    annoying popups

    Has anyone else notice popups that occur when you scroll over texts in the recent posts? They are a different color than the text. VERY annoying!

    You sure it's not something installed on your end? I haven't seen any color text or pop ups on this site. There are addons for browsers that can do exactly what you are seeing. Usually, they get installed when you installed something else and didn't uncheck the box for the "extra" free gift.

      No popups here.

      Edit: If you mean the boxes that popup over the recent posts with the first few lines of text, those should be there, scroll with your pointer to the right a bit.

          +1 on that

          Likely on your PC. I've never had any popups on our site. Check your Browser Config for starters. Something you browsed may have left you an unwanted present.

          Not sure what OS / Browser combo you are using but you should not be getting popups like that.

            I believe you will find you have some sort of tracking type virus on your computer. Get some sort of spybot or similar product and it should find it and get rid of it.

                    I think it had something to do with a BING tool bar. I zapped it.

                      With Pop-ups, shouldn't that be a "BOING" toolbar!! Or perhaps a SCHWING! Glad you found it and neutralized it!
