Am I the only one getting accosted with a big red SIGN UP pop-up box every fscking time I enter this site?

No, I don't want to sign up. PLEASE RESPECT MY NO, Fender. I'm not going to change my mind the 30th time I see the pop-up if I said no 29 times already. If it's not gone within a work day or two, I'll rage-quit. Yes, it's that irritating.

Yeah,......... I'm getting the same red box also. It's irritating, but I just X out of it. I'd like to have the option to opt out of the sign up, so it's not popping up any more. I'm not signing up for it either.

I'm not sure what the red sign is. Spam? After all this is Fender and if Brad wants something from us he will tell us.

I saw it once.
Are we talking maybe two or three weeks ago now, that it showed up the first time?
I admit it was rather worrisome seeing it that one time.
I immediately had visions of continuous badgering but that never materialized.
I said no the first time and it stopped right there.
Never saw it again.

(keeping fingers crossed)

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I've been getting that, too. Doesn't make much sense to me, since I've been registered and signed up with this place for years.

I wont threat FMIC with quitting on a free forum, but I do get some rage rushes with this "step right up" pop-up.

Wouldn't mind if it popped up once a day, on the first visit. But it jumps up repeatedly and randomly - whether just following a link or opening new windows, sometimes r - e - a - l - l - y late, like when I'm already typing.
And the worst part: the jumper doesn't recognize I'm already signed in - and subscribed to the newsletter email.

I attend the forum from several computers/tablets/phone, so cleaning browser history (etc.) is routine.

The ad level on the forum has been on a comfy level, especially compared with the recent developments on those other somewhat similar forums.
My guess is, this style advertizing doesn't even bring many new customers to Fender - especially since a lot of the wonderful stuff & sizzle is targeted at US residents only.
(I'll be kind and refrain from telling jokes about the glitchy quality of the pop-up in relation to Fender quality cotrol in general.)

So, guys/gals/others @Fender, maybe it's high time to call it a lemon & squeeze.

It does seem to have quelled a bit. Have not seen it in the last few days. Its repeated appearance after declining (already signed up) was quite annoying, almost Facebook like

I get it every time I click on "Fender" in my favorites, and the home page is loading.

Minor nuisance, because I am already signed up for e-mails (of which I already get a MINIMUM of one a day)---but as someone else already said; 'x' out of it, and I don't see it for the rest of my visit to the site.

What tends to annoy me more, is when you click on a link that someone posts (to a pic, or YouTube, or gear site, or whatever)...instead of the link opening in a different window, it'll use the window we are on to read the forums. But even THAT is not gonna make me "quit coming here".

I get so much help, and useful information from these forums (FOR FREE) that I can put up with a quip or glitch here or there.
