    Haven't been here for a while

    Came back for now and...

    uh uh uh... are the popups killing this site or what???

    What has changed IIRC I had than minimum popup style chosen, has this changed? Is there a legal way to minimize the amount of popus here or not?

    Next... the forums are still relatively slow midday UKtime and I can't post because the forums are too busy, that is like morning in the US... what happens during the night? or is today just a busy day...

    Well OFITG, just wait until Gator bites ya.

    Concerning less pop-ups, I was informed to change my style to ultalight special...since I've changed Gator hasn't snapped at me, but I still get quite a few other pop-ups, and quite frankly, I don't care for the UltraLight style - but what can I do about it? - short of changing my browser from IE (which I do not want to do).

      Why don't you want to use Mozilla Firebird?
      It's many times better than IE, and it's not big.

        Firebird is indeed cool, but I have the popup blocker off because in the Gator thread somebody said that Apolyton doesn't get money from popups that get killed.

          Tbh, I think that many posters, even those that don't wish to harm 'Poly's revenues, are moving ever closer to blockers in the face of the recent spate of nasty pop-ups.

            For some reason, I haven't seen Gator at home, though I saw it once at school.

                Hmmm... Weird. I use the google toolbar and block pupups with it, but I allow them for this site... And I only get a Britney Spears Gallery ad every now and then but nothing more... Using the default style... Maybe you are not being cookied properly or something? You know, you see a pop up - you deserve a cookie. And you shouldn't be seeing more popups for a while...

                      Actually I don't. But me, and many others like me who don't wish to harm Poly's revenues are having to consider it.

                          I have read it. The point is I didn't grasp it.

                              Use Opera and turn off pop-ups you didnt' request.
