I thought it might be interesting to see how many people like the purple pop-up info boxes.

Done - PITA!

CakeUpWall · 17/03/2015 14:55

Done, this has been really getting on my wick. Thank you SDTG for getting off your metaphorical arse and doing something about it.

ophiotaurus · 17/03/2015 14:55

I just voted no too although good luck on it changing.
I am still waiting for a response on the ads on the mobile site...
Not bitter me....

PomeralLights · 17/03/2015 14:59

It takes up so much of my phone screen! And takes ages to load properly so have to wait to be able to click and get rid of it whilst trying to read the tiny inch of thread it leaves me with rage thanks for organising the survey!

CoffeeToffee · 17/03/2015 15:04

NO!! It's a royal purple PITA!

CallMeAntigone · 17/03/2015 15:08

Done

spamm · 17/03/2015 15:09

It takes up so much space on my ipad or phone, not so much of an issue on my pc. I voted "get rid of it".

tabulahrasa · 17/03/2015 15:11

I'm not bothered since I discovered I can close it...though it took a worrying amount of time for me to notice that I could Blush

AnneEyhtMeyer · 17/03/2015 15:24

It is annoying as hell, but they won't remove it, just like they never got rid of the hugely hugely annoying drop down boxes with awful stereotypical pictures despite everyone hating them.

KateSMumsnet · 17/03/2015 15:34

Hullo everyone,

Nothing like some statistical analysis to brighten up a Tuesday

As JustineMumsnet has explained here, we brought in the sliders (technical term that) as lots of people were upset about missing out on webchat and other exciting things we do. We totally understand that there might be a few teething issues, so we're getting our tech bods to look into how we can make them better. Please do bear with us in the meantime Flowers

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 17/03/2015 15:35

Voted for it to go.

Agree about the drop down boxes too; they should only drop when clicked on.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 17/03/2015 15:37

Could you sticky them in colour at the top of the individual Topics?

incogKNEEto · 17/03/2015 15:38

Done, and it's a no, get rid of them please from me.

bruffin · 17/03/2015 15:39

Voted for it to go, it takes up half the screen on my tablet and then sticks so I cant close it.

ThreeQuartersEmpty · 17/03/2015 15:39

Done. It's really annoying.

Stratter5 · 17/03/2015 15:51

God yes, just put a sticky at the top of Chat. Takes two seconds to check and see, and no bloody annoying purple pop up. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs a slap.

CheeseandGherkins · 17/03/2015 15:55

Voted. I hate them.

KatyMac · 17/03/2015 15:58

Hell no

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 17/03/2015 16:05

The stickies could be in a different colour, or on a coloured background, so they stand out more!
