It just started for me. I was thinking that I must have misclicked something. But hey it looks like you guys are seeing the same thing. If this is intentional, it sucks. Hopefully it is a mistake.

Thumbs down

I guess I should have searched before posting a duplicate topic: https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/000066.html
Sorry guys for the duplicate topic.
Even I get snagged every once in a while.

We need to start having some "Punch the Monkey" campaigns so the bills can be paid without using these dang pop-up windows.

Hey all...before we all holler...follow the link that 54regcab posted and I think we'll all understand whats happening. The minimizing trick he pointed out works good by the way.

Name of the program your looking for is called popup killer. It keeps extra pop up windows from opening.

This is by far my favorite site, but if it's come to this, I'd rather pay for membership. How many members times 3-5$ a month??? For some reason, I can't even post a new topic since yesterday.

If we all smack that monkey down, it sure won't be able to get back up. Start the smack down.
