Annoying popup!

Is anyone else getting an annoying popup on the bottom right of their screen?

It's from Hotjar asking if I'm providing childcare for my grandchildren at the moment.

It's really beginning to irritate me!!

Here's the popup

Yes I had it. Assumed it was from GNHQ But deleted if quickly so not sure.

Also had it but was doubtful about it so deleted.

Marydoll Wed 10-Jun-20 17:21:26

I have had it too. Just deleted it, as it was unsolicited!

Puzzler61 Wed 10-Jun-20 17:23:34

Me too, deleted also.

I also deleted it.

Very annoying! But couldn't see how to delete it? (On iPad)

Hi all,

Just to confirm, this is a pop-up from GNHQ. It's a very quick poll we're running to see how coronavirus has affected your childcare commitments with grandchildren. If you don't wish to participate, you can minimise the pop-up. smile

We hope this clears things up for you.

Thanks Natasha!

I was just going to start a thread about it, so thank you Squiffy

It is large, it is annoying, it covers up what is trending.
It pops up every time any thread mentions the word grandchildren.
And it is impossible to delete it or minimise it on this device.

Why did you not start a thread as you would normally do, Natasha?

Same as you Callistemon, I can't minimise or delete it on my iPad. It's very intrusive!

Was about to start a thread on the pop up. It is so intrusive as it covers an area of the screen. Can’t see how to reduce it or delete it, it is really annoying!

I managed to drag it down to the bottom of the page, nearly out of sight but not quite.

I completed the few questions and that got rid of it! smile

I completed it, too, Shysal, thinking that would make it go away. Wrong! Still keeps popping up randomly. Trivial I know, but so irritating! ??
