Pop ups shot down

[Guest]

Everyone gets the reason for pop ups - it's how websites pay for themselves - but they have come on a bit strong lately.
I've spoken to Kim at HQ and he's agreed that they should be removed from the forums because pop ups that make people pop off elsewhere are counterproductive for all concerned. They'll be gone in the next day or two, I'm told.
The forums have spoken. Power to the people!

Very decent of you, thanks. At least it wasn't so bad as a site I visited the other day - Aprilia owners' I think it was, for my son. The damn things kept coming up faster than I could squeeze the Rodent!!

They seem to be far more prevalent using ie5 as one's browser.

Yet another good reason for avoiding Microsoft products.

A good thing the Pop Up did for me . . .

... It introduced me to the Pop Up Killer

Love to know how you avoid MS stuff. Hate them myself, but 90% of the world has been deluded in the belief that they are the only products available for IS communication.

Normally, if you do not like a product you buy something different, but the marketers seem to have the upper hand with MS wonder products.
