    Popups

    I just want to say that the OS site is a great place to visit as a gamer that enjoys sports titles.

    What's the deal with the popup when you first visit the site though? It's bad enough that theres a popup, but one that tells you "congratulations your the one millionth" visitor everytime you visit is kinda sketchy.

    Am I wrong?

      Re: Popups

      LOL. That ticks me off, too. It sucks because I don't get pop-ups at any other site with Adblock enabled, just here. It's tolerable, but when I forget to turn down the sound it startles me a bit.

              It should only pop up once a day anyways. If you are getting them every time you come to the site, there are issues w/ your Cookies. You might want to try deleting your cookies, cache, etc. and see if the problem persists.

                              Exactly. I almost forgot there was such a thing as popups, as I have never had any with that combination.

                                  Yeah the only time I even see a popup is if I go on the internet at school. I don't see the banner ads or anything.

                                  If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                                          FF works great.

                                          The worst ad is the "congratulations" girl.

                                              That has to be the most annoying popup I've ever been subjected to. Especially if your volume is up. Her airhead, grating voice is enough to send you over the edge.

                                                  The other day while at work, I was producing a show and forgot to put the studio computer in cue as opposed to on-air. Well, during a commercial break, I was checking OS, and that pop up came on...and went over the airwaves. Needless to say, I got yelled at for browsing OS while producing a show.

                                                      Only because nothing more severe happened to you employment wise, that is fricking hilarious. I'd love to have seen the TV feed of what happened.
