pop-upsFollow

Is it time to draw the line with Alla? I have been a supporter for many years now. I am not happy with the non-search ability of the EQII forums but have learned to live with it. The forums are now becoming more useful and have some very dedicated posters. But I really think that Alla's new use of pop-up windows may be going too far. Why should I pay for advertisements? Isn't that one of the main reasons for financial support on other forums? The elimination of those annoying and multiplying pop-ups?

What's up with that Alla? At first I thought it must just be my home computer's settings. I do most of my posting from my work computer. I just logged into Alla at work and got two pop-up ads.

Has anyone else noticed this? I don't like to complain but I really detest pop-ups.

You can subscribe to alla's site for a few bucks a month to actually really support him. Once you do that all popups and advertisments are gone.

And you can still be pissed at him for the **** poor search feature and lack of content! :D

Me: Excuse me, bank teller, why is this line longer than a new ride at Disneyland? I've been in line so long I've had to shave twice.
Them: Oh this is the line for everyone that has not paid a special upgrade fee.
Me: Upgrade fee? What does that get me?
Them: You get to move to that line over there. [points]

Cue the angelic choir, clouds parting casting sunlight on a red carpet that leads to happy, smiling bank teller, waiting to take my business. Fruity drinks with little umbrellas are served over there.

Me: [sigh]

Or

Me: Ow, stop poking me.
Them: I'm supposed to. [pokes]
Me: Ow, go away.
Them: Only if you pay me. [pokes]
Me: Ow, look, you keep poking me someone is going to get hurt.
Them: Looks like it's you. [pokes]
Me: [sigh]

Instead of a personal welcome message can I just get a fruity drink?

Zoo asked:

As a premium member, you should NEVER see pop ups. I access this site from home and work, (Did I say that out loud? Oh, I mean I could access this site from work!!!), and never see any at all. They only appear if I view the site without logging in as OBD.

I agree that you shouldn't have to deal with them... you paid for your ticket, you shouldn't have to ride in the baggage compartment!

Tutan... Unfortunately, I don't think the fruity drink thing is an option... but may I offer you a Refreshing Fayberry Fizzlepop while you wait? (Should last you 3 hours and 22 minutes...)

download firefox.

As I always say when questions about Premium payment come up, Alla is the last bastion against the evil plat sellers, and I'll keep my premium payment going forever if it helps him to stay that way

I agree with the above, download firefox.

If you insist on using IE, at least download Pop-Up Stopper. Free and easy to use.

Ah..I'm on Firefox and I still get pop ups on Alla..And everywhere else for that matter..I'm not saying Firefox is bad..No I love firefox..Just saying firefox might not work as a solution..

No I do..Its the only reason I really got Firefox..Besides that you can get rid of your History/Cookies/Cache/Prefs and whatever else is under there...I don't like people knowing what I've been looking up..Even if its only Eq2..
