I understand the pop up.

However, the sign-up should not take me away from the article. I mean, putting in my email took me to another page in the same tab (not a new one). Also, The landing page post-giving-you-my-email gave me another sign-up pop up. Both these things are super annoying.

Content is good though.

Ug, we've been having a lot of problems with our new popup plugin. Once you're signed up, it should turn off all popups. Maybe you're blocking cookies, or it didn't take effect yet.

I agree it would be better to take you back to where you were reading, it's a lot more complex to set up though.

It isn't any harder than saving the current url to a cookie and redirecting to that value afterwards.
Hey thenobsta, that's a good point about it redirecting you to another page. I'll discuss it with our tech guy tomorrow.
