Its just buggy old software, which hasn't been been properly updated to move with the times for a decade.

As said and done, its doing remarkably well for its age, as a really fairly small concern to still be running bespoke software.

Getting this again, amusingly click 'yes' it keeps popping up; click 'no' and that's it for quite some time

Makes no difference for me whether clicking agree or disagree.....still pops after every click.

Am posting this from works laptop which is fine, and no problem......and Chrome on that seems to be on same settings as home laptop.

Just to add - this is on a mobile

[Deerfoot]

Happening almost constantly on my work iPhone, my personal Pixel doesn’t suffer from this issue..

Make it stop.... please someone.... make it stop!

You see, you need to be more greatful the site lets you use it. Any other mentality is bonkers and a sign of madness.

Put out of your mind any suggestion that your traffic is what generates the sites revenue, and or it the sole purpose for the site existing, along with any suggestion there are alternative discussion sites and or platforms.

Mahahahaha

Next.

Now on the iPhone and iPad every page every time, is there any was to stop it ?

[trackdemon]

FWIW the only way I found to stop was clearing cookies, which was a bit of a pain as I then had to re-enter passwords etc on all the other sites I use. Not sure if I'd do that or just stop using PH if it happened again....

Bizarrely enough it’s stopped doing it on iPhone

I've been here 6 weeks or so and read others complaining about this and I wondered what the heck they were on about .

And now I have it .

It's like computer Covid .

Happening for me too after every click, on Chrome on Android tablet.

Thanks Ben - I’ll give it a go.

The cynical would wonder if using a provider which triggers ad-blockers is a deliberate ploy to enable more as revenue.

Not that I can completely fault that. Revenue has to come from somewhere!

I switched to Chrome and it's gone away .

Hurrah !

Incredibly (or not, because it’s utter dogst) it’s literally just (re)started doing it in chrome on my iPad. This morning, fine. This evening, broken

I didn’t even have the audacity to open a new browser, it was moving from the page I’d left open this morning to another page in the evening.

In the spirit of stopping being a miserable sod and trying to help, yesterday I did my own troubleshooting. I wanted to get to a point where a (temporary, bound to be) solution had minimal impact to me; a blanket purge of everything, or editing registry settings, or whatever else are the ‘fixes’ in the sticky aren’t good enough.

TLDR, for Chrome on an IPad the least disruptive ‘fix’ to this appears to be this ..



Without going mad and showing you all the logs I took, these are the types of errors I was getting just driving round PH ..



Seems pretty explanatory, right? Something, somewhere, is full. Well, I worked methodically backwards clearing all sorts of things with no actual success until I got to the step in the first screengrab, after which everything is as it should be. Note I only did ‘last 24 hours’, not ‘everything’.

Whether you like it or not, PH remains the only website I go to where this behaviour is exhibited and it’s got (and I’m quoting my dear old Mum on this) fk all to do with anything I’m doing, or my setup. Look at the variety of browsers and OSeseses in the comments.

No, it's definitely every single user who's posted in this thread seeing a one off problem, which has nothing to do with this site at all, despite only ever happening with this site.
