No pop-ups. The team at Internet Brands wants to keep the community as it is today. They aren't going to buy something and then ruin it with pop-ups.

What about infernal "in-line" hyperlinks like you see on some other forums? Ie, If I type "Corvette", the software automatically creates a hyperlink from my word to a supporting forum venodr selling Corvettes.
It's really GD'ed annoying.

We get "opportunities" to add advertising like that with some regularity. Troy always turned them down. A few have come in since IB became involved and I forwarded them to IB with the notation we have always turned down that kind of advertising. They concurred and we declined.

If there are no pop-ups then explain to me why I get a pop-up when I'm in my e-mail and see a Corvette Forum reply and I want to go back to that thread. I then click on it and I get a pop-up, not every time -but once in awhile.

Pop-ups can come from a variety of places. There are many viruses that display pop-up ads. Your mail host could be doing it, etc.. It's not being served up by corvetteforum.

I would guess that you have spyware that is popping up ads. The stuff is pretty advanced. They use databases of sites and serve up related ads.
I just about tossed a computer into the garbage once because it was so difficult to remove a version I had that was serving pop-ups every few seconds.
