    Popups, WTF

    seriously markos / dan / whoever.

    i picked the style with 2 banner ads and no popups, no my second banner is gone and i get a popup EVERY TIME I CLICK A LINK.

    when i open a new thread, POP! "Free Debt!". Good title by the way.

    After i reply to a thread, POP! "Get out of Debt!" YAY! Variety!

    seriously, this is insane.

    (i know there are other thread on this. a new thread may show how sincerely i loathe this damn problem)

    yep - that's like the problem I raised in another thread. I used to get 2 banners and no pop-ups - now I get 1 banner and an annoying floating pop-up several times a day.

    This morning at work, I was getting a popup login screen everytime I went to a new page here. Upon closer review, I noticed the software name as a product that was dormant on my machine, but somehow it was being triggered to startup everytime I refreshed. Once I exited and restarted IE, it went away. Strange.
