'Subscribe' box in tv addicts - cannot close it

35 replies

Hi
Very intrusive! The box pops up and cannot be closed. It is appearing currently tv addicts.

Any chance this could be sorted as it's making reading the forum impossible.

Thanks Smile

Yes, it is intensely irritating isn't it? MN have responded to a previous thread in Site Stuff about it here. The only way I've found to get rid is to agree to subscribe to this bloody newsletter. I will be unsubscribing at the first opportunity.

MyBeloved · 16/04/2017 16:35

Ah thank you tribpot. I shan't be subscribing, but will wait until MNHQ have sorted this out. Yes, it is indeed intensely annoying!

I don't blame you, MyBeloved. It is incredibly poor form to require a sign up like this - MN should be disabling the popup until they can get it to work properly but I would imagine they have no tech support over the weekend.

EmmanuelleMumsnet · 16/04/2017 16:51

We're so sorry about this. We've made tech aware and hope to come back to you with an update soon.

MyBeloved · 16/04/2017 17:02

Thank you Smile

I am close to ditching mumsent after the issue a week or so ago and now this.

SoulAccount · 16/04/2017 18:29

It's driving me MAD!

How can you do this on the day of the last Homeland episode on the series? How can we discuss it as it unfolds? It freezes the bloody page.

And tension is hotting up towards the last Broadchurch tomorrow.

Tech, could we kindly interrupt and request you finish your Lindt bunny later?

I really don't want to subscribe. I have enough in my Inbox and I am

Thegirlinthefireplace · 16/04/2017 18:34

I won't be watching Homeland until tomorrow but I like reading everyone's live comments so agree, bad timing!

FATEdestiny · 16/04/2017 19:24

Just coming to say the same thing. Cross in the corner doesn't function, no means to click off the pop up.

BlackeyedPetitsPois · 16/04/2017 22:04

Same here. Had to click subscribe to close the bloody thing.

wigglesrock · 16/04/2017 22:37

I've just had to come out of the latest Line of Duty thread and open up MN again to be able to do anything on MN. I couldn't close the box and I couldn't leave the page or click on another topic. I'm not subscribing to anything, thanks all the same.

HelenaDove · 16/04/2017 23:16

Its made the site unusable and you have to come out of the site and come back in again.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 17/04/2017 00:44

SinisterBumFacedCat · 17/04/2017 00:49

HeadfirstForHalos · 17/04/2017 00:59

I had the same earlier, refreshing got rid of it for a while.

FeralBeryl · 17/04/2017 01:11

Another one who has very unwillingly subscribed in order to shift the little bastard
Angry

SinisterBumFacedCat · 17/04/2017 01:20

I open up another window buts it annoying. Have to avoid my favourite haunt, Telly Addicts

SinisterBumFacedCat · 17/04/2017 21:05

STill happening

specialsubject · 17/04/2017 22:00

What the hell? I subscribed and it still won't go. Now very.pissed off as I will get loads of junk. Please unsubscribe me and get rid of this nonsense.

Dragonglass · 17/04/2017 22:02

Same problem here. I want to discuss the last Broadchurch.

Glossolalia · 17/04/2017 22:14

It's awful. Not very user friendly and makes the site seem very desperate for sign ups.

MyBeloved · 17/04/2017 23:26

Still happening MNHQ!

MyBeloved · 17/04/2017 23:28
