Default Why

I'm a life time supporting member, I strat a post asking about the pop ups and it gets lock, This is BULL ****. I guess this is one way to chase poeple away from this forum. How about refunding my money I payed to support this forum. I did not pay this to whatch pop ups everytime I read a post. New owners or not this is BULL ****.

Uh... There is a pop up on your post.

I don't care about the banners and the margins as I understand the supporting vendor's desire for exposure but right on a members post is too much.

BTW I refuse to click on the pop up.

The short answer to why? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

There's a thread in off topic to complain on. Let's all make that the biggest thread ever. Maybe they will get the hint

Maybe if they changed the pop up once in a while. I'm tired of seeing Dale. I kind of ignore it like the ones on the tv screens.
