JohnRoss Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 This comes up every time I connect to the forum. "Register now and receive a FREE digital copy of Living France magazine every month." Very nice of them but is there a catch? Anybody done it?.........JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanS Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Same here, so I registered then it stopped coming up. I used to subscribe to online copies but never got round to reading them so didn't do another year. Will wait and see what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witsinfr Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It's all down to 'cookies', when you sign up the website will issue you a cookie to tell them not to display the message next time you open the website.If your browser is set to delete cookies when you close it then the pop-up message will continue to appear despite you having already signed up for the magazine.Simples...

AnOther Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 [quote user="witsinfr"]It's all down to 'cookies'[/quote]Sorry but no it isn't.I registered when it first popped up and I accept cookies, if you don't then if you close down your browser you would have to sign in the next time you visited the forum, and I don't.Yes it's only a click to get rid of it but displays a degree of amateurism on the part of the webmasters that they can't stop it coming up once people have registered and causing a completely unnecessary irritation.Martin, if all you see is a blank box with 'close' at the bottom then you have a popup blocker. This is what happens with Firefox if you add the popup to the Adblock blacklist (the first thing I tried when it first popped up !). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
