Technical Support and Feedback - Coupon Connection advisory popup? [NOW DISABLED PER IB TECH STAFF]

Coupon Connection FAQ / Guidelines (You are expected to read and be familiar with before posting!).

I was not clicking the forum for coupons but kept getting this page. :confused:

Me too.

I also got it when trying to access CommunityBuzz forum. When I tried reading the CommunityBuzz forum when not logged in, I kept getting this pop-up, and no matter how many times I answered in the affirmative and clicked ok, it wouldn't go away.

This issue has come up for me too- and here I thought I was becoming part of the 'in crowd.'.

Using Opera 12 web browser.

I, unfortunately too - even when I try to navigate away from this page :rolleyes:

But now the site appears to be working normally?

Same here.

Trying to get to Travelbuzz, and got redirected to some page that was forcing me to agree to some terms and conditions for Coupon Connection. And it refused to let me go anywhere else until I had agreed to those conditions.

I'm not the least bit interested in Coupon Connection. Never even looked at it. I don't see why I should suddenly have to agree to terms and conditions for something I have no intention of using.

need to fix this...

just agree to whatever it said and be done with it

Same here, what's going on?
I can't even remember the last time I went into CC.
Problem persisting both sign-in and not

I can click though once I agree.
It is not popping up after I do that.

even after I clicked I agree, the same message keeps on popping up so I'm not able to access the main board of all the forums...

Clicking I agree and then Submit seems to have "fixed" the problem for me.

even after I clicked I agree, the same message keeps on popping up so I'm not able to access the main board of all the forums...

Same here.

Received a very odd disclaimer notice from 'Coupon Connection' in order to access this area of the site.

Is everyone else seeing this? Is it a bug in FT?

Putting in this area of the site since it seems to be the primary/only one impacted.

I've got it, too.

I got it too...perhaps I've qualified for some hidden section?

I only saw half on my phone and clicked agree. I hope I didn't mess up

I am also getting the Coupon Connection dialog box. Had to click several times in different places before I could access this thread, still can't access the Miles&Points forum without seeing the dialog.

+1. What's that all about?

Same problem. Can't get to Miles and Points. Everything leads to CC message!?!?

Hi all,

This is (I think clearly) an error. The popup is designed to come up when you visit Coupon Connection, so that you agree to the TOS of that forum before you can read or post there -- but apparently when it was turned on this afternoon it appeared across all forums instead.

We'll get this sorted. Meantime, it has been disabled.

Thanks guys,

Paul

I got it, as well.


My guess:

It was meant to only show up when people click on CC, but everyone is not getting it by accident. Or, there was no way to make it only for CC, so everyone gets it regardless of where they click.


It seems like a high percentage of CC posts are exactly what they say are banned, but maybe I am not reading the FT legalese correctly.

Was there a technical malfunction that caused this thread to be created in the MR Discussion forum? The proper place for such queries is the Technical Issues forum which is where I'll move this thread.
