Why is it that every time I go to the home page when browsing, it keeps asking for my location? It’s really annoying and making the web app difficult to use. And yes... my location is turned on!

Going to settings and then going to apps and check that your browser location permission is switched on

It’s turned on! Always has been! Every time I go to home page on mobile app it keeps asking for location. And it’s doing my head it. Surely I’m not the only one with this issue??

Are you turning it off from your settings in your phone, as in location services

It’s turned on my settings. So no idea why it keeps asking me. It never used to before but it does ALL the time now and I don’t even look at fab as much coz it’s really annoying.

Same!! Thought I was going mental but seems a few people have it, no point even contacting fab as they only contact you when your membership is up , other than that they are useless! I don’t even get sent emails anymore about notifications, I’ve mailed them over 20 times about it and nothing in return

It’s started happening for me too in the last week or so. I end up just turning off near me now so that it stops.

That’s the point tho. U shouldn’t have to. It ruins our experience. Come on admin team. Respond or let us know what’s happening.

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Ok. So no update from anyone or the mod team on fab. This is a joke. They’re on your case quick if u misunderstand or violate their terms and conditions. But stuff like this they’re completely ignoring. Come on guys. You’re better than that.

I have the same issue sometimes but I just tap "yes" and move on.

Not really a problem and really doesn't bother me.

Maybe you have declined cookies, there is a reason why they are used.

Yet again no location to see who is nearby

Does it on mine as well. Plus, every time you refresh ‘who is near’. Not sure if it’s linked to the latest iOS update.

Anyone experiencing it using Android?

Is it Fab or your browser doing it? My browser keeps asking to allow my location even though it's supposed to be off.

Nope. Everything is normal. Never used to do this before. My location is on but it keeps asking for it every time I go to home page or ‘who’s nearby’ page.

I've had this the past week. It's suddently rectified itself. No help from admin on the issue either when I posted up the problem last week.

Hi everyone, I hope I have found a solution to this.... everything worked fine with the location functionality until a few days ago. Checked all the permissions etc - all as should be.

I then realised that I had set my browser (dolphin) to private Browning.

Turned this back to normal browsing and everything back to normal - not ideal, but it does now work.

Hope this works for you too.

On safari go to settings , privacy then location services, scroll down to safari websites . Then click never. Most automatically ask for it when you switch on the browser unless you turn it off .

If it works for you send a

Question:

Has anyone actually contacted admin instead of just posting on here. I had a different problem a couple of weeks ago and within hours they got back to me.

Just a suggestion.

You can use the contact link at the very bottom of every page.

It's not a new thing. This was happening 6 or 8 months ago too and was raised in the forums then. A few like myself keep location off perminantly now. If I've mine on for maps or anything I just now switch it off automatically without thinking when I go into Fab.

Lots of different asks here. But if your using a private browser to hide your history it also doesn’t remember your response therefore asks every time. Not Fabs fault but browser.

If android and chrome browser try.

Setting

Site settings

Location setting

Look under allowed, if fab already on this try clicking and clearing site settings to remove it.

Then fresh re-log on to fab worked for mine.

So glad I came across this conversation! Keep clicking to allow location has been pissing me right for months...... as suggested I had it on private mode (iPhone)!

Switched it off and boom! No more sodding pop ups allowing access every two mins!

I couldn’t give two hoots who sees my location I’m not precious lol!

Happy Swinging Peeps!
