I am getting an undismissable dialog prompting for an email address to spam. Is there supposed to be a way of closing it or is that website just that hostile?


sorry about that -- fixing it now. Just press escape or click in the menu "Java articles" and it will disappear


That fixed it, thanks. You already provide a way to subscribe at the bottom of the page though, and I would expect users only to consider subscribing after reading the article and finding it interesting; why not dispense with the dialog altogether? It is the kind of trick used by scam websites and annoys most users.


Took up your advice ;-) thanks for the feedback
