Regarding the new pop-ups, I'm using IE 4.0, and the pop-up spawns a new window each time I navigate to a new page on the FlyerTalk bulletin board, regardless of what I answer to the script error dialog box, and regardless of whether I ignore the new window, minimize it, or close it.
An occasional pop-up is not so bad, but since most of us probably view dozens of messages each time we visit FlyerTalk, having to deal with dozens of pop-ups and dozens of script error dialogs each day makes the board almost unusable.
Perhaps these problems don't occur with other browsers, but I don't think that IE 4.0 is so out of date that a good webmaster wouldn't make sure that their website worked well with it.
Randy, please make sure that if you feel FlyerTalk needs pop-ups or banner ads to survive, that they are implemented in such a way that the site is still usable for most of us. Thanks.
