I don't get any popups at all. I have a popup blocker, but it tells me when it has blocked a popup and it has never done so on this site.

It actually deters me from looking at the site and as the site also acts as a marketing tool, whether intended or not, I would suggest removing that function.

I would normally only expect that from either "cheap" sites or "freebie" sites, and have always presumed the profits from your products were supporting the web site.
it's your tactics.....


Oh wait. this is something else. since i've never encountered any pop up on this site, it's prolly caused by you visiting certain "cheap" or "freebie" sites.....

I agree about the pop ups. I only get them from SI via their main site if I try to click on the BBC webpage from it and yes it is very annoying. Pop up blocker doesn't work as technically it isn't a pop up its a diversion to another advertising site. I now never click on the BBC link on the SI main web page and just go to it via a save favourites.

I haven't ever had any popups from this site - unless you coult the window I'm typing this in.

Incidentally, my knee's a bit sore at the moment. Can I blame that on SI too?

Correct me if im wrong, but I believe SI don't even have the licenses to the Barclays Premiership or any of it's teams anyway.

So what would make you come to this conclusion?

the ones i really hate is when your viewing an internet page and then it slowly merges into another page. and you sit there waiting for ages until the 'close' button appears that lets you get back to the previous page.
i dont have pop up blocker though because it affects some sites that actually require the popups. like internet banking.

Pretty sure there are no popup adverts on these forums. I've certainly never experienced any.

Would that be the close button that actually opens up a full screen window?

I know what you mean, but I think he is reffering to the flash-type popups which are usually advertising football boots or something similar.

You might have adware / spyware on your PC. I used to use this free software http://www.lavasoft.com/ and it worked quite well. I paid for a decent all-round security centre - Norton 360 - which has sorted me out nicely.

Also, the Yahoo / Google toolbars are pretty good, but they track your internet activity. Apparently.
