I've installed service pack 2 at work and home. During my install at home, it said something about blocking pop-ups. I don't think I've seen any pop-ups on Apolyton since the service pack 2 install, but I can't find anything in IE that lets me configure pop-up blocking. I've been allowing pop-ups on Apolyton in the past, and don't want to cost the site revenue. Does anyone know how this is supposed to work?
Edit: OK, further research indicates that there should indeed be pop-up blocker controls within IE. Although I thought I'd updated my work computer, apparently I didn't. It is in fact still running service pack 1, and I am getting a few pop-ups (although not nearly as many as during the last few months).
This is going to be a long-term problem for the site, though, since the blocker in service pack 2 is supposedly enabled by default. As more people upgrade to service pack 2, it will become harder and harder to make money on pop-up ads.
