebook and twitter things popping up without my permission thank you very much.

at me ol' mucker Bucharest

at Mouseface. I knew you'd sniff out a dangly penis on a thread.....
(at least we can see this one)

If you close your browser, reopen it and then turn the floating bar off it should stay off.
They are going to have it as a customisable option in a few days - see the 'blink of an eye' thread in Site stuff

Ahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa Bucharest - you know me so well

Thanks Rusty, will go peek at the tread and try to ignore dangly cocks

Sending me mad too!

Mine keeps coming back - very annoying.

Have you closed your browser and reopened it? Although someone on the other thread is having ongoing problems with it as well, might be an idea to let Techs know which version of MN and which internet explorer you are using so they can see if there is a common element (and possibly which hardware!)

Was VERY happy when they allowed me to get rid of the dangly floaty thing, it was very fucking annoying.
