Airforums Daily popup

Is there a reason that the airforums daily pitch pops up at least 10 times in five minutes? It's very annoying and certainly doesn't impress me enough to sign up.

Have you turned the popup off in your control panel?

The very last item in "edit options" is "Airstream Daily Popup Toggle"
That fixed it for me. I never see at all now.

The AIRSTREAM DAILY pop-up is driving me crazy, to the point that I am loosing interest in the forum. It pops-up two to three times on EACH PAGE!!

it is doing this on all three of my computers. Pop-up blocker is turned on.

this is really a recent problem; started last month.

nothing I do seems to affect it.

any advice other than to stop visiting the forum?

thanks,

Signing in helps versus looking in, clicking the pop up blocker on the options page helps and being an annual supporting member ($20.00 a year) really helps.

Sometime when I am attempting to sign on to a laptop at home it pops up so fast and frequent I can't even get my password finished. Arrrgh!!

So glad I mostly use AirForums on my Android.

Wow...😳


OP - can you access by a smart phone or tablet? They don't show up in the app at all. If not, Ken's suggestion should work. Good luck!

You can become a paying member and no more popups....

However, I will have to think very seriously about paying for a third year.

Naw, I didn't say a word. I did write something, though.

However, it requires being able to read in order to get anything out of it.

Ken

P.S. I can understand you ignoring my frequently lengthy posts. However this one was fairly short.
Some people like to hear themselves talk. I like to read myself write.

It took me 20 minutes to defeat the damn pop up on my iPad so I could even sign in to go to the CP. The reason that I won't pay the $20 is, in my opinion, the heavy handed censorship by some of the mods.


Forgot to mention that even after I struggled to get through the pop ups to access my CP, the pop up blocker was already on!

Does that mean you are still having a problem with it?

I also have AdBlock plus installed. Maybe that's what is suppressing it for me. Although I have seen it recently when I forgot to log in.

All my stuff is Windows or Android.

Could this not be worded better? Which answer is correct?

Airstream Daily Popup Toggle
If you're having trouble with the Airstream Daily Popup showing too often, you can disable it here.
On Off

I have defeated the pop up on my lap top using the On Off toggle. However, it doesn't seem to work on an iPad. I'd be curious to know if the pop up is even effective as a marketing tool.

Like me, I do not login very frequently, but do like to read the forums. So the daily popular is a royal PITA. Many times it is so quick to reload I don't get to get my name and PW in before popping back up.

Why should I have to login to read items of interest?

Other wise I just ignore the flapping lips and read between the lines for myself.

Ken,
Are you referring to turning on the pop-up blocker on the computer using Control Panel then Internet Options?

If it is, then yes.

Now if there is a way to turn it off through the Forum site while logged in, then no. I do not see a "preferences" option on the site.

thanks,

The 'popup' happens all the time on my iPhone 6... but not on the 'application' ... not as often on the MAC... especially since I installed an application that BLOCKS some of the 'tracking' noise....

When used as a supporting member on an Android thru the app you stay signed in/on and the pop up never pops unless you go into a classifieds posting.

I seem to remember I got some pop ups on that daily thing for a while and then they stopped. More annoying to me is all the ads I have started seeing for things I researched on various websites weeks ago—they are showing up everywhere and I will have to get an ad blocker soon.

I am a supporting member because it is easier than not being one even though, like Dennis, I think the mods are heavy handed. But I can store more photos, etc., as a supporting member. I don't know whether that makes a difference in the daily thing and I only access the Forum through my laptop. I looked at it a couple of years ago on my iPad and it took too much time to figure out how to configure it, so I decided I didn't need to check out things here on an iPad.

As to whether Ken's posts are worth hearing (I guess if I turned on Siri, I could listen to them) or reading, I do read them because I'm trying to understand the ravings of a senior citizen with a cat fetish. This kind of psychological problem has mystified professionals for decades Ken is actually quite harmless so long as his wife keeps him restrained. I do live much further away from Ken than Dave does, so I can understand Dave's anxiety.

This mostly useless post has been an effort to avoid going out on the deck and finishing painting it.

You can change your account settings here to disable the popup: http://www.airforums.com/forums/prof...do=editoptions

It's the very last option. Once you have made the change, click save. This setting is only in effect when you are logged in
