Excessive pop ups

I get a Tribalfusion p/up at every click...is this normal? I understand FT has to generate revenue, but this is very intrusive. If I set IE to block pop ups FT feezes and navigation ceases....

Those tribalfusion ads are popUNDERS not popups. As a result, they are immune to most blockers, including IE. They also deposit an ad tracking cookie. I understand that this site needs ads but popunders are not at all "community friendly." I will NEVER do businerss with any firm thru such an ad.

I found that if I went to Tools - Internet Options - Delete Temporary Internet Files - the popup/under whatever went away.

Don't they reappear the next time you access the site and click on a thread? My system automatically deletes the cookie but the popunder comes back on my next visit.
