SP2 IE Popup blocker blocks the New Comment window on this forum

[Greg Hazel]

So when you click "New" "Comment" or "Question" the IE popup blocker prevents
the window from being displayed. Behold MS breaking it's own software, and
making the internet more difficult.

It blocks many legitimate web sites as well.

Without applying the artificial intelligence add ons you can't have it both
ways.

If you want to pin the blame properly, blame the ones who made popup
blocking necessary. There are plenty of good uses for popup windows, but
cramming unwanted ads in front of unwilling recipients isn't one. If we
threw those guys in the bottomless pit with the spammers, there would be no
need for the popup blocker that you blame Microsoft for.

Besides, a news reader is a much better way to read the forum, and there are
no worries about popups or ads. Using a web browser for newsgroups is for
AOL users and such. 8^)
