Pop box advertisement blocking screen

If you don't want to buy the Premium Membership, just click on "No thanks" at the bottom right. 

I don't see a "no thanks" box either.

Its a shame that memberships cannot be purchased with a money order.

Yeah, I agree C.W.  I'm really not to keen about someone having my cc# for an automatic renewals.  My subscribtion is due for renewal now and I'd like to try the premium membership but?.

If you have ever purchased anything on-line from Amazon.com or any of the other major internet retailers, your credit card number is being stored on their computers. I can understand your concern, but we are not unique in handling the on-line transaction this way.

 

Besides, you're missing out on a lot of great reading at the OGR Digital Library. And we've got iPad, iPhone and Android apps in the works. They should roll out in about 2-3 weeks.

When I saw it pop up it wasn't immediately obvious to me either.  Almost looked like it was displayed with that Windows 7 feature that lets you see through what you are looking at to see what is behind it (though I'm having brain freeze as to what that feature's technical name is at the moment). 

Problem is, that made it really hard to notice the "No Thanks" selection.

The term is "transparency" and I don't like it either.

 

I would prefer to make the "No Thanks" a little more prominent, but I don't have any control over that. This is an image that Hoopla uses for all Hoopla forums and I can't change it.

Seems the "No Thanks" button has now been removed.

 

Not a huge deal though, a reload seems to clear it.

 

 

 

The "No thanks." button is still there. 

 

I don't know what that screen grab is supposed to be, but whatever it is, the pop-up doesn't look ANYTHING like that! Your computer is not displaying it properly.

You can use a prepaid credit card if you do not want your regular credit card on file.

Or get a one-time-use only number from your bank.

Sorry, false alarm due to Internet Explorer anomaly, I guess.  The computer I was using had some Firefox issues for a few weeks, so I reverted involuntarily, forgetting IE doesn't always fully play nice with the forum (though most of the forum looks fine).  They seem to have finally fixed my Firefox install, so I'll try to get in the habit of using FF again.

 

I didn't mess with the screen shot, so you'll have to trust me that it did look exactly like that on IE (I think it's 9, but I'm on a different computer now, so I can't check).

 

No problem, Dave. I thought it might have been an Internet Exploder issue.

I had the same experience.

 

But I found the 'No Thanks' button...

 

By scrolling down the pop-up.

 

I think the issue is really that, for most of us, these pop-ups have a dump button in the first screen...we're not used to having to scroll down a pop-up to find the dump button.

 

Just a thought.

Pretty sure I did try scrolling before hitting Refresh, but I could be mistaken.

When I try to move the cursor to the "NO THANKS" button, the pop-up just keeps sliding down, preventing me from hitting it. It's a great little video game, "try to hit the button" but I'm not interested in playing games, and I am not amused. Can't you put the "NO THANKS" button in some other part of the pop-up, so it's easier to access?

 

I was only able to hit it, finally, by realizing that I could *JUST* get the cursor on its very top edge.

 

Pop-up window is all done at the Hoopla server. There is nothing I can do to change it.

Mine does the same thing.Just refresh the page and it goes away.
