    Pop-Ups

    We've been plagued by these pop-ups for awhile now, And I am rather annoyed by them. It's no big deal, but........why should we have to cancel these things out, while we are Logging in on the forum. If I wanted to read about a Chevy HD pick-up......I would go to the Chevy site. I feel like it is being forced upon me! That seems to be the trend these days.

    Why should a bank tell me that I'm going to be charged with a $15/year charge for security, unless I choose to cancel it? I didn't ask for it in the first place. Why do they think that they have the right to automatically enroll me? It doesn't really effect my account.......but I am furious that they force me to enroll.....unless I decline.

    Exactly who do they think they are? Bob

    So, turn-off your pop-ups, it's an option on most 'puters.

    Why does the phone company charge extra to NOT put your name in the book?

    Bob I have no idea what you are talking about. Pop ups are controlled by you in your browser..

    There are no pop ups that i am aware of unless you are not logged in as a user. Again automatic log in is also controlled by you and your browser.

    Hope this helps!

    Because they know people will pay them to not be annoyed!

    Do not know which version of I.E. Explorer you are using, but under the "Tools" Tab you should find "Popup" Blocker. (See my Screenshot)
    Hope this Helps Bob.

    Using Firefox with the Adblocker extension here...no problems and no pop ups!
    U. S. debt explained...Let's say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood......and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceiling.
    What do you think you should do?
    Raise the ceiling or pump out the crap?
