pop-ups

I get that all the time too. It drives me nuts. Seems to only occur when I have unread mail in my other screen names. Once I've cleared the unread mail, the problem goes away until more mail arrives.

I cured the problem by blocking incoming mail to all the screen names except the one I use on a daily basis and severely restricting incoming mail for the master screen name.

In my case, it doesn't appear to be connected to mail.

The popup always occures just when I close out another web site by using the little X in the upper right. I even thought I was inadvertantly clicking on something for a while, but that is not the case.

At least I now know that it isn't just me.

I think I will inform AOL that I probably wouldn't be having this problem if I were using another ISP. Maybe that'll jog them enough to come up with a cure.
