theawesome1 Posted June 17, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Stop the pop up newsletter, or do not email it to me. Once is enough. Everytime I log on to read posts & have to get the newsletter that isn't news anymore in the way. TURN IT OFF! It is becoming SPAM. My logo: When we disembark, I just have to book another!

raudacruise Posted June 17, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Do what we do and skip the home page. Go to the boards and bookmark the page in your browser. Fortunately, no popups there. Still has news but some of the things on the homepage are missing. Still better than that popup. When we say no, we really mean no.

ejhall Posted June 18, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2004 The newsletter pop-up is very annoying! I suppose that I could bookmark the boards page like raudacruise suggested, but I do like to glance at the homepage to see what is new. Celebrity Infinity 9/5/04 (I can't wait! Woohoo!)

Host Walt Posted June 18, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I will pass your request on to those who can address it. In the meantime, use raudacruise's suggestion to bypass the home page.

Seabee Posted June 18, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I agree with the annoyance not to mention the time to load on my Apple IIc. I also understand that the Web site is free and everybody needs to make a buck somehow. The problem is the folks around here are too cheap to purchase a subscription, so no need to keep asking. My gosh, we whine about having to pay a buck 50 for a coke! ****************************************************** With Compassion for others we build...we fight for peace and freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealberk Posted June 18, 2004 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Alternately you can get a pop-up blocker or use an alternate browser such as Mozilla. I was a bit confused as to what the poster was talking about until I realized that I have pop-up blockers everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Walt Posted June 18, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Mozilla can work, but be sure you don't block your ability to post replies. Walt Tuthill Cruise Board Moderator Contact at Shiptender@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raudacruise Posted June 18, 2004 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2004 No problem fellow buckeye. Keep in mind if they do ever replace "Infopoop" the link might break. George & MaryBeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgnova Posted June 19, 2004 #11 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Actually, I set icons on my desktop to the pages I read most frequently -- even to the last page of certain threads that I check very regularly. To go from one to another of my "regulars," I just minimize what I'm reading and then click on the next icon. Or I back out by clicking on (say) Cruise Lines "A - O" and then on the next page I want to check out. I seldom look at the home page except when I have a lot of time available and, as someone noted, want to see what's new. There are ads on the pages I read anyhow, but not popups, so I avoid at least some of the distraction and delay. I use IE on the desktop (primarily because I haven't converted the default to Mozilla -- yet) and Mozilla is the default on the laptop, though IE is available if I need it. George, thanks for the reminder that the link might break. Quite right. I've accumulated so many at various times that I do have to update sometimes.

I seldom have any problems with wanted pop-ups not popping up but it has confused me once or twice. You can tell Mozilla to allow pop ups from selected web sites so if you want pop ups and don't get them, all you have to do is tell the program.

Brahmama Posted June 19, 2004 #15 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have all the message boards that I'm interested in bookmarked, BUT! If you want to read neat things like the Virtual Cruise that's being updated daily, you can only find it on the home page. The thing I like the best about the Virtual cruise is that it is a realistic review - touches on the strengths and the weaknesses that every cruise DOES have! Keep 'em coming.
