New logos.com: Too many popups!

Rosie Perera

All the links from the base package description pages bring up popups now: System requirements, Contents of base packages, New Contents, Endorsements, etc. It ends up leaving you with a clutter of open popup windows all over your screen. Here's a particularly annoying path: Go to any base package description page. Click "New Contents." A popup window comes up that has an Upgrade button on it. Click on that upgrade button. Another popup comes up on top of that! Egad! Poor design.

I hate popups.

I loathe popups.

Popups are the domain of spammers and purveyors of stuff I don't want.  

Please please please eliminate all popups.

Nothing has changed. It's been this way for a year.

We're looking into other ways to display this related content.

Actually, popups do have one definite advantage for small things like system requirements: they load at least 10 times faster than a new web page! 

So please don't replace them with new pages; either make one part of the present page expandable and collapsable, or make it work like a Logos panel with several tabs. Both of these methods load much faster than new pages.

I don't mind them at all. First, they don't pop up until you click on them (unlike spam, etc.). Second, they are quick. Third, you aren't redirected from the current page to another.

What's the fuss?

When I click on a link, I expect it to open in the current pane, no exceptions.  

If I want a new pane or anew window I center click or shift click to get it done.

Yes!  I agree!  Really?   What's the fuss?   They are quick.  Information available is easier to access.
