It is HIGHLY annoying to have your articles interrupted by "Sign Up" pop-up windows, esp. when I'm already signed up. There's no way to close the pop-up window, so I exit the web page. This is akin to what others, like the Weather Channel, do to induce upgrades. Instead of encouraging readership, you are alienating it. Please discontinue this bad-will practice.
Thanks for reading and for your input! The pop-up you referenced should have an x-out option in the upper right or left corner, and you also should be able to simply click outside the box to make it disappear. If neither of those is happening on your end, we'd like to know what browser you are using so that we can report this to our provider.
