I heard that 101.5 is giving away Mac computers - I almost wanna try and see if I can be the 101st caller just so I can use Safari :( Though on OSX I still like MOzilla best...

I enabled RM popups so i could get PM's in a new window..... How do you switch that off so no pop ups come in?

edit: nevermind i found it... now fedex is the only site allowed to do popups....

Yep - mostly, I let some advertisements through and graphics and stuff, because otherwise sites like Ridemonkey become kinda gross looking.

I've been getting a pop-under once a day from RM. Usually the first time I hit RM I get a pop under and not after that.

Actually, certain places have defeated the Mozilla popup blocker just like they've defeated every other popup blocker on the planet. The reason it took a while to get to Firefox is because until recently, Firefox wasn't a popular browser. Same reason Macs don't get viruses.

Popup blockers aren't perfect. But they work enough of the time to make 'em useful...

RM has been having a certain tribalfusion popup coming through, though, which is something the chief monkey is looking into.

No pop ups can get past the awsome blocking power of Opera! Faster than a speeding OC12! more powerful than Bill Gates' wallet! Look! up on the screen! It's I.E.!, It's Netscape! No.... It's OPERA MAN!

popups---> :nuts: <---Opera

Towing the party line.
lately i have been getting hammerred with pop-ups on RM, through the blocker. It is REALLY annoying, as i had to turn off the blocker for RM in order to get message popups.

I havn't gotten a pop-up for months. On I.E. I use the google search bar and it has one in it and SP2 does it also. And on Mozilla i have never had any proplems with pop-ups. in fact it is perfect except some webpages wont load on it.

I am on IE and I get 1 pop-up every morning when I first log onto RM and thats it.
:stupid:

As far as the PM notification also getting blocked, so what? Just glance up at the top of the screen and if you see more than zero unread PM's, chances are you've got a new one in there.

or check the e-mail that says "New Private Message at Ridemonkey"...unless you don't get e-mail notifications. i have to get them, or else i'd get no e-mail. then i'd feel like a loser, and sit in my room while listening to Eminem, Dido, and Marilyn Manson, and Tool, staring at the Care Bear who is staring back with an evil eye.
