I'm running safari, and I don't even have my popup blocker on and am getting nothing. I'd like to see what your talking about though...

It's not a pop up at all. The web page goes to the page clicked on however what is loaded is NOT the page you requested.

Firefox with the ******* Plus add-on gets rid of all that kind of bs.

I thought it was a pretty funny joke the first time it popped up, after 50 times I wanted to smash my laptop. It's good to know that it has somthing to do with this site rather than my computer having problems!

using firefox on my pc with no adware or popup blocker addon and still don't get it.

Seriously guys the security on IE is like swiss cheese, just download firefox and give it a try works way better, loads pages faster, no popups and its free.
