When I visit the lodestone I am (always) greeted with a modal popup that has two options. I can visit the promo site, or I can visit the "how to get started" site. This happens if I try and go to the lodestone from a forum link (to say, view a character), or if I go to the main lodestone page, or if I click on any link while at the lodestone.

This popup is modal and does not let me access the actual page I went to (although it shows it behind the popup) and it shows up every time I visit the page or refresh the page, It does not matter how many times I have clicked on either of the options, or what computer I use to visit the page (its the same on my desktop, my laptop, and my work computers), its always the same issue.

I am able to view the site only by using Chrome's development tools to delete the DOM elements related to the popup, but this is a temporary stop gap and if I click on any links on the page, it shows it yet again.

Once, in the thirty or forty times I have been greeted with this popup, I was certain it had a third option to close the popup, but it was so many times ago and never happened again that I am beggining to think I imagined it.

Please fix this popup. A way to close it would be nice, and a way to remember that you already seen the popup (cookies), would be nice.

I should note that the vast majority of times I visit the lodestone I am _not_ logged in to my SE account (I do not carry my one-time-password device with me). I doubt this plays any role in the issue as I am logged in right now and still does it.
