Popups

Are the sponsors' ads to the right of the page still popups? Enquiring minds want to know.

Trying to configure new software.

no they aren't, i just disabled popus in firefox 1.5 beta (which blocks damn near every popup now, whoohooo!!) and they still come up. fwiw i checked out the front-end code of the page and its a php script.

They've never been 'pop-ups', it's just a regular link with target=_blank set so that they open in a new window when you click on them instead of the current window.

For example:
<a href="http://www.lgmotorsports.com" target="_blank"><img src="/ads/LGMsm.gif" border="0" width="100" height="45" alt="LG Motorsports" /></a>

Actual pop-up ad windows use a script to spontaneously open the ad windows without you clicking on anything
