JJ73 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Along the top of the screen, on the Tabs, I keep on seeing a message saying..."🚂Quick, The doors are Closing!" - err what doors - what does it mean???Any ideas??? 🤔🚂🚂🚂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 A recent MS innovation now puts a short piece of web page text relevant to your search response on the associated tab.If you look through the web page on that tab you will find something relevant to the text………. probably. The text does seem to change occasionally no doubt due to page content.Personally, I don’t find it very helpful.R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellocoloco Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Rog, is your avatar Caley 123?On the subject of the tab headers, which don't appear on my tablet incidentally but are on the PC, I think 'Mind the gap' would be more amusing....

Chrissaf Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I noticed this a few days ago. In my case, the alternating text says "Your Next Stop Hornby" and hasn't changed to anything different, regardless of what Hornby web page is open.I find it very irritating, as my eye keeps getting drawn to the tab when it changes, distracting my attention from the web page I am looking at.It only happens (so far) on a Hornby browser tab, and I can find no way yet to disable this web page advertising feature. Browser is Firefox, haven't tried other browsers yet to see if the same is observed on them as well.EDIT: Today it changed to "Don't miss your train".

RB51 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Just noticed it happening on Safari also….. irritating.If I stay on the forum the text is static. If I move to another tab the text alters between where I was on Hornby and Your Next Stop : HornbyMarketing strategy?R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Marketing strategy? I believe so, as this only happens on Hornby page tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellocoloco Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 It appears to have stopped..................(Chrome on Laptop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Doesn’t seem to be popular if such a ploy. Not the first unpopular marketing attempt to grab peoples’ attention - those pop up ads were soon scotched and the social media hopping advent calendar wasn’t that popular.

Chrissaf Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 It appears to have stopped..................(Chrome on Laptop) Not on my Firefox Browser. But note that it only displays on a Hornby Tab which is NOT open [in other words a Hornby page which is not currently displayed]. When you are viewing a Hornby page, the Tab text is stable and relevant to the page being viewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVR1707822112 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 It happens here as well. It says 'Quick, the doors are closing' which is really annoying - it happens on every hornby page so not related to a specific subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Feel free to let Hornby know their ploy is ‘unpopular’.Marketings contact details are openly available on the contact us page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
