I totally agree with no pop ups in the news letter sign up. But why is there a Bold Brush pop up when a person attempts to subscribe to an artist's newsletter? When I click subscribe for a news letter I expect a brief welcome pop up that asks me to check my emails to confirm. With FASO the first pop-up has three paragraphs with boxes already checked off and another subscribe button. Then a second pop-up from the artist with another, in red, â?click to subscribe', and when you click this one, another pop-up tells you you are already subscribed. Now in a state of frustration you click the -back to web siteâ which takes you to artist.faso.com and a red line through the lock. So if you were still thinking of going back to the site to make a purchase and you see the red line through the lock that is a final deal breaker. I had a client test my sign up. She asked why she had to double subscribe. Then the next morning she received an art work alert and two Bold brush emails. She felt she'd been spammed and said normally they would have all gone into the spam folder. And if she didn't know me really well, she would no longer trust me. I contacted support and asked that the BoldBrush pop up be removed. They said they couldn't do this and the client needs to uncheck the boxes. My potential clients are almost all extremely busy, asking anyone to read 3 paragraphs and uncheck boxes, just to subscribe to a newsletter just doesn't work for me. I feel the same way when I'm trying to subscribe to another artist's newsletter. And I have to uncheck all the boxes because I'm already subscribed to them. Could BoldBrush possibly offer a stream lined version of â?subscribe'? Or do I need to use an outside email like mail chimp, and if I do this and integrate it into my site will I be avoiding the pop ups? Or can I pay to have support do a clean simple subscribe for me? I can't ask my clients and potential clients to subscribe until this problem is fixed. Everything else about my web site and newsletter is wonderful and I'm extremely great full for the wonderful support and great site. (I've been with FASO almost since the beginning, except for one year where I foolishly decided to make my own site).
