    I ticked the do not show again box and it disappeared

    but today I get a new offer for the same thing, but slightly cheaper:

    these are just the latest in a long line of spam marketing notices

    Xara, I do not wish to receive continual spam marketing information from you of any sort; I believe I am entitled to ask you to desist and that, having so requested, you are now obliged to ensure I do not receive it

    Pease desist forthwith

    I invite anyone else fed up with this to add their request to this thread

    Agreed, Steve, it is intrusive and unnecessary (and shabby) - after all, they are, for the most part, preaching to the converted.

    Dear MagiXara...

    If you haven't realised GDPR / Datenschutzerklärung might just apply here - big time (c.f., UK Consumer rights Act 2015).
    I include Xara, who claim Magix cover marketing, as the noticeboard is hosted by xara.com.

    Please look at https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...blocks-program urgently.

    spot the differences.. apart from the way it is described and the cut-off date I can see non whatsoever - same thing for same price.. same irritation factor, same 'no if i was going to update i would have done it by now' factor

    there should be a means of switching this out in the program UI or in privacy settings in my account [wait does it have privacy settings....]

    Steve, this is the Dear Xara section of TG. If you want a response from Xara, then you should post your query in the Dear Xar... (oops, sorry ).

    That nails it for me. I will never buy another Xara product or update ever again. I'm done.
