Today a lot of rubbishy pop-ups have appeared every time I look at messages. Is this a new "feature". If so, can it please be removed.

Fencer: there are certain words that have a double blue line under them - that when you move the cursor over - pop up an advertisment of some sort - i feared it was part of an automatic upgrade on my puter - but maybe its specific to this site? - guess i gave away how much other browsing ive been doing lately.... lol - scroll down to the post by Gordon Shumway on this page - the word chess is the sample - who knows - maybe it will be on this post too...

redfrog: Yes, I know. It's funny, isn't it?

Just go to the Settings page and uncheck all checkboxes at the "banner ads". It's a big advantage of a paid membership to turn it off.

Fencer: It was a "Congratulations you're the 999,999,999 visitor and have won squillions of $$$$" type message. I have now blocked pop-ups and it's fixed. Funny thing is, I thought I had already blocked popups. That's the first time I've ever seen that sort of garbage on Brain King, but it's ok now.

pgt: Instead of blocking popups, you should visit the Settings page and uncheck everything you don't need.

Fencer: Thanks - I'd already done that, and can't for the life of me think how they got unchecked - maybe I did it inadvertently, but I have not been to the settings page recently, nor changed my browser settings. I'll do a virus scan and see if there are any nasties hanging around which may have changed something.
