in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

some setting has been changed this morning so that unless I “accept all cookies” there’s a pop up with every thread. Anyone else seeing this? It won’t accept anything less than “all cookies…”

    it’s not a virus. They just haven’t made it accept your answer in a saved spot - and then check on subsequent times to see what you selected. It’s a programming error.

    Yes, i tried accepting it and the very next frame there it was. Seems larger to me also, may be my imagination.

    Yes, I tried rejecting all cookies but the pop up was relentless until I accepted All. I really don't want a bunch of ads regarding dementia or anything related to this. The fine print said it was to be able customize and personalize marketing ads. I don't like it

    I accepted "All" and it's still coming up every time I navigate to new page.

    Glitch I'm sure.

    We have all been posting frequently since the software changed months ago. Haven't the cookies already been on our accounts? I clicked on "accept all cookies" once, but the pop-up continues. Someone is not paying attention! It's disappointing.

    I'm sorry if this an unpopular opinion, but if pop-ups were the worse thing in my life right now, I'll take it! I don't sweat the small stuff anymore; it's all small stuff xo

    Aggravating. Phone or laptop, signed in or not, every new thread I click on.

    still going on. I had to click accept all 4 times just to get to this first post. It’s very annoying.

    I'm seeing it too - I only allow cookies for this site, no third party cookies. "Accept all cookies" is a no go for me.

    Hi everyone, this is a problem. I did flag M1's comment, so hopefully the moderator will send this on to the tech department.

    Deleting internet history and restarting iPhone did not resolve issue. I could find no place on the site to report a tech problem. Can anyone else? I’m going to flag my comment and hope it receives attention from IT.

    it’s been reported in a different place. The moderator responded they were working on it. I don’t understand what’s taking so long. However it’s probably contracted out and work hasn’t been started.

    Thanks to those of you who reported this! Definitely frustrating - I thought it was something with my laptop so glad to know its not just me!
