Please,please,please get rid of that annoying popup asking me what language I would like.
Asking once is enough. Asking multiple times one a single visit is just plain rude!
To say its annoying is an understatement.
Are you blocking all cookies? If so, this is why it's popping up. It's only ever popped up once for me, and is meant as a service to the international users who'd like to be taken straight to their localized version of the site each time they visit =)
Clearing cookies or blocking cookies will do that. Alternatively, you could simply visit the www.tomshardware.com/us URL and you should never get the popup.
Pop ups are never a solution to any problem. Pop-up blockers are almost as old as the pop up for a reason.
Most other sites that need to be "international" choose a main language and offer a selection tool (often visually indicated by country flags) to select another language.
Honestly, I am surprised that I have to point out that pop-ups are universally disliked and a sure road to annoy your visitors. Does this really need to be explained?
