Various site problems.

[Good CO]

I only have one extension, that's AdBlock. With that now disabled the problem persists.

I would say:

Disable ad block
Clear cookies
Enable ad block if you must

Try again

what a pain. The ridiculous thing is that the dialog is so complex that it's basically unusable. Unfortunately getting this working is something of a life-or-death matter for the site, so I do appreciate the input

I would say:

Disable ad block
Clear cookies
Enable ad block if you must

Try again

I had already done all that before the previous post

I'm on a mobile phone.
Cleared browsing history and cookies. Logged back into the site, it popped up once after I had logged on but the site is now running as normal.

Disable ad block
Clear cookies
Enable ad block if you must

Try again

On Safari Version 12.1.2 (12607.3.10) clearing ALL cookies worked.

Before that it didn't matter what consent options were chosen and submitted, the consent form popped up on every topic clicked on.

Same here. Worked fine yesterday.

Works fine in Chrome on my dogand.

can you send me a link to the adblocker in the chrome store. I'll try it out.

On Chrome based browsers you can view and change browser settings on a per site basis. To the left of the the URL field there is a padlock (for sites that use https). Clicking on this will bring up a pop up box, with certificate, cookies and settings. In this case certificate valid, cookies 9, settings. If you click on Site settings, this will bring up a new page, where you can view and change settings.

What you need to change will depend on what defaults your browser has implemented and what plug ins you have. These can be disabled per site. Extensions, manage extensions. Various versions will have a different layout but hopefully this gives some idea.

Cookie persistence may be an issue, hence the question from @Good CO about Incognito mode.

AdBlock — best ad blocker

Block ads and pop-ups on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and your favorite websites.

chrome.google.com

The site works fine for me in Firefox, but is unusable due to this bollocks in Chrome.

I've tried clearing ache and cookies and disabling the ad blocker to no effect.

I'd cleared cookies but it didn't go until I went into

Settings>See all cookies and site data>Remove all

Cowabunga!

That seems to have worked, thanks.

What did you disable or change?

 

[CrashTestDummy]

Thank you to all who helped.

Following your tip about clicking on the padlock, I went into settings from that dropdown and cleared the cache from there and also reset the permissions to default (I've since returned and set the permissions to how I want them and all is still fine).

I'm going to re-enable AdBlock and see if that affects things.

ETA - re-enabling AdBlock has had no detrimental effect.

 

[BossHogg]

are you getting this after clearing cookies and/or in incognito mode? In Chrome?

I cleared the cache and it persisted, so I cleared it again and fingers crossed, it seems to have cured it.

I've had no problem with Android/Chrome.

On Fire tablet (Fire OS = backlevel Chrome, Silk browser) where I was having issues:

1. Three horizontal bars top left
2. Settings
3. Advanced
4. Site settings
5. Cookies
6. Add site exception
7. www.arrse.co.uk
8. Log back in

Edit. It's worked fine for 2½ hours so far.

Ran CCleaner , as of this moment all is good.
