Just like all the times my thumb has stopped hurting when I dropped the hammer I hit it with right straight on my foot, I see that the publishers have listened to the complaints about the green banner at the bottom of the page and are taking our minds off it by adding a big red pop-up to look at. Let me guess: the new employment opportunity posting is for someone who can add annoying sounds to these things.
LION sees no red pop-up, and green thingie has been there so long LION notices it knot.
Green bean has thing to make it go away, but LION moves from site to site and back again, and if you come back again then it comes back again. Maybe it should be cookie driven, once dismissed it could stay gone.
Oh well, is not website of LION. You not like green ad, come to website of LION, him has no ads.

GOD, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
The red pop-up that appears in the middle of the screen has been there for some time. I clicked it into my pop-up blocker long ago and very rarely see it anymore.
[bow]
While this is a very used quote, here’s how I would re-write it:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage the change the things I can,
and
That I may NEVER know the difference.
Why you may ask? Because nothing good in this world was every done by someone who accepted things the way they were.
Don Quixote felt that way, too.
I feel deprived. [|(]
While my beloved green banner continues to occupy the lower portion of my computer screen, often preventing me from seeing the letters that I key in the message Rely box, I do not have a red pop up box as part of this visual delight. [+o(]
So, I am using this occasion to officially put Kalmbach on notice. [#dots]
Either you add the red pop up box to my screen, thereby increasing the sense of exhuberance that I feel each time that I switch between forum sections, or I will hire an attorney to commence litigation, forcing Kalmbach to include me with all of the other forum members who already benefit from this feature.

Is this message directed at our hosts? They should realize that one of the things they can’t change is the perpetual displeasure of us forum members about the Green Line.
I am continually amazed at the insignificant things that irritate people.

I clicked on this thread expecting to meet someone else who doesn’t clean out his refrigerator often enough
Mr.B:
I bet a great many people clicked on this thread out of curiosity about what it could possibly mean.
I know I did.
That would be Frankie Zstripe. [(-D]

Push the x and it goes away. Pop ups can be a problem as well requiring a click to get rid of. One thing I have gotten in the habit of is remembering the pop ups and not buying their products even if it means doing with out something. If a practice like this was to become wide spread they would stop being used.
The other side of that coin is to find the close button with out reading the ad and close it before it even registers in your mind, eliminating the benefit of tactics like that to attract business. When it stops working it will no longer be used in the business world.
The effort to get rid of them is small and reduces the cost of magazines.
I clicked the , just like you said, but the bottom of my screen was still there.
ROAR
I never see the green bars or pop ups, ever.
The secret is mine, I will never tell, because reading these threads is entertaining,
Yeah, maybe no green banner, but what about the red pop up???
