How do I stop all theses pop ups?

[.:RoomHelper:.]

Hi,

Every time I come to the Forum, I get messages about cookies, events, money etc...


This is really annoying so is there anyway to turn it off?

They aren't pop ups. Pop ups are windows that actually "Pop up" on your screen that would often be some sort of advertisement. What you are talking about are called notices and they are there to inform users like yourself of specific events, important issues and the EU notice about cookies.

If you have cookies enabled and are also logged in on the forum then you can close these notices by clicking the "X" on each one. These would then remain closed and shouldn't appear for you again unless a new notice has been set forum wide.

"Christmas Charity VIP ~" is always there, even if I do click X....I know about the cookie info, but you should make it so when I click X on the cookie info, when I reload it does not come back..

Those notices are diismissible. What browser do you use? Seems to be a problem on your end rather than Habbox.

Keep yourself logged in? :P

Yeah if you're logged out you'll have loads of notifications and messages showing up, so if possible just remained logged in - or ignore them until you log in, because once you log in they shouldn't show up again.

Yeah, I worked this time when I kept log in, sorry for being a pain!

the EU notice about cookies.

What?

[GommeInc]

What?
Basically all websites should have a notice above or somewhere noticeable talking about cookies. Don't ask why we have to, somewhere along the line EU citizens became stupid.

EDIT:

This page (http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/10205-20-examples-of-eu-cookie-law-compliance) has a few examples.

Remind me never to host a website in the EU. I don't even......

Don't even try to think why we have this, no-one really knows :P Germany seems to hate Facebook and that's the only explanation for it. UK and Irish citizens are getting the short end of the stick, seeing as many international websites that primarily use English have had to adapt to the law (why no-one knows, it should be out of their jurisdiction). I think Google had to have a notice up too, and Microsoft but it's one of those notices you delete without really thinking - which shows how unimportant such a law is :P

Well I noticed the cookie message on Habbox.com but I thought that Matt Garner had too much eggnog. I had no idea it's actually a rule websites have to follow. I don't understand because if users don't want cookies they can just disable them in their browser settings.

The cookie law/rule is stupid and should have never been thought of the in the first place.

For once Matt isn't to blame ;) It's just the EU trying to look busy as always. They forget their citizens aren't actually that stupid, but they may as well treat us like we are :P

Technically we're still breaking the law because we still use cookies before that popup even shows up BUT HEY HO!

[Laurrenbbz]

POP THEM DOWN
