Hi Tracy Since I posted this message it seems to have settled down. I couldn't turn a page earlier without a pop up. Isn't it usually the case! lol

If you have Xp with SP2, you will have a built-in popup blocker. If not, you will need to download one. I don't get any popups from this site, either at home or at work. Are you sure you don't have any Spyware or Adware?

Is anyone else plagued with pop ups on this site? I do get them on other sites too, but not half as many as on here. I run and update Adaware regularly and have SpywareBlaster which I update regularly too. Are these things the fault of the site or just something we have to put up with generally? Jeanette x
