The fix seems to be log-in.
However, that doesn't work if you are unable to log-in, as several folks have mentioned. (Public or work computers, for example)
IMHO, the bigger issue is visitors. If I had the constant annoying pop ups when I first visited flyertalk, my response would NOT be " oh, I need to create an account and stay logged in, so I won't get the annoying pop up ads". It would have been "this site is awful, I will never come back here again"
IB isn't doing itself any favors by continuing to allow these ads
