Thought I would help everyone who is having problems with pop-up's lately on PF.com

1) Use Firefox (download here: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6&os=osx&lang=en-US

2) Once you are using Firefox, click on TOOLS, and then ADD-ONS. Download the Add-on called "Adblock Plus"

This should knock out pretty much any popup ad you are coming across. Works a hundred times better than the built in pop up blocker. Hope this helps

Or use Google Chrome. http://www.google.com/chrome

Don't have to get any "add-on" to block the popups from PonyFans

I got a new Dell and it is blocking access to Firefox for some reason. Keeps saying I can't connect but IE works fine.
