Any idea how to permanently get rid of this irritating orange pop up box (have a question) on the bottom left of my screen.  Seems to have started this morning.

    I was going to ask exactly the same question on my iPad.  I tried typing how do I remove this intrusive and irritating pop up from my system.  But it didn’t have that question on its list.  

    Another Caravan Club Ltd t/a Caravan and Motorhome Club IT triumph I suspect.

    What a good idea 👍 has many links and all in one place. Very good addition, but perhaps tone the colour down to a similar green smile

    Its irritating, pointless, you can't get rid of it,  it blocks part of the page, gets in the way and is of no value. Apart from that......

    Yes it is very annoying and I want it off, clicking on the cross doesn't even remove it!

    Using the Close x makes it small for that moment. 

    It could be useful if a quick answer is required though not having used it I don't know how quick a response would be as there are no dates/times showing.

    It's mad, you can't even get rid of it and it blocks the screen!

    Who thought that was a good idea....?

    Guess what. I do admin work on OH's forum and we use a test forum to try things out. 'taint 'rocket science' to avoid annoying users with good (?) ideas that don't work!

    It has the potential to be a good idea but the colour is wrong and very distracting. I feel it would be better placed on a tab at the head of the page, along with all the other info links, where it wouldn’t constantly reflect through my navigation bar. 

    I expect the idea is to give people easy access to the answers  to questions we we asked again and again on the forum. The concept is good but the execution isn’t quite right yet.

    For anyone using Windows and on a desktop:

    I am using AdBlock, and adding the following in the 'Block Element' (it's inserted automatically by Adblock) stops the floating widget from appearing.

    Horrible. If you hit the cross it makes it smaller for millisecond 😤😤. I do hope this isn't going to be permanent. At a least the green question only appeared when personed, not often 😉. But why this dreadful colour?

    Wasn't there at 8:30. Now I can't get rid of it. I assume they just switched it on. Very annoying.

    The only relevant questions are 1, whose stupid idea was it & 2, how do you get rid of it😠

    Typical of the CMC IT dept.  They do absolutely nothing about their on- going many web problems, but decide to insert a stupid annoying pop-up instead.

    It might have a place on other sections of the Club's website but it is completely out of place here. Let's hope they can get rid of it, at least from the forum!

    So far all it seems to do is lock up my iPad or throw me out of CT. 

    If it linked to an operative I could see the point but it is just linked to a FAQ database. It is not needed on CT. Hopefully it will be rapidly removed.
