Those Dumb Advertisement Pop Ups! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I feel so frustrated whenever I get to this board I already notice 3 pop ups & I saw 2 more by the time I get here! Is there any way I can eliminate this? I also listen to Live 365 & don't want to interfere with it.

You can check the web for various pop-up killers. There are several free programs that you can download.

While at home, I don't have much of a problem with pop-ups because I have installed one of these programs. At work, where I don't have the program, I get all the ads. And yes, they are annoying.

The program I use:

Pop-Up Stopper

Good luck!

Yes, they are annoying but the traditional banners don't generate enough revenue to make them worthwhile.. As an AOL member you should be used to seeing them. You should not be receiving 1 more then a page, and after 4-5 you should not see any during the same browser session.

Wayne, buddy you need to update your email address on here - I'm getting bounced messages from you.
