Please make it go away :roll:

Or at least just once, several times will kill any enjoyment completely.
PS: I can't afford $20 a month or I would consider signing up, I have tried it and it was better than I expected.

It's really friggin' annoying! :x It's constantly popping up every time that you open a page or after you post. I managed to block the popup with my ad blocker, for the most part, other than the screen darkening where it is supposed to show up, then I have to click on the screen. At least I don't have to look at the ad. :roll: It's certainly pretty pervasive, to say the least.

Once on a visit would be OK like before.
But now, since about a week ago it pops up on every new forum page, even when previewing a post.

Overpushy advertizing which works against the product...

You can add a popup blocker addon to your browser.

It has been changed. I only saw it once this morning. :D

Yep, things back to normal. Thanks to the good people of Fender, whoever there (probably the web team) is to be praised.

Goes to show it sometimes pays to point out a defect, instead of taking desperate measures like pop-up blocker installments... :twisted:

And not to sound like a ( just can't put a word to it now, and I am not being mean spirited ), but do you know for sure it was fender who made the change ? Just curious

I just started getting the pop-up on this side of the border; so we'll see how it goes. Seems to be a minor nuisance so far.

FSB

Beats fake "YOU ARE A WINNER" pop-ups though. :lol:

I get it when I first navigate to the forum index (with a bookmark) and then I'm fine for the remainder of my visit here. If I leave and come back it pops up again even if I don't close the browser in between times.

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.

It did not pop up when I arrived this evening.
Is it gone?

I just got it but only at the login screen so it's not too annoying. :)

This is now my second visit with no pop-up.

Also, I am noticing the videos people post are finally working for me.
Whatever change they made when they introduced the pop-up did it.
They say every cloud has a silver lining.
I hope the demise of the pop-up doesn't mean my video problem is going to come back.
