Pleeeeeeeeeeease somebody stop those annoying pop-ups. This site has enough share of ad embeded and I do really understand why it needs them, but pop-ups!! Those even pass through FireFox pop-up blocker. Believe me, nobody is going to click on those, you just repel visitors by annoyingly present a pop-up while somebody tries to enter the search box and such...

I must say that I have, until now, no pop-up that has passed my Firefox blocker.

This is the piece of code in PA pages that brings those pop-ups, and they are getting more and more smart and pass through Firefox too, because they are not normal pop-ups, they are invoked when you click on a link or the search box.

I use Opera browser and it deals with them well too.  ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

I use FireFox 1.5.0.6 and it passes through, it happens only sometimes (time is set through a cookie). I could post a screen shot if there was a way to upload an image. In IE ( i use IE 7 RC1) I had allowed pop-ups from PA because at some point it was needed, don't remember why. Well, I have to remove it from allowed list and make it block all pop-ups. Still don't get it why there should be something like that here, when everyone tries to avoid it. |

I'm getting this awful one that comes up each time I go on this website, its about virus protection or something but its like a virus in itself. Its quite deceptive you think its one of those microsoft update bthings but it certainly isn't. ------------- |

As I said in the first post, I realize the need for ads, but do they need to be in form of nasty pop-ups? |

I don't think that these pop-ups are official. I use Internet Explorer and I don't get them. I think it's some kind of spyware that is causing it? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

Unfortunately they are official. I am spyware free, and posted the code that brings them earlier.

Just use Adblock and your browser won't even execute the script ... which is a damn good thing if the script should contain any exploit for browser bugs! ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

This is very strange. I don't get pop-ups and neither do I get the message pop-up blocked. I am using Yahoo toolbar but I think it says if it blocks a pop-up. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

This feature has tested my nerves recently, and created several enviromental hazards to my mental state. It's been discussed with higher detail here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27743 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27743
Going to try Mike's link, thanks for helping!
