Just to add a couple of comments regarding things said above, and which I’ve stated on a previous thread about these pop-up ads.
First, and fairly important, I have no issues with adverts on this site, they really don’t bother me at all, which is why I’m not bothered about paying the subscription to be rid of them.
I AM bothered by pop-ups that render my chosen way of viewing the site totally unusable, by effectively locking my screen because the advert scales beyond the screen and will not respond to any attempt to clear it.
This is either crap design by the agency responsible, or deliberate, to ensure people have no choice but to be directed to the advert. I hope that’s not the case, but, having dealt with agencies in the past, I wouldn’t be too surprised…
Also, even after activating the Premier account kindly gifted me by Pick’n’mix, I was still getting the ads, although they did seem to have stopped after a while.
It does seem that the agencies producing these ads should have it firmly pointed out to them that their chosen business method is counter-productive, as evidenced by the number of threads they’ve spawned.
FWIW, I really like Tudor watches! I’d actually take the time to look at their site, too.
I just object most strongly to being forced to do so by such shitty ad creation.
That’s all.
