OT Popups on board

Ugggh, this is the site that keeps running popups, but they can't even open. You have to allow popups to see PMs in a new window, but ORC takes advantage of this and has popup ads.
I know they need advertising $ to keep afloat, but popups are like the used car salesman who increases the volume of the TV ad late at night, annoying enough to change the channel.

I just hit cancel and let it come up in the current window.

Dale says we have to adapt but if anybody takes a vote, I'll vote to abandon this failed experiment. With the new software, the search function is almost worthless. You can't search for words less than 4 characters and it's full word search only. Before, if I wanted to search for posts about a T-176, I just entered 176. Now, it won't let me do that and if someone put in T 176 with a space, I can't find it at all even if I put "T 176" in quotes, it comes back "1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." Does the same for "T-176" or "176".

Html is turned off too, I couldn't use subscripts or superscripts in the discussion about VRMS.

I think it's all there, it's just that the person or persons who set up the new software picked some strange options.

Yes, I know how to turn off popups, thanks, yes I am using Firefox, thanks.

Just a PITA for the PM.

Search works fine for me.

Gee, I just noticed there are no more popups, even if I allow them here. Interesting :)

My browser keeps track of how many popups it blocks...
That's always nice to know.
Usually between 20 & 40 per visit...
I think ORC is over doing it by a large margin.
