Pop-Up Mania - make it stop!!!!

dow — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 01:24:21 GMT

I am not usually a complainer, but I'm so tired of having to close out pop-up boxes just to see what I'm trying to see. Please stop!!!!!!! I don't want to X out of 3 boxes when I'm frantically trying to place an order when time is crucial. I don't need to see "Hurry, Going Fast!" I don't want to have to close out a box offering me 25% or whatever it is. I don't want to have to close out a video box that's in the bottom corner.

I can't be the only one frustrated by this.

If you check other threads on this subject there is some great advice on pop up blockers. They really work. I have to say, they don't bother me that much, perhaps it's because I have a touch screen and it takes a fraction of a second.

Again, if it is bothersome, install a pop-up blocker.

No, you are not the only one frustrated by it.

However, if you want to shop online anywhere, get used to it!

No online vendor going to change their marketing strategy.

Either get quick at clicking them off or get a blocker as suggested.

I have Adguard and get very few coming through. Those that do, take a nano-sec to click off.

I'm talking about QVC's own little boxes that I have to X out of. I don't mean external pop-up ads. This is when I am looking at ... whatever, a top of Susan Graver's. Half of my screen is covered up with a "Hurry, Going Fast" for the item I am trying to look at.

Is this what you are talking about, or are you thinking I meant regular internet pop-ups?

There is a way to stop QVC's own "Hurry, Going Fast" type things that are in my way when I'm trying to look at an item? I don't mean outside ads. I mean within QVC. ??
