LOL Arjay. Suffice to say that the Toshiba seems somewhat more priapic than its owner. Agreed about the survey - though I think it's the same one I responded to months ago...

Damned thing's still popping up like a 14 year-old on his first date :O

Yes, it was popping up on me earlier this afternoon and I sent an email off to the agent, along with the address for this thread. It's a weekend, so realistically I don't expect anything to change until Monday at the earliest, but I will be on the case.

It has not gone away for me, it has popped up without fail with every page I open, 3 or is it 4? just to get here.
Can it be others are using it than those who first did?
gun shy about such in future.

CJMorgan,

I was initially a little mystified as to your problem with the pop-up OLO survey, as I did not think I was experiencing it.

Then the penny dropped.

For some months now there has been what I took to be an advertisment on OLO being blocked by Firefox on my computer. Perhaps it is the survey pop-up! Here is a screenshot of what I intermittently see (or not, as the case may be) in the bottom right hand corner on various OLO pages: http://www.twitpic.com/1en4kc

I recall that I answered some of an OLO survey's questions some months ago, if that could have been the one now in question as an intermittently recurrent pop-up annoyance.

When you are on the 'Welcome to the Forum' page, if it happens to be displaying, this (blocked) pop-up partially obscures the 'Users currently on line' and 'Newest users' displays, an obscuration that cannot be overcome by scrolling, nor by clicking a 'close' button as when blocked there is no 'close' button showing.



It would be good if it could be made to go away.



I sometimes wonder whether or not there are 'back doors' to the OLO site and software potentially able to be used by person or persons unknown to tweak how OLO operates or siphon off site-statistical information. The sometimes seemingly eratic premature falling of the red post-recency flags on the index pages being a possible example of such activity.

A reasonable conspiracy, don't you think?

Well at least it has gone GYs e mail seems to be the reason well done.
