So yeah, great magazine. I have the digital edition and I'm really enjoying it. That's not my primary concern.
Getting subscriber access to your website was a confusing pain that took way longer than it should have, but that's not my primary concern, either.
My primary concern is that your marketing people will not leave me alone! I'm getting tons of "PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!" spam e-mails. Every page load seems to get me a "PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!" pop-up. There's a "PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!" banner across the bottom, or sometimes middle, of my page. People, I already flippin' subscribed, but I'm not going to do it again if you don't stop bothering me.
My subscription runs out next July. Please let marketing know that I'm open to discussing a renewal next June, but not before. And keep up the great work on the excellent magazine.
But, But, they only want to show you how much they care for your business

Building the perfect model---just not quite yet
This website is free to us, but not to FSM. I will bear a little distraction gladly in order to keep this forum online.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
That's not really accurate.
There's free content on the website and it can be accessed by anyone. It's perfectly reasonable to spam advertisements at the non-subscribers surfing the free content. That's the entire point of having a free section - draw them in, impress them with the quality of the content, and convince them to become subscribers. I have no problem with any of that.
There's also subscriber-only content. It's NOT free. It's part of the package that I bought when I subscribed to the magazine. I don't appreciate getting spammed by irritating pop-ups while I'm trying to access the content that I paid to access.
I agree. Add me to the list of "highly annoyed" subscribers.
There must be a way they can separate the non-subscribers and direct their spam at THEM ONLY.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

me, too! for the third or fourth time. My subscription expires this month and I 'm not renewing.

Mediocraties - my favorite Greek model builder.
Hi guys,
I'm sorry that the promotional overlays have become an issue again. We're currently retooling how they are seen. Also, I think that due to some of the system maintenance we've undergone in the last couple of weeks, some of the promotions may have been reset to display to everyone rather than their intended targets. So, we're trying to clear that up, too.
The promos will not completely disappear. However, if you're a subscriber, you shouldn't see as many of them as many of you are reporting. Bear with us as we tweak the system.
Geezer, I'm sorry we're losing you as a subscriber. I hope you'll rejoin us sometime down the road.
Regards,
Tim

Don't sweat the small stuff
..and it is all small stuff. Tim, if you guys can get this fixed, I may reconsider. Being in IT and such since 1980, I can speak with a bit of experience - this should not be a tough thing to fix, if the marketing folks wanted it to be fixed. You populate the pop-ups with my information, so obviously the db that holds it is being accessed. We'll see.

Don't sweat the small stuff? Really? On a forum for model builders?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Very good, I like that
It's seemed much better the last couple of days. Is there credit due?
Cadet Chuck I agree. Add me to the list of "highly annoyed" subscribers. There must be a way they can separate the non-subscribers and direct their spam at THEM ONLY.
I don't particularly get annoyed at pop ups- that's life in the 21st. But there's one type I can't stand.
It appears at the bottom third of the text area of the screen and obscures the bottom posts. It cannot be made to go away without leaving the subject.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
No biggie for me. I just X it off and continue on.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
plastickjunkie No biggie for me. I just X it off and continue on.

Can't x it off if you are not a subscriber, as I am not.
It looks like the popup might be gone. I didn't see it just now, when I accessed the site.
I still get the dang things...
Shhhhh don't say it too loud, "they" may hear you and restart 'em
Sorry about you stikpusher
Yep, it's back today. Oh, well...
The other day I started getting a large pop up in the center of the screen in addition to the green line pop up at the bottom. Have to scroll around just to be able to get at the "X" to close it. Been a subscriber for quite a few years now and this is starting to get annoying. From what I've read, this can be fixed. How much longer will it take?

Main WIP:
On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II
I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
OK, now today, it didn't appear.
No popup for me today, either.
I get one per log on. I'm not complaining.
No popup again today. Building a winning streak here....
