I’m subscribed to FWW, an Unlimited Member, etc. And yet…very often, when I first travel to the FWW website, I am still blasted with a pop-up box trying to get me to subscribe. According to the menu bar, I’m logged in when that appears (auto log-in), and so there’s no good reason which I can discern for that to be happening. Yet it does.
Aaarggh!

Happens to me too. It takes a millisecond to click on the "x" in the upper right-hand corner. Same with the survey request that pops up constantly. Just part of life in 2022 I suppose
Try setting up your web browser to block pop-ups and also install an ad-blocker.
I don't get the pop-up (no idea whether it's maybe my browser or adblock or whatever else stopping it), but I do constantly have a "subscribe" button at the top right of the screen, which can be disconcerting, as my first instinct is always to question whether my subscription may have lapsed (it hasn't) and it is inviting me to do so again. Suspect the site isn't properly cross-referencing subscription status when it determines what content to display and how. Minor annoyance, but would be great to see it fixed!
Edited to add: a flipside of this is that should my subscription expire, I'm possibly more likely to unthinkingly dismiss requests to renew it, on the basis that there's no correlation between seeing them and my actual subscription status, so I'm just conditioned to ignore them. Yet a pop-up or big orange button at that point *would* be a helpful reminder. Crying wolf and all that...
I'm just going to put this out there.
I hear you, I understand, and I agree. Let me bring it back up with the dev team.
same thing
Same as well. Annoying. If Ben can get it fixed, that would be great.
