          In a recent site usability survey it was determined that popups and popunders are one of the most annoying devices ever. Thus it's the latest craze in getting the user's attention.

              Interstitials? Sounds like some kind of Greek sex.

                Is that a posh way of saying adverts, or did you mean the non-metal ions found in alloys?

                  Yes. I can click through those, but popups mess with MY windows.

                    how about dhtml popups which appear inside the page, "above" the normal text, and stay in front of you even if you scroll the page down?

                      Same word means different things to different people.

                      At least I know what they are called now.

                        In fact Im involved in a field called 'notification systems' we know all to well about the annoyance of the pop up. But its annoyance is what makes it grab your attention and see an ad. So if apolyton needs to make cash, we can all live with it IMO. Its not like every other site hasnt started using popups . Poor internet ad industry

                          Markos, but the fact that there are TWO popups and the fact that other Apolyton pages (non-forum) tend to generate pop-ups too is annoying.

                            Actually it's any atom not on a lattice site. (i.e. an extra one stuffed in the cracks.) Could be metal, non-metal. May even be the same element as one of the structural components. Its just that its not on a lattice site.

                            An example would be an "extra" oxygen in Sn4+ doped Indium oxide.

                              Why are non-poly pages being treated this way. I feel like i should be able to go to other parts of the net without opaying poly for that.

                              Should I cut and paste the link? Maybe we should tell everybody to put the url and not imbedded links.
