BDEchols Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Pop Ups" 07-08-01, 19:15z  Now that the beta testing is nearing the end for VPC I highly reccomend that the use of the pop-up window be discontinued. Although it seems a useful tool, most of us who use the internet consider it an abomination. That is mainly because 99% of pop-ups are unrequested advertisements. When going to a site I like to see a well-constructed home page with all desired links cleary presented. I do not need a web master telling me what I must see before the home page is even fully loaded. Just a thought, but I hate pop-ups, even if of an informative manner.

Perhaps we should move this conversation to the VPC BETA forum? Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

BDEchols Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Pop Ups" 07-08-01, 20:35z  I find no reason to move this to a private forum. When I go to VPC and choose to enter the site, I am force fed a pop-up called Notams. A well designed home page should have no need of such mechanisms. I kind of feel like the goose that is fed by a funnel to produce Foie Gras. Most professional web sites find no need for such forced content. I think I am capable of choosing which portions of your site I choose to read without it being forced down my throat. Not to say all pop-ups are bad, but 99% of them produce uninvited advertisements. Extensive use of them takes away my right to choose, even if they are used in pure innocence and of an informative nature. Pop-ups might have started out as a good idea, but their use has been corrupted as a delivery method for ads. Barry Echols Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Ben Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: Pop Ups" 07-09-01, 00:59z  ____________________ Hi Barry: I started a thread in the public VPC Beta forum entitled pop-ups. As far as I can see, this is a site issue and not a general or aviation subject. Hope to see your continued comments there. Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
