• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I never saw a single pop-up but then again I am running 'NoScript' for Firefox.

If you are using the Firefox browser I can highly recommend it as it stops all sorts of nasties in those rotating ads as well as blocking any background scripts on a web page. It can be a bit of a pain at first as you have to 'teach' it which sites are safe but once you have allowed a site it remembers and you can return without having to allow all the scripts again.

Wish there was one for IE. Recently I ve been getting tons of small pop ups which take an age to go away on their own. Random text in messages seems to be underlined and if the mouse pointer goes over them a pop up appears.
 
Gaahh! I hate sites that have all those bloody popups. Whenever I hear "click, click, click" coming from any website's page, I simply kill the tab instantly and never bother going back... :ipepsi2:
