POP-UP MESSAGE!!??
Is that a Dollforum thing or what?
The only popup that is generated by the DollForum is the one used to alert a member that they have a private message. That can optionally be turned off in your profile.
Popup are evil. And I blame the browser manufacturers for not providing the mechanism to turn them off. It would be a simple matter of disabling some internal calls in the Javascript interrupter. If IE and Netscape and the others allowed us the option of turning that language "feature" off, we would not have popups.
I can't recommend any software, and I'll leave that up to someone else to suggest. I just want you to know that the Doll Forum does not use popups except in a specific, non-advertising, and user controlled manner.

XP recommended I go to some web-site or other like "byebyads.com" and another pop-up recommends "endads.com".
