Annoying "Unwatch/Save/Share" taking up screen on mobile site

Hi, not sure if this is deliberate or not!
I've posted on a thread, now when I revisit it there is a pulldown type thing saying "unwatch/save/share" that stays there when I scroll down the thread, taking up loads of space. It's annoying! It's at the top of the thread but I can't scroll down past it as it moves with me when I scroll.

I'm on Android mobile site.

Thread is https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5017941-should-we-be-educating-young-people-about-the-danger-of-financial-vulnerability?reply=133378167

I keep track of my Threads I'm Watching just fine, and never save or share through the site, so would rather this disappeared!

Can we please have an option to turn this off? It seems to be working as intended for me (only on chat, sticks to top) but it feels irritating like something stuck to the screen. Not a fan of the non moving ad taking up space either. On a phone there is so little space and it feels intrusive to have elements reducing this further.

This has been dragging on over a month now, can you PLEASE get it fixed? I'm also avoiding reading Chat because of it, now.

Seconding @BertieBotts' comment about the ads, too. They're huge and annoying.

I would love it if this bar could go. It's just more space taken up by something I will never use.

Now what's happened to Chat? I go to what should be the usual list of threads and it's a completely different format - what's going on here?

ETA now I see it's in "OP view", which I did not choose, deliberately or by accident - and reverts to that even after being corrected. FFS!!

Exactly why are you just ignoring this mumsnet?

Nearly mid April and we've been complaining about it since the end of February - WHY are you not getting rid of it? Why did you put it up at all? It makes Chat unreadable. Don't you want people using that board?

Catsmere · 15/05/2024 12:04

And again, now it's coming up four months since this was reported, and nothing's been done. How hard is it to get rid of a defective feature that makes reading so difficult, which afaik nobody asked for in the first place?

I've just found this thread as I wanted to ask about the thing. I only get it on a few threads on one laptop, while another is fine. Unfortunately, it's the one I use most which isn't.
I can only see two lines of text, but sometimes out of synch so there's the bottom of the top line and the top of the bottom one. It affects the Dr Who and the CF allotment threads and another one this morning, which is why I came here. I can't use video links on those threads.
