Seriously annoyed by pop-ups

The new pop-ups on ivillage are SERIOUSLY annoying. They pop up every single time I click through to a new page (so, every time I read a new message), and I either have to click to shut them each time or I end up with dozens of new windows open in my task bar.

Normally, I browse a bit after posting on the board, but it's not worth all the pop-ups. In fact, if I weren't so attached to all you fabulous folks here, I would probably go somewhere else for my boards, too.

Oh, and in hopes it would stop popping up if I just answered the darn survey, I clicked through to the "five-minute" survey. It takes way more than five minutes, which is thoroughly irritating. It's taking so long, I haven't even finished it yet. I'll let ya'll know if it stops the stupid pop-ups.

I know I can get a pop-up blocker (actually, firefox has one already), but then I find there are certain sites where certain functions don't work.

I don't mind advertising--I know that's how sites like this are supported. I even read them and click through if it looks interesting. But the pop-ups are just freakin' annoying.

Maybe I'm just hormonal. Anyone else seriously annoyed by the new pop-ups?

Thanks Becky,

I just sent you an email regarding this.

It is a form to fill out. On the top right hand corner it reads "email this page". When I click on it, nothing happens.
