Special Offer settings don't work

I have NAV 2011 version 18.6.0.29.

 

My settings are:

Settings > Miscellaneous Settings > Special Offer Notification > OFF

 

Yet I keep getting pop-up advertisements for new products.

 

Is there a "work-around" to stop the pop-ups?

 

Hi debs_gr8,

 

The types of notices you can receive fall into two categories:  those that are trying to sell you something completely new, and those that are meant to call your attention to something related to the use of your currently installed product that you might otherwise overlook.  The line of demarcation is a little bit gray, but the former are supposed to be blocked by setting the option to "Off" while the latter may still be seen once in awhile so you don't miss out on something tied into your current program.  See the following for more on this:

Hi debs_gr8,

 

Exactly what "pop-up advertisements" for new products are you getting?

 

You can also post a screen shot if desired. Please see this post if you are not sure how.

 

Best wishes.

No screenshot.  Sorry, I closed it out before I posted.

 

The last pop-up was something about protecting children on Facebook.

 

Silly me... I assumed the Special Offer settings would stop everything that wasn't mandatory about NAV (expiration, definition updates, problems found, etc.)
