really, I do understand that this is one way to make money but to do it to the level that you (NH) does is unbelieveable..there are so many ways to get local news anymore. I only come here if the story can't be found anywhere else.
Really need to heed the voice of the people over this one!!!

No other site I visit is so annoying!

I agree and I find myself visiting the site less and less.

I agree. Those pop-up ads are ridiculous & obnoxious. You can't even read what's behind it. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get rid of one. I will not honor annoying ads that blatantly cover up what you're trying to read!

I agree also. Plus have you noticed that an article that could easily be read on one page takes two or thrree pages so you have to look at even more ads? It is getting totally rediculous. I understand the need for advertising to offset the website cost but this is getting old really quick.

I agree completely--too many pop-ups.

I used to use this site alot, but now am rarely here as the pop up and all of the crap fly at you in your face annoying ads make the site an headache and eyesore. Be prepared for a lawsuit if you intend people to keep visiting as they will develop eye issues due to the poorly designed and annoying site you have turned this into, cancelled my papaer subscription, now cancelling my web viewing as well, so long old News Herald...

I agree why do the articles have to be on 2,3,4,5 pages???? It is awful to navigate and since there are so many advertisements it takes forever to load.

I Agree...VERY ANNOYING

Im done with the news-herald..... the adds and pop-ups just keep getting worse.

Totally agree. Is the newspaper that hard up financially that they have to sell these horrendous ads that annoy valuable readers? Seriously, is there no end to how far the NH will go to make money?

Agreed, Ridiculous number of pop-ups. Really annoying!

WORST site for mobile. Get a good mobile app and I'll start coming here more often.

We discussed this several months back and all of a sudden a got a message from an admin. who basically said "Well, seems like there's no resolution so we are closing this blog". Good to see that it was re-visited again. It is the way of the world now. Someone needs a job so they get a job in sales for the NH and their only goal is to sell as much advertising space as possible. That;s all fine and dandy, but when you don't have any more happy visitors you think companies will continue to pay for ad space> there has got to be some sort of happy medium. Find a way to make the news (which is why we are here in the first place) easy to read and access and find a place to put the ads that are not annoying to us readers.

I understand that the site is free but the pop-ups are annoying beyond the point of obnoxious. Please at least let us who subscribe to the NH see the site without advertising harassment. Us bloggers help the paper by acting as reviewers and giving immediate feed-back. The News-herald and News-herald.com is really disappointing in so many aspects, but it's still our best source for consistent local daily news. Otherwise we would never tolerate this crap. For god sake have some dignity. Please, stop the pop-ups.

AMEN to that....I hate hate hate looking on here...it is a joke..maybe they just dont care

my days of this website and subscribing to the News Herald are at the end. The newspaper is a decent respository of local news but these pop up ads and the worse yet, Undertone make the website absolutely worthless

Look for an app called "Ad Block Plus", which works for most browsers. I've used this for years, and I've never seen a pop-up on The News-Herald site.

it's bad. My system hangs until the bar comes up on the bottom, making this site unusable.

i KNOW THE ADS PAY FOR THIS SITE, BUT THE POP-UPS ARE ANNOYING TO SAY THE LEAST. MY NEIGHBOR HAS STOPPED READING THIS SITE BECAUSE OF THE POP-UPS AND I AM ABOUT TO.

DICK FROM CHARDON

I agree, the one that consistently pops up in the lower left corner locks my system up and I cannot get rid of it. No one is readying these, get rid of them

yes it crashes my comp all the time

tHIS IS THE WORST NEWS SITE FOR POP UPS

GET IT TOGETHER ALREADY READ MY BUSH NO MORE POP UPS

I will not buy anything from the companies that have pop ups here

I agree, I just counted 23 different ads on the NH front page. That doesn't include the 3 different pop ups in different corners. I mean come on NH since your goal is to annoy the heck out of your customers you might as well go the distance and get all 4 corners covered with popups.

I think some of you are correct when saying do not do business with any of the companies on this site and let them know the reason behind it.

Hi all,

SeeClickFix is a platform where citizens can report specific non-emergency issues and engage in constructive conversation that focuses on the identification, prioritization, and ultimate resolution of problems in the public space (potholes, graffiti, damaged infrastructure, etc). This issue, however, does not seem like it can be easily resolved through our site and would benefit from being discussed on another platform, or by contacting the newspaper directly. We've archived this issue and it will be closed for further comments.
