On your last point — the new breaking news banner doesn't have the infuriating jump-to-top behaviour. At the moment the new banner is only on the new front page but I think we're going to backport it to other pages in the not-so-distant future.
- bbcbreaking 9y agoThis is at least an improvement. But can't the breaking news only appear if something breaks after I load the page, rather than on initial load? Even then... give me an option to set a cookie to never see it please.
- wldlyinaccurate 9y agoI'll raise this with our product team. I think it's totally reasonable to expect the banner not to appear as soon as you load the page — if there's a breaking news story, it will already be on the page, right? So there's no need to also pop up a banner with the same story. But —this is a big "but"— I wouldn't expect this to happen soon. Changes take a long time at the BBC :)
- bbcbreaking 9y agoClosing the breaking news now at least seems to be fixed (it no longer scrolls back to top). Thanks!
- bbcbreaking 9y agoThank you! I've been very close to stopping using the BBC news site recently due to the breaking news banner.
