wlaidlaw Posted September 7, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I hate the pop-up "rate this thread" that has appeared in the last few days on the forum. It has reached the point where I almost expect to be handed a survey form every time I come out of a toilet: "Was that a good pee for you?" The performance assessment industry has reached absurd proportions. Nearly every thing you do online, now generates a survey response: "how did we do?" Everything you buy on Amazon generates an assessment report not just on the item but a second one on the packaging. How did we survive on just trying to do a good job without a survey report?

Gibbo Posted September 7, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 7, 2017 Hasn't happened to me. Is your membership up for renewal by any chance, Wilson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted September 7, 2017 David, I am fairly sure my renewal is on auto and I have not received a renewal request. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted September 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 7, 2017 I haven't been able to produce the pop-ups, neither with my regular account nor the other one. Can you do a screen shot of one, please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted September 7, 2017 Share #5 Posted September 7, 2017 David, I am fairly sure my renewal is on auto and I have not received a renewal request. Wilson I asked because funny things have happened on my profile the last two years when my membership, which should also be set for automatic, was due for renewal. Andreas had to resolve both times.

LocalHero1953 Posted September 7, 2017 Share #8 Posted September 7, 2017 I'm ashamed to at that I have only recently started to subscribe. Even as a freeloader I never saw a popup like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted September 7, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 7, 2017 Wilson - I still have not been able to provoke my browser into showing that thing. At a guess, I would think that your browser might be holding a broken or old copy of a style sheet or a script. The pop-up on your screen shot seems particularly useless; I can't believe it's there by design. I can but suggest the usual things: Turn off ad blockers (if any) Log out, clear the cookies for this site, log in again Clear the cache Try another browser Edit: I have hidden the screen shot; I think it shows information we don't usually publish in this forum. Andreas and the moderators still can see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted September 7, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 7, 2017 Hi Wilson. I've not seen these pop ups. Please let me know how useful my response has been from 1-10 and would you recommend my responses to a friend yes or no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted September 8, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 8, 2017 Will figure this out with Wilson. Official Disclaimer: You should never ever see any pop up advertisement in this forum - no matter if you are premium or normal (and appreciated) member. Pop up ads are evil and annoying and I will never use them in this forum. The „Rate this thread“ functionality should wait patiently at the top of this page and is not supposed to open in a pop up.

wlaidlaw Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted September 8, 2017 Sorted it. The latest beta of High Sierra with a new version of Safari, had turned on "reader viewer" by default. When I turned this off, all reverted to normal. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted September 8, 2017 Share #13 Posted September 8, 2017 Ah, thanks for the feedback. Will help to solve similar problems in the future... Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
