This website is my new best friend. With the exception of that Tripod thingy that pops up every time I do something on there, but blergh.

Lookie! *points* Someone did a "Poseidon Adventure" musical! I think I'm in love. *swoon*

Well, if you really want to see those sites, here's a solution:

1) Download and install Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/). IIRC, pop-up blocking is on by default, though it doesn't stops those particular ones.

2) Using Firefox, go to the Firefox's Extensions (http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/) page and install AdBlock (http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#adblock) (and whatever else strikes your fancy. Tabbrowser extension, All-in-one gestures and Flashblock are popular choices).

3) Stop and restart Firefox after installing the extension(s) (they usually warn you that it's required). There should be an "AdBlock" item on the left of the status bar (bottom of the window). Click on it, and type http://*/RealMedia/ads/* in the "New Filter" area.

4) Browse with Firefox. You shouldn't have any more problems seeing the contents of the sites, at least until they change their advertising method. And new filters are easy to add anyway.

or I could open up my ie browser.

heh. But thank you, mysterious internet stranger.

You're welcome, even though I didn't really help :-) I'm so used to problems to be IE-related that it didn't even occurred to me it wasn't what you were using.

naw. I use Avant. Which is usually pretty good and tripod's the only thing that's given me twitchiness so far.
