BDEchols Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 8. "RE: Pop-ups" 07-10-01, 21:09z  I did not intend to make such a big issue about pop-ups in my original post. The use of pop-ups on the VPC site is done for informational purposes, and is very skillfully done. It is just that I hate pop-ups. On so many sites on the web the pop-up is used to sell you something. That unsavory use of the device still makes me flinch whenever I see one, as I instinctively feel I am being force fed an advertisement that I did not ask for. I was trying to relate the perception that a brand new visitor to VPC might have. That first impression on the initial entry to VPC can make or break the site. Simple and elegant would be my choice, without distractions. Many first-time visitors might not stick around long enough to figure out the pop-up has a noble purpose. I do suggest that you remove my posts from the General forum. I should have posted it in this beta thread. Barry Echols Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
