    When running WordPress 4 and Google Chrome the Cat Signal message (the Net Neutrality one currently) appears on every damn page! Each time you surf to a new page it appears again. I’m all for supporting this cause but that’s too much. Sorry but I’ve disabled it until I can be sure this is fixed.

    Did you set which page to show it on in the options?

    It’s set to “All pages” yes, which is fine, but surely it should only appear once per visitor? That’s the behavior I’m seeing in Firefox and IE, but not Chrome.

    There’s no cookie set per user. If you have it set to All Pages, it will appear on All Pages which is the exact same behavior as the javascript code you can add to your site from https://internetdefenseleague.org. All this plugin does is make it so you don’t need to hack your theme to add the javascript.

    If you have suggestions about how the javascript/campaign modals display, I’d suggest making them to the developer Google Group — I don’t contribute to or have any control over the actual behavior of the campaigns.

    Very weird then, because I’m absolutely 100% sure it only appears once per visit in IE and Firefox but on every page in Chrome. At least, once I dismiss the message it doesn’t appear again until I clear my browser cache.

    Every page is absurd really, there’s making a point about an important issue and just annoying the crap out of your visitors.

    I’ll change the preferences to homepage only then, but of course that will miss a lot of visitors who won’t enter the site from the homepage.

    If it’s inconsistent (and I haven’t checked) across browsers, that’s definitely something to report to the developer group. You can also create a ticket on the GitHub project. Like I said, all this plugin does is use their javascript so you don’t need to take apart your theme.

    Yeah I probably should. Sometimes I get to feel like I’m the internet busy-body with all these accounts and forum posts reporting little issues, still I guess it is the responsible thing to do ??

    I’ll tell you first hand from a developer’s perspective — if a user doesn’t report an issue, it doesn’t exist. ??

    But yeah, I hadn’t ever checked other browsers. If it’s going away in all but Chrome, that sounds like a bug and something they should know about.
