'Five Hottest Conversations' - no hide/opt-out

[Fredathetortoise]

A box inviting me to sign up to a daily email from @MNHQ chat has started appearing on my Active threads page on botht the desktop and mobile site. There's no hide/opt-out/no thanks option, no little cross to make the box go away.

I've seen it, thanks MN, and I don't want to sign up. Please add an option to get rid of it, like I can get rid of the purple pop-ups at the bottom of the page?

I'd like to make it disappear, too.

I agree with you OP.

Ooh, I’ve just been thinking the same. It should be a one time pop up rather than a huge box which obscures the top third of my phone screen.

Agree!

Ditto Fred. I don't want to sign up either and have called that little box a number of rude names because I can't get rid of it

Yes I’d like it go please.
The pinned posts in active are intrusive enough, I don’t want you to email me with posts that I’ve probably seen already.

Same here. If I MN enough for it to annoy me, I already know which the five hottest conversations are. (And I bet they're 'curated' rather than genuinely most active.)

Please get rid of it

Me too. It's very annoying

Oh god yes. I'm fed up of seeing it.

Please give us an opt out, MNHQ.

It is awful. Please bin it.

It's bloody ugly looking too

I agree totally that it should have a once only opt out version.

Between that email message at the top of the screen, and the deep purple message about almost anything at the bottom of the screen, which also cannot be turned off, it's hardly worth coming here any more.

I'm also getting a huge banner on Active Convos with the logo and lists of boards, that has to be scrolled through before I get to the actual posts!!!

And to add insult to injury, since all this started appearing the site has slowed down so much that 2 out of 3 times it does not load, or it drops out when changing pages.

And yes! I am fed up!

Agreed.

Though to a previous poster, you can opt out of seeing the pinned posts. I never see them.

And what are the purple pop ups at the bottom? I don't see those either.

iPad mini with Safari.

This box, which I have no interest in, takes up so much space that the mobile site page for Active Conversations now only shows 3 threads before you scroll down. The Desktop version shows 1

I want less emails in my life, not more and I certainly don’t want a quarter of my screen given over to an unwanted message that can’t be dismissed.

I was thinking when I saw it 'why are they so intent on getting my email'. Why would anyone want this emailed to them

^^what they said

Hi there all,

Thanks for your feedback on this. Good news for you all, we'll be taking this down for logged in users today.

Ha! I knew there'd be a thread for this. Has been annoying me since it went up - which can't have been very long but still enough for me to seek out a thread on it. Glad it's going.

Thankyou @AnyaMumsnet
