Department71 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 How can I stop the annoying popup that appears everytime I open the forum page asking if I want a free edition of living France. I didn't ask for it to appear and I have block pop ups ticked in Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well I look at it like this, I chose to come on here and Living France are surely entitled to put whatever offers and adverts they want before allowing access to this board. It is a board with few enough adverts so I am quite happy that they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all if Living France withdrew their sponsorship of this forum you might have to join one of the others and that would be a burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert the InfoGipsy Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Over the last year or two I've found less and less of interest to me on this forum. If this stupid pop-up stays I think I'll just stop visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert the InfoGipsy Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks for the thought, but I'm not much of a thread-starter. I tend to get involved with technical stuff like IT, building, photography, business regimes. At one time this forum was quite active in some of these areas but now it's much more of a chat room. Also, some of the more entertaining types seem to have vanished -- haven't seen FurryKnickers since I can't remember when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I always find that thinking about Anne Widecombe for ten minutes avoids pop ups.Those of a more liberal inclination will find Cyril Smith has a similar impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idun Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Jay I have had no wind at all with bananas. So your imagination has got the better of you there.Listen if people don't post boards die. It is quite simple. Just look at how many people lurk and do not post. Why they look, be voyeurs and not say a word is beyond me. Just looking will never keep any board on the web going. So now you have had a dig, 'you' post something extremely interesting and relevant to France and life in France. Go on, give it a try. But remember that as with any conversation anywhere, they stray onto other subjects, that is what people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 In reply to Pachapapa, you joined the forum in 2008.
