What's up with this pop-up survey asking me about candy bars every time I log-in? I've filled it out 3 times and it still pops up. Anyone else getting this?

Could you send me a screenshot? We can have ads removed, and it sounds like perhaps some rogue ad is misbehaving. I've never seen that.

Here it is @iacas. Obviously if this is adding revenue to you guys then I can deal with it lol...just thought I'd see if anyone else was getting these.

I don't think it's coming from us. You're using IE? What version? Can you paste the URL for the "ad" in here?

I've filed a support ticket to have it removed if it is indeed coming from us.

You were right, it was a browser issue. I switched to G-Chrome at work, no pop-ups now. Thanks for your help. If you still want the URL I can send it tomorrow at work (I use Mac at home and don't have to worry about these silly PC issues ;-) ).

Interesting. My in laws went to Kenya and Nigeria last year but they never mentioned the unavailability of candy bars. Bummer for you! When are you getting back? Hopefully before the Masters! ;) P.S. Go MSU!!! ;)

You bastard. UDel might not make it back for years! Thanks to your post, I've just made the executive decision to take UD over Michigan State. Suck it, Spartans!

LOL ... and I was only giving you crap because of your facebook declaration!

BTW, I have the Izzo's going to the elite eight ... and then losing to eventual champion Iowa State.  (I don't know anything about basketball this year except that UCLA looked damn good in the Pac-12 tournament)

Yeah we've established that it's Internet Explorer. I think it has something to do with the ads for Milky Way at the top right.

If you do have an issue with recurring/suspicious ads, or "adware", you can always uninstall IE which will default you to the version that was packaged with your Operating System. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates. Right-click on IE and uninstall. The next time that you open IE, you should be prompted to update your version of IE or you can simply manually install the update by going to Microsoft's download center. Just an FYI. This is usually the easiest way to remove unwanted ads, addons, toolbars, etc. without downloading additional third-party anti-adware/malware software.

I use Google Chrome and get this too. I disabled my pop up blocker. Other than having to close it out, it really doesn't bother me.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
