Oh, BWW...

Tsk tsk tsk. Pop ups now? Really?
#2

Oh, BWW...

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

Oh, BWW...

Stubborn ones, too.
#4

Oh, BWW...

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

Oh, BWW...

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.

Oh, BWW...

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?
#7

Oh, BWW...

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.
#8

Oh, BWW...

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.
#9

Oh, BWW...

That's how they get you!
#10

Oh, BWW...

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

Oh, BWW...

Firefox's pop-up blocker has a choice that says something like "Stop seeing these notices when pop-ups are blocked on this site."
#12

Oh, BWW...

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.

#13

Oh, BWW...

I just removed BWW from by pop-up permissions.

It is as though BWW is trying to get people to go elsewhere.
#14

Oh, BWW...

Thanks for the headsup, PJ.

Now if I could get someone to tell me how to make the "wireless" site usable.
#15

Oh, BWW...

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

Oh, BWW...

Damn Jersey Boys....

Oh, BWW...

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

Oh, BWW...

Thanks, PJ!
#19

Oh, BWW...

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

#20

Oh, BWW...

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.
#21

Oh, BWW...

LOL Diva...same exact thing happens to me with my Droid. Its such an annoying glitch!

#22

Oh, BWW...

It's not the Droid, it's the BWW.
#23

Oh, 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.
