I have the pop up blocker set on my computer but just recently on this site I get this 'related searches' thing appear down the left side. It's a real pain as it is slightly delayed & you just go to click on a topic & up it comes & pushes everything to the right so when you click you are in the wrong topic or post!

I didn't post this on website help as is obviously not the KG site but just want some advice on how to get rid of it!

Oh & if anyone knows how to get rid of the Internet Explorer pop up blocker that likes to tell me it blocked a pop up (the one in the yellow box at the bottom) that would be great too! Both have only just appeared in last week!

Hello Westi
Probably time to change your browser. I use Firefox with the NoScript add-on.
NoScript is excellent at blocking all the junk that comes with most web pages. Sometimes parts of the page may not display properly but with a couple of clicks you can let NoScript display the page temporarily as intended. It really speeds up up browsing.
Even without NoScript I've found Firefox quicker and easier than Explorer.
