Great news that the Discourse team might be expanding and there are jobs to be had. I am not eligible/available and having dismissed the banner once do not want to see it again. However, every so often it gets reposted. Is there a way here on Discourse Meta to suppress it?
AI-generated summary
The discussion on Discourse Meta revolves around the persistent “we’re hiring” banner, which users find intrusive despite being able to dismiss it. glimfeather expresses frustration over the banner reappearing, noting they are ineligible for roles and find it annoying. pfaffman and Stephen explain that the banner returns when new jobs are posted, and david clarifies it should stay hidden for 3 months per device. Jagster and darkpixlz raise concerns about the technical nature of the issue, with darkpixlz suggesting AdBlock as a solution, though glimfeather notes it doesn’t work in the Discourse Hub app. Jagster emphasizes that the issue is Discourse-wide and not specific to Meta.
There is an
at the upper right hand corner. Click it.
I did and do but as I say it comes back.
Even if you close it, it will come back. Presumably when new roles are posted.
Personally I don’t mind it, CDCK provides meta at no cost and IMHO they’re free to advertise whatever they want.
Oh. Perhaps so. I don’t see it now and don’t remember the last time I clicked it.
But maybe it does reappear when a new job is posted.
I do. Not because of that banner, but same tech is in use in many forums for different purposes.
And IF it popups because of rebuilding or another similar reason it can be somekind issue. Not major one, of course, but spammy minor one.
When dismissed, the hiring banner should remain hidden on that device for 3 months.
Not long enough for me. I will never be eligble nor available for Discourse jobs. For US based riles very little chance of me getting clearance. FOr other roles I do not possess the requisite skills.
But that banner is only on this site.
So? And everyone is using same system and facing same issue IF the reason is technical.
Not useful when using the Discourse Hub app.
We (in the meaning discourse admins) can’t advise adblock to fix popup issue — because this is not Meta related thing, but Discourse wide — again — IF the reason comes from code.
