Popups

Good news at least for me. The popups stopped the next day!

I stay logged in 100% of the time. If I need to do a computer reboot once in a while I will have to login. But I often stay logged in for days/weeks at a time

What is a popup?

Log out, and the little popup ad will appear in the lower right corner of your screen.

Understand. I was kidding about the popup thing. I haven't seen a popup on TBN now for years as I run an adblocker and stay logged in.

...I have checked the keep me logged in thing but it still kicks me off...

I don't save any cookies, and this is what happens. You have to re-login each time if you don't save cookies.

I do save my login and passwords (God knows, I would never remember them) so I don't have to type everything, I just hit the first letter and the rest pops-up.

We're testing the popup that promotes other pages on the site, only for logged-out users. There are numerous ads that appear when you're logged out but not logged in. In fact it's about 50% fewer ads when logged in than logged out.

We also have a completely ad-free app that we intend to keep ad free into the future so at the end of the day the logged out users will see more ads as a result of us prioritizing the registered user experience.

As for whether it will stay or not... early result says probably not but expect it'll run for another couple of weeks.

Obviously we're always balancing user experience versus ads and being completely free means the site will have ads. I continue to use the site daily on the app and logged in so I'm always going to avoid ads that completely ruin the experience.
