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.

There is already a FAQ on the menu at the top of my screen, between my profile and contact us. Surely folk can use this if they want to ask a question. Perhaps paint it orange so it is a bit more obvious๐Ÿ˜‰ At least it scrolls up out of the way and doesn't keep sitting on top of what I want to access.

FA, while your testing that bit of code, can you make sure it does not lock up an iPad 3, as minimising it does at the moment.

SteveL - thanks I've reported that ipad issue to the developers, they are looking into it - and we are still pushing on trying to minimise the intrusion on screen space - we have some new code in test this morning that will hopefully improve matters.

If (and it is still an if) we move forwards with this solution then it will eventually replace all of the FAQ content - you can see some of how it will work if you look on the "Contact Us" page.  This has been a worthwhile exercise regardless as some of the FAQ needed a bit of a spring clean - and thus far this experience has been more like a power wash.

'FinkAngel', I certainly hope 'Ro' can do that for you. We were promised an avatar fix months ago, and still we have a dull grey box smile See if you can knock up a bit of code to a recognise a JPG when it actually is a JPG.

Welcome by the way ๐Ÿ‘

So ,rather than trying to fix the various glitches on the web site ,you are wasting time developing new ones yell

Thanks, FA. I’m sure you can see why I raised the point. No staff banner and no introduction - well, it’s not very professional and you could have been anyone. A few words from Ro and yourself would have made things so much clearer. 

I hope that is ‘if’. The whole thing could have been handled so much better. A few words of explanation and a shed load of common sense would have helped. 

Ah well, welcome to CT.

Ah, we both have the same problem Metheven, the last fix (which was delivered a couple of weeks ago) didn't work, as you can tell.  We are now working with a different set of developers - I'm confident things will start moving a lot quicker around here as of next month (once they are fully onboarded).

Thanks for that info 'FinkAngel', a bit of information from yourselves at times would be appreciated, much better than us thinking we are being ignored.

I missed it on CT but I’ve just had the pleasure of the orange box when I was on the UK sites booking page on my phone. 

I rarely access the clubs website on a pc. I don’t have an iPad. 99% of the time I’m on my iPhone. The mobile site on an iPhone is a demonstration of how not to build a site. From the sideways scrolling to the new orange box the website is about as difficult to negotiate as any I’ve come across. It’s only beaten to the user unfriendly crown by some local newspapers who use the weirdest architecture I can imagine. 

So I’m off to the app in future as so far that works as you’d expect.
