After you entered your email address, did you click on the red box that says "Subscribe now" ?

 

[lori5060]

yes i did because i have already received an email.

If you not having your login information saved, it probably thinks you are new. I know when I clear my cache, the same thing happens once, then I have it save my login information and I don't see it again.

Thanks for mentioning that. This is exactly what triggers the Mac-Forums Newsletter sign-up to display again. If you clear the browser cache...when you return to Mac-Forums again...it thinks it's your first time. If the cache is not cleared...then visits to Mac-Forums are "remembered"...and the pop-up will not reappear.

I just remembered, Onyx may also be clearing the cache. So if you use it, you want to disable that option.

No, it doesn't unless you specifically tell it to do so. But clearing the cache from Safari or any other browser will definitely cause Lori to show up as a new guest on our sign in page.
