I have to ask... how many times do I have to click on "I Agree" when visiting the Wiki???

This is getting old real fast.

[Gargamel]

Doing it to me too.

I don't login, nor do I think I have an account, to the wiki.  I'd guess if I'd login, it'd would only ask the one time. 

But it should be handle by cookies, not a login.

Or even just a simple paragraph at the top of the main page stating the use of the site constitutes blah blah blah... as is seen in so many other places.

[MechBFP]

Ya that pop up on the wiki every single time I visit the page is absolute garbage.

[Snark]

Moving to Kerbal Network, since this is about the wiki rather than KSP itself.

FWIW, I only get the popup once per machine.  I assume it's looking for a cookie so it knows whether it's happened before.  For those of you who are getting it every single time... by any chance do you have cookies turned off, and/or are accessing it in private browser mode?

[Gargamel]

Nope, cookies and normal browsing mode.    It does it every time I open a new wiki tab, even if another is already open. 

[LordFerret]

For me, it appears to do it once a session, where if I close the browser and then come back later I get hit again.

@Gargamel, our browser settings might differ a little, but yea.

[James Kerman]

Just testing and it seems to matter where you "land" on the site.  If I click on a page I have already been to since I've accepted the popup it's ok but if I go to a part of the site I haven't visited since the new terms and conditions, I get the popup again.

Why should I hold cookies ? Are there not better ways around ?

You have 2 options: They track who you are in some way so they know if you've okayed the box or not, or they ask you every time. If you deny them the ability to do the first (by logging in or allowing cookies), they'll do the 2nd.

Note I'm leaving off the 3rd option of "just don't bug us with the popup at all" because someone thought it was a good enough idea to do in the first place, I doubt they'll be changing that any time soon.

... or get a less intrusive banner like the ones on Wikipedia.

It's setting a cookie, if you don't have them persist across sessions it will ask again.
Use the element picker in your adblocker of choice (Ublock origin here) to block the "I agree" popup and the overlay that stops you interacting with the site. Problem permanently solved.

Yes, done, did that... it's just annoying that one has to. Also, imagine those with no idea how to manage that, the frustration. It would be nice if the powers that be consider that and do something about it.

[FleshJeb]

Having the same problem. Also, I recently tried making an account, (so I could correct a really one of the Mun landing tutorials that isn't following Best Practices), and it won't complete the process. The Captcha is garbage, by the way.

[UmbralRaptor]

Apparently the popup breaks signing up for a new account (I just got an email from a user who wanted to contribute, but was stopped by that.) 

[klesh]

I get this all the time as well.  Super annoying.  Is it something @ManeTI can fix?

[ManeTI]

Hi guys, I have reported this issue, lets see what can be done.

[klesh]

Thanks buddy!

 

Why did no one tag him 2 weeks ago?

[ManeTI]

Hi guys, it seems like its fixed, probably you will have to accept it one more time and that's it, please let me know if it is still happening.

[klesh]

Now thats what I call service.  Thanks ManeTI!
