Just a small rant
Okay, now I am okay with advertising on one's blog, in fact I have no problems putting entries on my site saying I am looking for peeople to purchase links on my site, or using a paypal donate button. What is currently setting me off on my rant is pop up ads. I love surfing blog explosion currently to date I have earned 1832.50 credits surfing lifetime. Please make these things go away, I am trying to surf your site and because of these pop ups it is taking longer for me to load your site. I don't just spend my 30secs and run, if I like your site I will stay awhile and read, if you have a popup, I am almost willing to loose the credit to get away from it. I am completed with my rant thanks for listening, back to surfing.

If you browse using Firefox popups become a glorious thing of the past. Oh how i love my Firefox (strokes monitor appreciatively...)

Get Firefox, and automatically block pupups. Or if you're stuck with Internet Explorer, get the Google Toolbar, which has popup blocking without adware.
Good luck!

You tell 'em! Pop-ups suck. Testify!

My sentiments exactly. I also vented my anger in a written post.

I couldn't agree more. They are so very annoying. I also thought they were not allowed on BE?

I agree 100%... F Popups... try installing the google toolbar to stop popups.

Ah, whatever. If people want popups on their site, well, it's their thing.

I have MSN 9 as my provider and the popup blocker works quite well.

I also despise pop-ups, which is why I always have a pop-up blocker turned on. Unfortunately, pop-ups aren't likely to go away because, from what I understand, they actually work well enough for advertisers to keep wanting to use them.

I despise popups too... but it is now in the past because of wonderful firefox!

I have Safari. No popups. I do have links on my site set to open in new windows, but no popups, ever.

ooo, you beat me by 20 all time points at BE.

I don't think popups are allowed with BE.. report them *sweet smile*

I would just also like to add my love of Firefox for deliriously good pop up blocker. I have seen nary a pop up since I started using it.

Here's a hearty 'me too': dump IE and try a 'real' browser ;) . I'd personally recommend Firefox.
The aspect which grabbed me in the first place was that 'out of the box' Firefox can be used *precisely* like IE, so there's absolutely no off-putting learning curve.
On a different matter, if you're using IE in any other version of Windows than XP with SP2 installed, you are at *constant* risk from the Bofra worm. Many security organisations state outright: "do not use IE".

I'm another one for glorious Firefox!

IE, Firefox, it makes no difference. I'm on firefox right now, but I run IE at work. Windows XP SP2 puts a good pop up blocker in IE and Firefox has a pop up blocker. They both work well.
