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.

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.

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....

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!

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 irked

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.

I recently updated to Monterey 12.6 and Safari 16.0 and this seems to have fixed the problem for me.

woohoo
Still OK on my MacBook Pro thankfully (and I'm running Adblock Plus)
