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

[toastofthetown]

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

It is happening more than once per session for me. Every time I go back to active it pops up. Very annoying, along with the massive adverts that take up the whole screen.

Came on to start my own thread but 76 people have beaten me to it.

Since this pop up appeared on Mumsnet yesterday it has made me stop Mumsnetting and do something else four times, so for me a bit of a win, but I suspect not what you are aiming for. Thought you might like to know.

Me too I'm sick of seeing it!

Me too

Your patch isn't working.
I'm getting it twice on every thread I open - possibly because I open each thread into a different tab, but same browser session.
PLEASE make it so I can dismiss it or it only appears once an hour or ideally - once a day per account log in. It's really annoying. Too large, very bright. It really draws your eye - which is the point - but it's FAR to frequent.

GET RID Of THIS PLEASE!! 😫🙏

It was still appearing after I had posted a question to Bridget.

It’s enraging @MNHQ . I even asked a question to make the pestering stop, but no! Still being harangued as though by a very annoying and persistent double glazing salesman. Please don’t let this be the start of many more such pop ups…sort it out we beg you!

I don't know who Bridget Phillipson is but I can't wait till she has fucked off. Shadow whatever. I don't care.

When is this chat scheduled? I will fuck off till then to avoid the arsehole pop up.

Me too.

I pay a fiver a month to not have this thing happen! Adverts, Pop ups be gone

Agree, bloody annoying.

It appeared once on my iPad when I first opened MN and I've not seen it since. (iPad/safari/desktop).

I feel blessed.

I'm jealous. It seems to be coming up on every bloody page. Definitely more than the twice per session mentioned earlier in the thread.

Hello everyone,

Just to say that we have disabled this and you shouldn't see it going forward. Thanks for all your feedback.

Thank goodness for that. Can you please confirm this isn't going to be a regular feature every time you have a webchat or guest thread?

Thanks.
