Sounds a bit sketchy to me. Three reviews from "Priya S"? Hmm.

That's a very thorough review. Thanks, @lynnmosher

Westee, sounds rather sketchy to me as well.

You're welcome, Johne!

Lots of suspicious companies I see.

Anyone heard of Dorrance Publishing? I just heard about them in a newspaper. Supposedly they were started in 1920. Some sort of self-publishing company based in America, it appears.

 

[lynnmosher]

Dorrance is a BIG NO-NO! Run the other way!

I can't read the article. Popups keep coming up and covering it. Is that something on my computer?

It must be because when I used a different browser, it didn't happen. So I will have to figure out what happened to Firefox.

 

[lynnmosher]

Hmmm...that's strange. I have Firefox and I didn't get any popups. Was it maybe for subscribing?

 

[carolinamtne]

No, it was a "Don't leave yet" screen.

At Firefox's suggestion, I refreshed it instead of deleting the browser, and that seems to have solved the problem. Whew! I didn't want to switch to one of the big name browsers.

 

[lynnmosher]

Ahhhh! One of those. Glad you got it fixed.

Have you tried Brave? I think they are supposed to be one of the better browsers.

No, I haven't tried Brave, but I have been happy with Firefox.
