Is it just me, but I keep getting these irritating drop downs for Stella. On balance I'd prefer it it was AVI (oops!)


Given the length of this thread, it clearly isnït just you. All of us are experiencing it.

Re: Stella pop ups.....................bah humbug!!!

It's such nuisance that I didn't visit the site for last two days and today I am posting this message and  logging off, I did posted day befor yesterday on this topic which was witch fully deleted by moderator so that means they do support this company.

 For now onwards I am complely bouycotting this Stella product and would urge all reader to do the same and support me so that next year we done have to go through same agony. This will be a good lesson for this company who doesn't abide by cyber ad guidelines.

Also I am sorry to say WHF marketing dept is completely irresponsible and insensitive to users feelings and deserve a hate from all of use who are almost barred from reading/visiting the site.

 I am off again will try in two days, if this nuisance doesn't go then I will never logon to WHF site and would request  site admin to delete my account.

It wasn't deleted- it was merged with this thread already running on the subject (it's loud and proud at post 3 on page 4); a thread that clearly also states the hateful ads will be gone after today. Hoo-rah!

Hate is such a strong word, dontcha think? I love our ad ops department, they're very lovely people.

If it pops up on me I find that clicking on "close" tends to have the effect I want.

As much as I love WHFSV, as much as I dislike the 'rollover' ads. Team, keep the ads, but please, please don't let them 'rollover'.

We don't get to choose, I'm afraid. But as stated earlier, I'm going to start testing all ads to make sure they follow our standards, which if I recall includes a 'rollback' (so to speak).
