Obnoxious JOIN EVENT pop-ups

Feature Requests
1

Join Event? Join Event! Event is starting soon! Join Event! JOIN EVENT!!!

Can we get an option to disable these? A “Don’t show me this again” checkbox (like the one for the Hide UI pop-up) would do the trick. Between Companion and the in-game pop-ups, it’s obnoxious and interferes with my warm-up. Especially the one that comes up ~5:00 before the event where you have to click No Thanks or it joins the event automatically. The countdown timer and “Join Event” button in the bottom left corner of the screen is enough.

Gets my vote.

I’ve ranted about this in the past. I feel like there’s an existing Feature Request to make them less annoying, but I couldn’t find it.

Protip for you folks: don’t sign up to the wrong event from the new home screen. :rofl:

I don’t mind the “Join Event” button at the lower left of the computer screen. And the single automatic join event pop-up isn’t so bad.

But yes, please, give us a way to stop the multiple pop-ups on the companion app screen.

(It used to be that if you clicked the [X] on that companion app pop-up it would go away and not come back. That changed some years ago.)

I just got booted from a Giant Gravel Crushers race 300m before the finish… got a pop-up for the next event and I didn’t have my mouse nearby and couldn’t click “No Thanks” before the timer ran out. I was only there to unlock the hat, now I have to do the whole thing again. This really should be disabled if you’re already in an event.

:100:

Today I got half an hour of join-event alerts in Companion because I joined the Kask ride and ended it because the leader wasn’t present, deciding to free ride instead. It would be excellent to have a button to opt out of all future alerts for an event (and to have no default action that stops you from what you’re currently doing).

Bringing this forward again…

I signed up for an event today and then decided to do a different ride. I did not manage to find a way to un-join the event after it had started and had to endure half an hour of “Join Event” reminders popping up on the companion app screen every few minutes.

PLEASE give us a way to stop these. “No. And don’t remind me again.” Or just restore the functionality “X” to close the window, which used to disable further pop-up reminders.

Again today, I started a ride, decided to do something else and quit the event.

For the next half an hour, every 90 seconds:

   **MOBILE ALERT**

EVENT STARTING SOON
** JOIN EVENT**
** NOT YET**

In the name of all that is holy, give us a way to stop the incessant pop-ups!

I have no idea about your settings, but my Companion App (Android phone) pops up one hour, 30 and 15 minutes before start. And I can be riding, switch to Events in menu and can un-join - no problems here.

It does not seem to be possible to un-join an event that has already started. I tried.

Seriously, pop-ups every 90 seconds for 30 minutes. If there’s a setting to stop or change this I want to know about it!

I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it other than remember to remove yourself. It’s not good. Needs a dismiss button that makes it go away forever.

Yes, this is not possible. But why don’t you unjoin before in the Companion App?

Unfortunately with the companion app on iPhone, it is impossible to go the events page when you’re synced with a ride (the map is shown where you on) you can only unjoin when you close your WiFi, then go to events and unjoin. But not when the ride is started, because then it is not any more in your events list.

Sometime I use the direct link which is stored in my personal calendar….

Yes, you can. When the map is displayed the events tab is moved to the More menu.
