| | | Call me when it's gone
Call me when that "After 10 years I found out my father is alive" pop-up is gone. The thing pops up on EVERY SINGLE PAGE. If that's what this site is about then get rid of the fora and just fill it up with intrusive ad pop-ups like the rest of the nebbishes. When a site like this becomes more about advertising than it is about information, then it no longer serves any useful function.

| | It does for me... in fact, about the last twenty times I switched pages it popped up, but now it has stopped.
Someone heard you.

| | Weird. this is considered invasive advertising, my programs should have gotten it... or maybe Adaware is fighting for dominance again by letting it be.  My computer defence programs have a herd mentality. With the more docile of the herd and then the dominant programs...

@Hill,
why don't you try downloading either of the afore-mentioned browsers, and see what happens then
No, really, this isn't a plot to get people to abandon IE...

You know, send a message to the rest of the herd... |
