Oh no, it popped up again right after I posted. But when I clicked on notifications and then this thread, I didn’t get the pop-up. It was so nice!

Misspacorabanne · 06/07/2023 21:20

Lucky you @MavisMcMinty mine hasn’t!

MavisMcMinty · 06/07/2023 21:24

No, it’s back now, I shouldn’t have said anything. Christ it’s annoying.

MavisMcMinty · 06/07/2023 21:26

You know when you’ve had half a dozen children playing in your garden and they go home and you suddenly notice how blissfully SILENT it is? Those two times I didn’t get the pop-up was just like that.

quite. It makes me not want to use mumsnet, it’s so annoying!

AngryBirdsNoMore · 06/07/2023 23:15

It comes up on every new page I open - active, when I go into a topic, when I change pages on that topic… it’s making the site hard to use.

I use safari on an iPhone 13.

AngryBirdsNoMore · 06/07/2023 23:16

Just popped up again as the page refreshed when I posted!

Throwingpots · 06/07/2023 23:24

Came back to see if fixed, nope. I’m off again, have a good book to read with no pop ups

LongStoryLong · 07/07/2023 00:30

So annoying. Every time I click on anything. Safari on iPhone. Please fix it!

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 07/07/2023 01:33

It’s terrible. Not getting it on iPhone using Safari, but Mumsnet is unusable on iPad using Safari.

poptypingchef · 07/07/2023 05:28

I’m on safari on an iphone

i tend to find it’s mainly when I click into a new thread and then on every page as I click through posters responses.

AnIntrovert · 07/07/2023 07:18

Just " once per session" ?
I wish !
Every single click. New topic, here it comes. Open discussion, again.

Came on MN stuff to look at it. Here it is. Open the discussion about it, it comes up, the irony!!!

AnIntrovert · 07/07/2023 07:20

Just to add. Click on "Post" and guess what, it comes up again!! So three times in 60 seconds.
Make it go away!!!!!!

Whinge · 07/07/2023 07:24

It's been over a week now and still no fix. I don't understand why they can't just turn it off?

Scrumptiousspongecake · 07/07/2023 07:28

safari on an iPhone and it a popping up every time I click on next page of a thread or a different topic. It’s awful I’m not on an incognito browser

Scrumptiousspongecake · 07/07/2023 07:28

20 times in as many minutes!

BTcomplaint · 07/07/2023 07:48

Also safari on iPhone and appearing on every thread or new page of a thread, have to close it each time. Making the site totally unusable today.

KatherineSiena · 07/07/2023 07:52

This is still happening every time I click on a new page. It is incredibly off putting. Safari on iPad.

Karwomannghia · 07/07/2023 07:55

Every click, link, back this pops up. I clicked on my feed to see if that would satisfy it but no. So irritating. iPhone 14 on safari.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 07/07/2023 08:54

Fuck me, make it stop

safari on iPhone

site is unusable ffs

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 07/07/2023 08:55

You know I’m NEVER gonna use this feed whatsit right?

I'm not sure many are actually using it.

Perhaps that's why MNHQ aren't fixing the problem? They want to keep pushing the feature so they're not removing the pop up box.

Xmasfairy86 · 07/07/2023 09:12

Well this is reassuring to read

it is beyond annoying!! Every click and bam there it is

iPhone and safari here.

gluenotsoup · 07/07/2023 09:23

Same here! It’s making the site unusable. Every click, page, everywhere. 😬
I phone, chrome. Not incognito, not cleared cookies, tried “getting started” as it’s nagging me to do, nothing gets rid of it, and I don’t want to use it anyway.

12roundsofwhitelowfatspread · 07/07/2023 09:32

Joining the collective wail… it pops up every time I go to the next page in a thread, change thread, or go to topics list, or post on a thread. Basically unless I remain completely immobile, or shut the site, that Feed advert is there like an insatiable toddler who knows I’ve got chocolate buttons somewhere if they just ask me enough times.

I tried looking at the effing feed in case that made it go away. Reader, it did not. And I had zero interest in any of the things in the feed so will not ever want to use it again anyway.
