s Each time I click "New" to start a thread I have to hold control
to allow a popup before the new question form opens. This happens
for "General comments" also. This allows a cookie to be installed
for the popup. Is this required by this site or can this be
prevented so I can use the forun w/o allowing the popup? Thank you.
