My only wish is that they were black text.
The double-underlined is bold enough.
The ads help pay for this great free forum.
Click on one occasionally to get UCP a hundredth of a cent

Thats the spirt , its not like the ad is going to do you any real harm. Unless you buy stuff cumplusively at will if it pops up???

[sandwich]

um, there are a lot less intrusive ads that still work (see banner ads or column ads). the little red links are not my thing.

I see I would have a pet hate about car ads with no pictures hence i suppose we all have our gripes...

[sandwich]

Well I hate them because they take up real-estate.
RadioTimes in the UK started having ads with real-media inserts - an advertiser trying to make their column more 'interesting'.
If you had 3 windows open then the whole machine went like a dog.
Bad idea, some complaints and they've now made it that after 5 plays it doesn't play real-media clips on your computer.
I've now gone full circle and LIKE pop-up ads.
WHY ? Because I've installed a stopper and they don't get to me

I have a google pop-up blocker, works a charm! Sometimes blocks windows i want to come up though.

If it's when you click, then there's usually short-cut to override the block.
On mine it's Shift.
But, yea occasionally you can hear the blocker stop a subsequent window being created.
Again mine is configured to beep when it blocks so I can usually turn it off, click again and then turn it back on.
Your mileage may vary

Mine clicks when it blocks so i like you turn it off click again then turn it back on.
