Annoying pop up ‘Put a question to Bridget Phillipson…’

This is appearing on every page I open with no option to close it. It does seem to disappear after a while (feels like ages), but it’s very annoying. Especially as it doesn’t load instantly, and I’ve gone to click on something else but it appears as I click. I don’t want to ask a question.
iPhone, iOS 16.6.1, Safari

Me too.

coxesorangepippin · 27/09/2023 14:09

Yup.

Absolutely ridiculous.

EdmontinaDonsAutumnalHues · 27/09/2023 14:11

It is rather annoying! And I’m afraid to click to chase it away, in case I land myself in a discussion I don’t want to be part of.

Fistralstorm · 27/09/2023 14:11

Agreed. Pita

K1nga23 · 27/09/2023 14:13

yes this is so annoying

vodkaredbullgirl · 27/09/2023 14:14

Please make it stop 😡

CoughingMajoress · 27/09/2023 14:17

Yes, MNHQ PLEASE get rid of this very intrusive popup!!

I'm visually impaired so I have to have my screen size increased, and the pop up covers at least a third of the screen with no option to remove it.

I can't read the bottom third of posts since the popup is covering content.

TheMurderousGoose · 27/09/2023 14:17

most annoying.

I don't want to put a question to Bridge.

saraclara · 27/09/2023 14:19

Same! I have no clicked on it in case I end up in the discussion by accident

EVHead · 27/09/2023 14:20

Driving me crazy! Please get rid of it!

kateclarke · 27/09/2023 14:22

Same here please get rid.

TheMurderousGoose · 27/09/2023 14:22

I clicked on it thinking if you clicked on it once that might satisfy it. But no...

JustKen · 27/09/2023 14:22

I'm using Google Chrome. It's bloody annoying.

Boomboom22 · 27/09/2023 14:23

Agree

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 27/09/2023 14:23

Same problem here 🙄

Orchidflower1 · 27/09/2023 14:23

Total pita - if you click it takes you to a thread about joining. I’m hoping now ivd clicked it doesn’t come back.

Lougle · 27/09/2023 14:24

Chrome on Android here- it's horrible.

Orchidflower1 · 27/09/2023 14:24

Update - bloody think still pops up!!!

Scampuss · 27/09/2023 14:24

It is bloody annoying.

Just when you think your screen is free of it, in it slides.

Is it really necessary to have it appear every new page/screen?

Doesn't work tried it, nor does hiding it.

This will sound stupid, but I feel tense every page I load waiting for the thing to appear. I also tried clicking it to make it go away and no luck.

Yup
P.s. and the BUPA ad is FAR too sensitive, I keep finding myself there unintentionally!
