I know what you mean! I have been going nutty with it for a while now. Just when I think it's not going to pop up..there it is. It's usually when I have a good response or discussion thought too.

I hold it if you whack it

Actually, I don't have problems with Cafe Mom, I have problems with Geocities! It is so annoying when it pops up when I'm using my phone--I don't always hit the right thing, and end up losing my thoughts! And then I just don't even bother trying to type a new response! Annoying to say the least...

hi scorpiobabes Geo Cities is part of Cafe mom from what I see. I have had that pop up too which is odd as I have Firefox

covered all popups but not this one I guess.First I had to contend with Cafe mom then just as I thought I was getting back to mylot I got a bad page blah blah and tried the back button as so many here suggested. well news to them you do not retrieve your response when you hit back what you get is the blasted chance to retype your response allover again with that nice white box waiting your clenched fists. lol lol.

The pop-ups pretty much only show up when I'm using the phone--and I can't copy my response! Grrrrrrr! Guess I'll have to deal with them....sigh...

hi scorpiobabes wow that really sucks and you cannot copy while on the phone. thats a real bummer. A t least I can copy and thus if she pops up again and if I lose my 'response I will just paste it in the right box and go on my way.

You could try to use an add blocker. That might help. I do not have it because they are blocked off. But I would get mad if that popped up especially when I am either writing or responding. Sometimes my mind does not think and I need all the help I can get especially when trying to start a new discussion.

I use Safari and Chrome. I do have a blocker there. The only thing I do not like about Firefox is it is too slow - I sort of love the add ons too much.

HI there Hatley, Well, I do find it somewhat annoying but it's not real bad on my computer. I have high-speed so that's probably the difference. It only takes a second or two for me to get beyond it usually. If my computer were any slower though, I'm sure it would really annoy me.

Hmm...sounds as if it must have been. I was kind of busy during the day and then worked until really late so maybe I was just lucky enough to have missed it. Have things improved since then?

Another frustrating page, which I don't if anyone else gets, is it, "Bed Request" page..

I got that after I hit submit in HWG's box...

Anyway, yes it bothers me, but not only because it interrupts my mylotting when I barely have time here as it is, but my sister signed up for it. She thought it was the best thing to ever happen to her, and since I am the rebellious little sister, I don't want anything to do with it..

LOL

hi carm after having lost 3 responses because Cafe Mom disrupted things then I got the bad request and zip went another response so I figure I need to copy all responses and comments too for awhile.Oh the last few days I have got that Bad request thing several times. and this morning here in Garden Grove Ca when I tried to get into mylot I could not get in for over an hour. I guess they

must have been down for maintenance or something like that. So your sister likes that Cafe Mom not me not after all the slow down and loss shes cost.I would love to punch her virtual face in. lol lol lol.

I try to remember to copy, but when I am in a hurry I can't even spell, let alone remember to save..

But good thing you are starting into that habit and I will remember to save this before hitting that submit button...

Cafe Mom is a P I T A (pain in the a**). I too get it popping up as I go to post a response or read what someone has written. It is like mylot's way of something that I have been on too long or something. :)

I'd like to second that! Yes it is quite annoying, I know it helps us all earn becuse it helps with revenue for this site, but it's a bit annoying. Though I suppose that it's helpful for those mothers on here who might have a page popup to help them save money on diapers, or a good lunch for the kids or something, but still, it's like ahhh I'd like to just respond! Maybe if it was like say every five discussions, it'd be more tolerable.

Hey Hatley, now that you have declared that all you can do is grin and bear it, then why not take it as a regular part of mylot. You are an experienced campaigner here..try this. When the next time Cafe Mom pops out don't act like you are annoyed at all instead show that you like it and kind of have a special bonding with it. This will help the irritation ease off a bit..thats all I can say..:) Hope it helps.

I don’t get Café Mom here so I am fortunate but I appreciate how you fell Hatley because I’ve had the same feelings on other sites! I am not sure an axe would be beneficial if you value your computer! It is so annoying to have those silly pop ups interfere with what you are doing. I may not have the solution but I sympathise that’s for sure. Now Hatley, step away from the axe...Step away from the axe...lol!
