All I get is the one ebay window in the background: the People's republic of Mao must have lifted population controls. No ad problems (since the old version of shock the monkey) with my config.

Hey I don't mind banner adds, but it doesn't take many popup windows for me to install a filtering proxy.

I'm just using the standard browser that comes with AOL 4.0. It's Microsoft IE, but I'm not sure what version.

I'm on IE 4.x at home, and I have the same problem as Mao - as I already posted in the other thread on this subject. E-bay windows keep popping up, whether I leave them there or close them. At work, I'm on IE 5.x and no further windows pop up if I let the first one stay open. What gives?

apparently ie5 is friendlier than ie4...

mao, if aol4 is based on ie4, then if you upgrade to aol5 or anything like that, it could stop poping up new windows

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Mark,
I think that IE has never been friendly, and I wonder if it will ever be. That's an excellent reason for me to use Netscape. And, under Linux SO browser is also better.
BTW, has the site been optimized for Netscape? When I browse Apolyton through IE5, the fonts are pretty awful and letters are giant, while with Netscape, the letters and fonts look nice.

I grow weary of the complaints about this issue almost as much as I grow weary about the issue itself. Before you start cursing my name for reasons from liking the current situation (which I don't), to raking in the dough because of it (which I'm not) and even that I'm some sort of explicitive explicitive (how constructive is that?), let me explain: we answer your questions to the best of our ability, and then you ask them again in the original thread and then subsequent threads and so on.

Yes, this was an issue discussed a year ago but the online ad market isn't the same as it was a year ago. Think of the pop-ups this way: UGO is doing what they can to fill space which means you don't see blank ads which means this and other gaming sites can continue to exist.

Also, see my response in <A HREF=/forums/"/forums/Forum20/HTML/001390__8.html#8">this thread</A> for an explanation of a theory I believe the online advertising market is under right now -- in short, we must accept the current circumstances but can be comforted that brighter days are awaiting us down the road.

Thats ok, no pressure. Take your time. We can wait it out, eh? I've got the pop-up problem solved. Everyone else can too.

	Got spare money?

As I stated to a response to my most previous recent post <A HREF=/forums/"/forums/Forum20/HTML/001387-2__76.html#76">in this thread</A>, it is not that I mind the complaints as much as I mind the nature of it.

The problem is that we keep hearing the same things over and over, and we have tried to make it clear that it is something that is, unfortunately, beyond our control -- we are simply trying to survive these lean times. Moreover, some of the complaints have grown counter-productive and that simply does not help anyone.

If this did not come across as being my message in the previous post of mine in question, then I hope that this clarifies it.

	Put an end to popups!

I actually just started this to make sure I wasn't the only one getting the pop-ups and informing you guys of the problem again.
