TV addicts pop-up

When I click onto a new thread about a TV programme I get a popup demanding that I sign up to some film and TV newsletter which, so far as I can tell, you can't click away - you have to go back to the main list and click again.. It is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Any chance of getting rid?

Came on here to complain about this - MNHQ promised it would be sorted soon, but it's still happening today.. but I guess it's a Bank holiday.

You can't click off it, but you don't have to subscribe to make it go away - I just clicked the back button on my browser, and then refreshed the page.

But, it's too annoying and I'm not going to use MN for a while because I can't stand crap like this.

X post with ceto Smile

Yes I got the pop up when I posted on the Telly addicts thread. Won't be bothering again.

Ffs. Something else annoying as fuck. Wtaf is going on with mumsnet these days. There seems to be a glich or cn issue at least once a month. Please sort this shit up.
Im guessing we all have to wait until after the bank holiday??

Looks like it, Lorra. You would think it was a quick job just to disable the pop-up but nobody's home. Will be interesting to see how quickly this is resolved tomorrow. I'm guessing the deadline for implementing it was to satisfy the advertisers, who may be less than impressed that it's pushing traffic away.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 17/04/2017 12:57

Still happening. Sigh.

Gallavich · 17/04/2017 12:58

Still doing it. So annoying. Can't you just disable the pop up? Seriously.

tribpot · 17/04/2017 13:00

Looks like MN don't have any tech support over the weekends.

Yup, still there!

I can't post on "telly addicts" -or click on any threads to read anything>

I don't want to subscribe!!

insancerre · 17/04/2017 16:34

I used the back button instead of subscribing and it goes away

MrsJamin · 17/04/2017 17:23

Seems very odd to release a "marketing feature" just before a long bank holiday weekend and it totally glitches on all of us. Not cool MN. On Android /Chrome if that helps.

callmeadoctor · 17/04/2017 17:23

Please unsubscribe me (I was on a laptop, wouldn't go away, very annoying)

callmeadoctor · 17/04/2017 17:24

Macbook if it helps, had to subscribe to carry on, so please unsubscribe me asap. Thanks x

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 17/04/2017 17:34

I'm still getting it too. I won't be posting on any TV or film threads until it's sorted. This was my approach:

You can't click off it, but you don't have to subscribe to make it go away - I just clicked the back button on my browser, and then refreshed the page.

diddl · 17/04/2017 17:56

I just went to TA via TIA & it wasn't there!

Lweji · 17/04/2017 20:54

Why is that bloody thing still there???!!! SAD!

Glossolalia · 17/04/2017 22:15

Please make it go away!

AlternativeTentacle · 17/04/2017 22:20

FFS.

LornaMumsnet · 18/04/2017 10:31

Sorry, all!

We're doing our best to sort this out ASAP.

LornaMumsnet · 18/04/2017 12:45

Hi, all!

Is anyone still having issues with this?

Ceto · 18/04/2017 12:48

Seemed OK just now. Fingers crossed ...

Ceto · 18/04/2017 12:49

And many thanks for sorting it.

Could notes be taken about not springing this sort of thing on us during Bank Holiday weekends in future?

I just opened two threads on TV addicts and wasn't presented with the popup at all. I wouldn't declare it fixed until you know people are seeing the popup and been able to close it successfully and that registers that they don't need to see it again. But I am happy for now.

peukpokicuzo · 18/04/2017 12:53

Ps. YYYYYY to Ceto's of 12:49

ReggaeShark · 18/04/2017 13:02

Seems ok now.
