Opening Pop-Up is Not Believable

[Soundguy]

Recently the opening pop-up asking visitors to join TBN shows a new picture of a happy couple on 60+ year old Ford tractor. The steering on these old machines was hard and by now most of them steer REALLY hard and the smiling face on the woman at the wheel is completely unbelievable. So is her two-fisted tight grip on the wheel.?

depends on the specific machine. For instance.. on an 8n.. if the top and bottom thrust bearings are new, renewed, or in good adjustment, and the worm gear and ballnut are in good condition, and the box is full of lube... the N steer just fine. I probably have 20 fords in my barn.. 3 have power steering. the rest are manual.. none steer hard... because I rebuilt their steering boxes and / or properly adjust and maintain them.

and it's not just fords.. I have red ones, green ones, orange ones.. etc. all steer fine, manual steering.. well maintained and lubricated stering boxes.

Advertisers and PR people often ruin their credibility by showing how little they really understand their subject - but THIS on TBN? Really?

same could be said of those who complain about a vauge topic with no specific knowledge of the particular machine at hand. eh?

How can I get rid of this stupid popup for good.

Not to be rude, but you were told, Firefox, make the change, nobody going to do it for ya.

How can I get rid of this stupid popup for good. It appears each time I visit a new page. This is rediculous. It needs to be done away with.

When you are logged in, there are no pop-ups. Ever.

When you are not logged in, the pop-up appears once every 3 days to remind users to either log in or sign up if they haven't already.

If it's appearing more frequently than that, you should clear your cookies as it might be an old version of the cookie loading it too often. It should not be showing every page.

If you have cookies disabled, then you will likely run into the pop-up more frequently.

When you are logged in

Which opens another whole can of worms. :confused2:

Even with Firefox, I'd rather browse the forum as a visitor.

why? as a visitor?

 

[Willl]

When I'm signed in, the forum software seems to think it knows where I left off on a multi page thread. More times then not, it's wrong.

To me, it's the most annoying feature.

 

[Soundguy]

yep.. it never gets it right for me either..

 

[Willl]

Oh my, I fired up IE just to take a look at what you guys are seeing.

Almost had to put my welding helmet on to stop the flashy blindness.

I won't be back until the popup is gone. It is unneeded and bothersome. I don't want to have to log in each time I visit and I don't want to see the popup on each page every time I browse. Sorry, but I can't use firefox because it is incompatible with my schools blackboard learning system. I have cookies enabled and I just cleared them yesterday and still have the same results. Smart business would be to do away with the popup; however, if the popup doesn't disappear then I will.

So you're saying it shows every time a page loads?

Yes, each time a new page loads, the pop up reappears.

For example if I click on news/feedback, the pop up will appear.

Then if I click on this thread, the popup will appear again.

Then if I click on page two, The pop up will pop up again.

Then if I click on page three, you guessed it, I get to cancel the pop up yet once again.

That's not the way it's suppose to work at all. It's suppose to show once every three days only. I tested it several times to see if I could get it to load on every page load and was unable to get it to load more than once per session.

Which browser and version are you using?

 

[ljohnson778]

I mostly view TBN on my iPad or iPhone. The app is waaaaay better than the web site. Just my $.02

 

[rsewill]

Sorry, but I can't use firefox because it is incompatible with my schools blackboard learning system.

Uh, can't you use multiple browsers? One for your learning system and another for some other purposes.

 

[DIRTROAD]

Which browser and version are you using?

I use the latest version of Internet Explorer on a brand new (less than 2 months old) Dell Laptop.

Did you change something, because I haven't seen any pop-ups yet this morning?

Thank you, if you made changes.

 

[DIRTROAD]

I don't get the pop up on each page anymore; however, if I navigate away from TBN and come right back, I will get the pop up. Apparently, the three day rule doesn't apply to my computer. It is a thousand times better than it was before though. I can assure you that cookies are enabled also.

 

[Soundguy]

do you have medium high or higher security settings?

 

[MasseyWV]

Today, for the first time, that annoying popup has appeared while using Firefox with AdBlock and NoScript. That won't do. Time to get aggressive and kill it once and for all.

 

[DIRTROAD]

The only solution that I have found is to remain logged in. Even then it still appears occasionally. Very aggrevating!

 

[Soundguy]

i never log out.. see no reason too!
