Re: RedHat popup advert

I'm not certain RH has any say in how the popup is handled. I know they should (almost certainly) control the size of the ad, however.  Unfortunately, BS like that is an unfortunate event in online advertising.  I'd install an ad-blocker just to prevent any ads since you have vision issues.  Not exactly the best way to support a product/service/company you want to support, but it will cut down on the crap ads like that one.

Hi, guys,
I was just looking at some links as I do everyday, and came across this one:

Where a popup advert for RedHat popped up and covered more than one third of the page.  Moreover, the close X was on the right top margin and quite small.  I have vision issues, and it took me some time to find and close that ad so I could read the article.  It's shameful for a high technology company like RedHat to resort to such tactics.  Because we Fedora folks are supporting RedHat, it is also a bit of a reflection on us as well.  Please guys, let them know that this is not good.  At least put the X where it belongs, but better still, no popup ads!!!

Regards,
Les H
