    As in.. Banks, Building Socities, Insurance companies, Energy Suppliers etc.etc. who all chase new customers and mostly ignore existing ones.

    Like you, ttda, I was trying to navigate the CL area yesterday and gave up. Poor CL owners have really had it bad since this super-duper new website was launched, haven't they?

    Yes it is on the forum Jill.  As Bakers2 says, it is now green and not blue.  It is in the bottom left hand corner.yell

    Not on mine 'millie', it went yesterday and the forum is clear of it with only the main website pages having the green question box, which previously was orange.

    They also seem to have stopped it locking up my iPad, when you minimise. Although you still have to minimise again every time you go to a new page, as it comes back normal size. ☹️

    A don't show me this again option would be nice.😀

    Don't encourage them. The last thing we want is a talking pop-up.

    Perhaps they could link it to Siri, then you could talk to it.😂

    Edit

    other talk to interfaces are available.

    It was causing my iPad problems this morning up to about 11.30 so I rang the web team who said they had just switched it off.   It has gone back into trials and QA so let’s hope it stays there!

    We have reverted to mainly phone chats regarding CLs. OK sometimes you don't get through first time, but when you do it's so much easier and nicer. We have booked a lovely cottage as a result of talking to CL owners direct, and saved all the booking fees which are payable via the website! That's my membership fees saved for the next six years!

    As said Nellie. I am on a PC and using adblok plus extension on my browser. I take it that you are on a phone or tablet? Not the same. 

    With the adblocker on it blocks ads. But if you click on the adbloker icon you can select other items on a page that you want to block. I have used it in the past to block irritating flashing avatars on some forums. smile

    So, mine turned a lovely green colour (to match the rest of the website) and it's blended in so well - it's now gone completely!

    Sanity is restored

    It was nice here without the stupid thing this morning!

    Just switch it off, forgot about the blooming thing & try sorting out the real problems with the site and app.

    No, of course you won't, that would be something useful for the membership, not something to annoy us!

    Just gone onto my phone internet, I keep the latest discussions page open as a tab, as I do on my tablet. Up pops a FULL width red, not same as orange yesterday but still new club colours 

    "Save 50% off midweek pitch fees this summer on selected sites

    See offer details"does it go away? No! Not appearing on my tablet yet 😉, give it time!

    Why why why can't I close or minimise it? Actually alerting me to the offer could be useful.

    Irritating green bix now turned into large green circle with white ?. A bit less intrusive,but still brings up the 'original green box with those prefilled questions. As I was checking out a CL page following a newly posted review.

    Out of interest I tried several questions of it yesterday evening, all nice questions about the site, every time "no results". I expect that boosted the user stats as they're unlikely to be clever enough to establish actual results or satisfaction of user 😉

    Edit I returned to the CL webpage, within the Club, and got the full Monty so had to minimise 😤😭

    The latest offering was even worse! Green circle with question mark. and I was about to block it when I thought 'what comes up if I click on it?'. What comes up is a large box with too much text and a place to type your question. This links in to FAQ (what is the point?)

    Among the instructions was the advice to click on the button on top right of the box to shrink it down. Button, what damned button..... there wasn't one!! Blocked now.

    Are the IT staff not able to have a duplicate copy of the website system to play in? 

    On the forum that OH 'runs' it is me that has made any alterations to layouts, colours, contrast, white space, text sizes etc. I pay special consideration for those amongst us with eyesight problems. I do that on a cut down version of the main site so as not to annoy decent folk whilst trying out new ideas. Would that such was the case her.

    On my iPad the circle is OK. I'd rather not have it, but it's better than the previous version. At least it now stays small unless you touch it and remains the same when you change screens. They also seem to have removed it from recent activity.

    However, on the phone it is another matter. It is still the same size as on the much larger pad and together with the online chat button, much too obtrusive.

    If the club sorted out the search facility so that it worked properly then a lot of the other stuff would fall into place.

    A little while since I entered a search entitled ‘my bookings’, result was 800 items that had absolutely no relevance to the question.

    Not seen any sight of it tonight. Perhaps HO have had enough of all the complaints and have just ditched the whole idea.... hopefully for ever....and given the idiot who thought of it a big kick up the proverbial too!!
