I get pop ups here at work but not on the home computer. Quite often, the popup is related to the subject of the thread.

Will you all get a damn clue and focus for one damn second on the matter at hand???

We, as members of the site, need to make it perfectly clear that pop-ups aren't welcome, aren't appreciated, and aren't wanted here at f150online.com.

Stop your stupid bickering about Mac versus PC and all that stupid crap. Geesh.

Stand up and let IB know that you don't want pop-up ads on the site!

I prefer sitting while I type. They still get the picture.

EXACTLY. Everyone needs to shut up and realize it's coming from IB hosting the site. Grow up you bunch of girls.

Suprised the hell out of me when I got a popup today. I'm looking for the fastest way to contact IB. Let me know or post it here if one of you already has their contact info.

Go to this link on their site to send Public Relations a little message. It's meant for press requests but after about 20 messages they'll get the idea that it could negatively impact their PR to keep up with the pop ups.

IB will tell you to go fly a kite, access is FREE and the ads pay the bills. Use a good popup and ad blocker.

Do you really think so? What if... I mean, what if... we, as members here at the site actually had a bearing on how things worked around here.

What if, we as members, could sway the 'machine' to see things from the members point of view?

What if, we as members, could speak so loudly that someone would HAVE to listen to what we're saying?

What if, we as members, could send a message back to the machine telling them that this isn't what we, as members envision for this site.

What if, we as members, do more drastic and rash things to keep the site from enacting stupidity such as pop-ups?

What if?

I sell kites out of the back of my truck...

Use Firefox 3, Adblock Plus, and Filterset.G Updater and you'll never have to stare at another advertisement or popup on your screen again.
