Err so is this a new thing or is it because FireFox was silently blocking my popups?
Im using Opera at the moment on my laptop (long story: mozilla hates me because I tried to fix it  ) and EVERY page I load comes up with a popup blocked message.
I cant use the forums under IE now because I have the popup blocker turned off (there is a reason) and it sends me a popup every page I visit...
I dont understand why this spam got incorporated again  popups went out of fashion years ago and tend to be the territory of spam-domains, link sites and porn......... the way I see it:
1) 99% of people have popup blockers and so wont see it anyway rendering it useless
2) The 1% w/o popups blocked just cannot access the forums with the amount of spam it generates - so you lose a customer - rendering it harmful
Please, please spare my peripheral vision (the little "blocked" icon is just at the top right ofthe screen  ), get rid of the popups! 
Cheers,
Tom

The obvious solution is Firefox RC1
PC World has the odd bargain and it can be useful occasionaly. It's the only real place locally that sells PC bits

Pop ups are irritating, and they are all over the Micromart forum, ( I do use a popup blocker that works) but I think it looks very unprofessional to have a blocker kick in every page you visit. I wouldnt think the publishers would get much income from it as im sure most of us dont click on pop ups if we have no blockers maybe only by mistake!
