Brad I doubt anyone wanting to stop pop ups would care to let the "necessary" ones in... hehe

Doreen (hi btw
) your profile is a popup, your list of skins is a popup and the comments/ratings box for every skin is a popup. There really are some necessary ones that if they don't get through the filter makes it very irritating.
As long as a site only has one popup it's not so bad if you leave it open and go back to the page you're on with the popup underneath in the z order. Usually, as long as you don't close it no more will appear. Now though, there are really aggressive ones that float over the page you're on or won't release the focus and they are becomming more common. I agree Webblinds does an excellent job of eliminating them without messing with the 'necessary' ones (in most cases).
