Do you ever accidentally hit that banner on top

And wind up viewing a profile you had no intention of visiting?

It’s happened to me twice this week.

No hidden VIP’s thinking I’m stalking please. 😊

And why do they show old profiles of old friends you haven’t talked to in ages anyway???

Some of them haven’t even been on here in months, maybe even years.

Sigh.

The programming of the page is bad. If you scroll the page first, the banner shows in the correct place. It is overlaying the buttons.

Maybe it's on purpose.

@Livingwell To make it look like I’m a stalker??? Lol
Livingwell · 61-69, M
@HeavenBesideYou yup! 😆😆😆
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Livingwell well damn. I will have to be more careful.
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
@HeavenBesideYou Why are you talking about yourself in third person?
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Fungirlmmm Hahaha. You know who I’m talking about, and it’s not me. Plus, it’s Deg who brought you in to the convo.

@HeavenBesideYou Hey! I have your back, don`t throw me under the bus. 😕
Yes i have but thankfully they can't tell. Lol
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Sojournersoul Well I can’t anyway because I don’t have VIP anymore. Lol
@HeavenBesideYou I know. Even if you did, i have the settings on.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Sojournersoul Right. 👍
boudinMan · 61-69, M
yes, it has happened to me quite a few times. there's a lag when you go to a page and click in a hurry only to have the page contents shift right as you click. that's what causes me to click on the banner anyway.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@boudinMan Ah! So maybe I’m not so accident prone after all!! I’ll take it! Lol

It used to - but mine doesn't do that anymore - it shows the last 2 or 3 people I've interacted with...I don't think I've changed anything, so I don't know why...🤷🏻‍♂
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@fun4us2b Sometimes mine does that too, and sometimes it shows old friends that haven’t been around in forever. 🤷‍♀
fun4us2b · M
@HeavenBesideYou LOL - Now you're the one up there 😅
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@fun4us2b haha. Well no worries I don’t have VIP 😜

Payment on ad click is multiple times more than for an impression(display). No doubt if they programmed it explicitly for us to click accidentally on ads.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@ABCDEF7 Yeah I click on those accidentally too sometimes
Tumbleweed · F
I wasn't sure what the banner even meant so I'm always careful not to tap it!
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Tumbleweed It just takes you to someone’s profile. So now you know. 😉
Tumbleweed · F
@HeavenBesideYou Oh, ok! Thank you! I was tempted a time or two but decided against it! Thank you 🙂
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Tumbleweed You’re very welcome! 😊
lost213 · 46-50, M
I’ve done it a couple of times… and figured .. ah since I’m here let’s have a look.. then I regret it…lol why is it even there!?
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@lost213 Idk? It didn’t used to be there. 🤷‍♀
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
I know. It makes me excited to see them thinking they’re back, but then I’m bummed when they’re not.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@ChampagneOnIce Yeah. A lot of mine up there have been gone for a long time 🤷‍♀
Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M
Snd why do you have to block friend that have left SW?
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Strictmichael75 I rarely block anyone. Who said anything about blocking?
Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M
@HeavenBesideYou look at your friends lidt
When people leave you cannot eliminate them from the list
You have to block them! That’s the problem
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Strictmichael75 Ohhh! I just usually leave them.
SparkleLeaf · 51-55, T
Yeah I've doen that a few times already
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@SparkleLeaf Glad it’s not just me. 😊
BuzzedLightyear · 61-69, M
this goes deeper than you know
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@BuzzedLightyear How deep does it go???
BuzzedLightyear · 61-69, M
@HeavenBesideYou why do you think this sight exists? for profit? 😅
bikelover · 56-60, M
I always wondered why they show those 🤷🏻‍♂
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@bikelover There’s really no good reason, that I can tell.
Coldplay · 61-69, M
Yeah I do. Not a big deal.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Coldplay Not a huge deal, just kind of awkward

HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@FoolishLuna lol. Thanks for the invite! 😉

Good to see you. It’s been a minute.
SW-User
I always clean up my mess before leaving 😌
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@SW-User lol. Can you teach my granddaughter? She comes through here like a cyclone and then dips leaving everything in her wake
SW-User
@HeavenBesideYou Sorry I’m really really busy ..

HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@SW-User It appears so!!
sometimes my mousepad on my laptop acts finicky and when i'm scrolling through posts and land on a user name it might get "stuck" and the i get all pissed off and try to move pointer but end up opening profile....
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@beermeplease I’ve done that too, from a comment, but I’m on my phone, so mostly it’s just from hitting the wrong place when I’m scrolling 😂
Wizardry · 46-50, M
Do that on occasion
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Wizardry It didn’t used to be there. I guess I have fumble fingers or I’m not paying good enough attention

HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Sojournersoul Thanks! Been a minute since i listened to it. 💗
@HeavenBesideYou Thought that is where you got your name.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@Sojournersoul It definitely is!
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@RedBaron Good dexterity on your part!!

I think you're stalking me 🤨

Oh wait, did you even hit me up, and why didn't you? 🧐
SUPERVlXEN · F
@HeavenBesideYou
Oh, I'm never up there, it seems 😑
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@SUPERVlXEN I just checked and you could be right!!! 😂

HumanEarth · F
What banner are you talking about? Maybe I know or maybe I don't know. I do know I'm confused as 1970s sitcom dumb blonde
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@HumanEarth The one under the blue banner after you hit the home button. Profile pics of other members.

And I’ve hit that “sensitive” button by mistake too, more than once. 😂
HumanEarth · F
That never happens to me. I used a desktop. My layout is totally different. See I don't own a cellphone and I see everything different

Now hitting the smiley face things. That's another story. My mouse likes to stick over them and click the wrong thing
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@HumanEarth Ah. I rarely access the site through anything but my phone these days, but I do remember it does have a different layout on a computer
Mine doesn’t do that anymore. There was a time it was even showing friends here who had passed away, which was eerie.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@bijouxbroussard Yes I think that happened to me too with keepitsimple. And I agree it was strange feeling.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
Yep. Sometimes, it's not too pleasant.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@HeavenBesideYou It's like NOOOOOOOOO!!!
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@uncalled4 Exactly. Especially if it’s someone that already thinks they’re all that. 😜
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@HeavenBesideYou ...and now they think YOU want something to do with them.😄

@ThirstenHowl Unfortunately I’m not techy enough for that lol
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Yeah, I don't understand that, either.
BigGuy2 · 31-35, M
I've done similar, accidentally hit a persons profile, when i wouldn't have done it normally, probably THE best 'accident' i've done 🤤🤤🤤
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
@BigGuy2 Glad it worked out for you!
