Oh boy I had to laugh. Next time just laugh hysterically. It makes them feel stupid
@Hooked I’m pretty sure for Vape King, they only state “someone purchased x y z 2 hours ago” and not the actual name of the person or area? In which case it isnt so bad. Though I completely understand where you’re coming from, and why it’s something you don’t like. For me, I don’t mind it so much but as you said, it’s less obvious pin pointing who the person is when you live in a bigger place. I believe the psychology behind it (and sure, I could be completely wrong here since I’m no expert) is to help secure the vendor’s potential sales - for example, if a person is debating whether or not to buy an item, and they suddenly see the pop up “David in Pretoria just bought a Voopoo Too” (and that happens to be the item they are considering buying) chances are they’re going to start wondering how many are left, and they’ll probably cave and buy it. Another example is if a person is only browsing with nothing particular in mind, their eyes may wonder over to the pop up and they may see someone bought something that sounds interesting. They’ll inevitably click on it to view it, and there’s another potential sale.
I’m waffling now though.
I totally get that it’s annoying for many.

I'm not very fast...but you'd better put a little extra in your step as you walk away...
It's 1 of Shopifies free add ons and that's also exactly the intent.@Hooked I’m pretty sure for Vape King, they only state “someone purchased x y z 2 hours ago” and not the actual name of the person or area?

@Carnival Gosh you're right - I've just had a look at Vape King's website and I've removed that part of my post. Thanks so much for pointing out my error! Next time I see my name being mentioned I'll make a note of who the vendor is.

The rules and regulations of this forum, especially that a vendor is not allowed to reply to a comment,about their vape shop or product, in a general thread. They're allowed to reply only if the thread is in their forum.
Here's an example of what happened recently. In the thread about Bling, I tagged Bling and asked for a response about the juice section being down. I forgot that I'm not allowed to do that and that Bling is not allowed to reply. Why not - because it's a general thread and it's not in Bling's sub-forum.
We're discussing Bling's products. We're asking Bling for a response. Bling is not allowed to reply.
Is that logical?
EDIT: It's not possible to ask Bling in their sub-forum (although it would be a nuisance to have to leave the thread in order to do so) since they are not a registered vendor on the forum. This, if one wishes to communicate with Bling, one must either send a PM, or contact them through their Facebook page.

Theres some irony in the whole situation.
The guy that knows nothing of vaping calls it a bluff. Not worth even arguing about it.
Gosh is that 3 vapers including Derek and his wifeTechnically I “know” all 3 then...we need to have a marketing campaign in Yzer for vaping as a whole!

I am not afraid to say "idiot/I D I OOOT/idjit", "moron" or "cretin" out loud, it is a reflex reaction, it just comes out, even at a Twisp Kiosk
Absolutely agree - not sure if it was meant to encourage buyers to buy more, but it has the opposite effect for me.

Lol!!!! I'd yell out what a f#cking w@nker!
@Jp1905 I don't know Derek but I've chatted briefly to him on FB. I forgot that his wife vapes which changes things dramatically. I now count FOUR vapers here!
Exactly what I'm talking about!
Can not agree more. I can in fact physically not deal with such an over active page. The popup alone is not too much but one of our vendors has every possible available add-on active on his page. The popup, social media link block covering up what Im trying to look at, chat to us link doing the same on the other side of the page and worst of all, wcrolling text in the search bar. Seriously, these distractions and obstructions can not be good for business. They are certainly the reason I have never baught from them.

Agreed. And the vendors should leave an option for those who want to disable them - it will make a world of difference
My problem is trying to look at some of their websites on your phone. The page is so cluttered with all the crap that it is impossible to read.
In a shop. What are you doing here? Hunting elephants. Duh.
And smartasses who think they know everything and suck a theory out of nowhere that doesn't even make sense.
A friend of mine (non-vaper) Whatsapped me today, to inform me that she's heard that vaping is going to be banned in public and that I should stop vaping. The govt. knows what it's talking about, she said. I replied, "I vape. End of discussion." End of friendship too, probably!
LOL some people just don't know when to mind their own freaking business.
Amazing that the govt only knows what they talk about when they say the things you want to hear. Suppose thats their only purpose. Say the right things to get the votes.
