I am get very up-set at all these new pop-up advertisements. I have seen this before and it only gets worse, down hill from here.  I am for chipping in a little bit, to support to change this into a no ad site if they have this set-up? any body else? If they do not have a no ad board here we need to email Pro Boards with some of are own very special ads of our own! Mike |

I dont get pop up ad's on here, theres two ways I know you can sort the pop up problem.
The first is change your internet browser from "Internet Explorer" to "Mozilla Firefox", this is a good change because
A) Mozilla has less vulnerabilities than Internet explorer, meaning you wont get all this nasty spyware and adware that downloads itself to your computer by itself.
B) Mozilla firefox has a built in pop up blocker that works wonders.
The second way is to download a pop up stopper called "pop up stopper free edition" you can search for the name on google and it will tell you a site to download it from. The only problem with this is everytime you want to open another browser window from a link you usually have to hold the Crtl button whilst clicking, this can get a tad annoying
Anyway, hope this information helps you
Adam

You shouldn't get any pop-ups from here. Just the 1 ad at the top which randomly uses sites from a google search to put there. I usually see caricature sites listed there.
To stop the pop-ups download adaware and run it when ever you start to get a bunch of pop-ups. It has really helped me. Just go to download.com and do a search for it.
