Let me guess, you are getting the popup blocker thing on the top too? Glad to know it is not just my computer.

Seriously, if any of us wanted to see Jersey Boys, we would have done so by now.

Yeah, I have them blocked so I just keep getting the notification, but it's just such a ..... regressive thing to do, isn't it? "What can we do to bring our website into the late 20th century? I know! Pop-ups!"

I still don't get why their mobile site is called "BWW Wireless," but that's for another thread, I guess. One that I won't be accessing from their "wireless" site.

I can't even pretend to know how these things work, but I assume it's a simple matter of revenue. I wonder, though, if enough people stop visiting as frequently, would the dropping 'page hits' lead the ad sellers to not make them available?

I would think at this point anyone who is even remotely savvy would have blocked the pop-ups. It's just funny that they are introducing them so late in their tenure.

I have them blocked, but keep getting that bar that pops up to tell me they've been blocked - and when it does, I end up clicking on something above what I intended.

I clicked on the Leap of Faith opening video and got the Jersey Boys thing.

Firefox's pop-up blocker has a choice that says something like "Stop seeing these notices when pop-ups are blocked on this site."

I have pop-ups blocked. I didn't get the yellow bar at the top. I simply clicked on the picture for Leap of Faith and got the pop-up instead. But I do remember that at first I clicked on the text below the picture and got the pop-up. I went back and clicked on the video picture and got the video.

I just removed BWW from by pop-up permissions.

It is as though BWW is trying to get people to go elsewhere.

Thanks for the headsup, PJ.

Now if I could get someone to tell me how to make the "wireless" site usable.

Thanks PalJoey. Internet Explorer has the same option as well.

I still haven't forgiven Jersey Boys for winning the Tony over The Drowsy Chaperone, and now this?

You want to talk about BWW Wireless?

It sucks.

I recently downloaded it onto my Droid and every time I rotate my phone, it sends me back to the home page.

So I don't use it. :P

Yeah, I can make about one pass on the "wireless" site (isn't wireless how I route my internet at home? Shouldn't it be Broadway World Mobile?) before it dumps me back on the regular web page.

It's not the Droid, it's the BWW.

I have the main board for the mobile site bookmarked so I can get back to that format. Not a permanent fix, but it does make it easier.
