I was marking the bug report forum as read and got a slightly "broken" pop up which has happened often on DU4 -



I assume that may be my browser/connection however I thought I would ask about it, but then while I was doing the screen shot and uploading, it seemed to fix itself. I am not sure what I did next, maybe hit cancel and then tried again to mark the forum and it gave me the option to disable the prompt! is this new?




I tried it again in here, and it took 2 tries and cancels and gave the option on the third try.

1. That is a browser thing

I don't think there's anything we can do at our end to break the way the popup looks when it's displayed.

If you check that box it might disable all popups on DU, which might then prevent you from being able to do anything on DU that requires a confirmation, like mark a forum or log out. If you find that's the case, I believe you can reset the notification by clicking the padlock icon just to the left of your browser's address bar.

FWIW I don't have a firm opinion on whether we should require a confirmation to mark -- if people consider it to be an annoying extra step, we can get rid of it.

2. I like the confirmation for PMs as I have accidentally deleted mails before.

it is only just slightly annoying for marking forums read. and you sort of answered my next question...what happens to popups outside of the place I might want to click that? that is exactly why I didn't try it. I think I will just not worry about it. have a great rest of the day and thanks for this site and all you do!
