I'd suscribe but...

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Every time I log on to the Allnurses site and see the "one time" pop-up window inviting me to suscribe to the e-zine I am tempted. I like the forum offerred here and I have met some very nice folks. Many of the postings have answered questions of my own.

I'd suscribe to the e-zine if only I didn't get all the spam that would follow.

I inquired online a few months ago (to the lending tree.com) about refinancing my mortgage and STILL get a ton of spam about loans available, credit cards ect...

I can already see the junk mail coming in if I suscribe. Is there anyplace I can read the e-zine archives without suscribing?

Thanks,

Russell

Since we are on the topic. Can't we stop the pop-up! It says if you click here you will never see it again but I always click it and it always pops back up!:confused:

Roachell, is it possible that you have cookies disabled? If you're not accepting cookies, then the site may not remember that you've answered their question before.

1.)I've never gotten any spam from them; and I have 2 e-mail accounts: one personal and one nursing- related.

2.)Roachell, my son purposefully removed my cookie feature from my iMac; not only is it disabled, but it just isn't there anymore. After working with Brian and the annoying pop-up, I found that the easiest thing to do is just click on this screen first, then the pop-up stays on but it is behind everything else and I don't see it. The pop-up is happy, I'm happy, and Brian's not bugged by me anymore; it works. My son got rid of the cookies because of the fact that he felt there is too much personal information being given out by cookies on the Internet and this is a way to cut down on that.

I think i have a program that you might like. It is called popup killer.

I downloaded it a while ago and it will eliminate almost all popup windows from all sites. Here is the link.

http://software.xfx.net/utilities/popupkiller/index.html

If you decide to try it, there is a menu on the left. Click on download and then click on PopUp Killer 1.4.

Hope you like it as much as i do.
