Winnipegsun.com has recently added even more of reason to drive people away from the website. Bad enough when they switched a little while ago to the new website that constantly flips between the tabs and sometimes makes it impractical to navigate properly.. Now the numbnuts have recently added this cute little way of raising money by slapping a popup add to the bottom of the page that causes the entire page to refresh and take you back to the top.

1) go to winnipegsun.com
2) page starts to load...most links are up and active and you an even scroll the page.
3) DUMBASS ADVERTISEMENT adds to the bottom of the page and causes the whole page to refresh and scroll back to the top.

Not fun at all when you attempt to click a link just as it refreshes so you go some where else.

Not fun at all when you click one of the news stories.. then click back to go back to the home page.
I am not bothering to send them an email because when they first put up the new website the email address for tell us what you think.. did not actually work and was returned as invalid.. and then when it finally stopped returning as invalid they never responded to emails.. with even a we got your letter email.

winnipegsun.com.. seriously.. can you go screw yourself for a while and when you are finished maybe come back and respect the viewer of your website instead of simply believing the lead developer of your website when she/he tells you something is good?

I had the same opinion when they first started to appear. I believe you also need to hit the close button twice to make them go away.

That said at least they appear at the bottom. The Free Press had annoying pop up ads that appeared in the middle of the screen. And I'm a logged-on paid subscriber!

You respect their need to advertise but they need to find the least obtrusive and minimize the annoyance factor.
