I agree that the pop-ups are somewhat irritating, but I'm not sure how effective asking members to contribute money would be. I live with 'em, and I spend tons of time posting. Meh. *checks posts per day count*

I'd also like to point out the greatness of the Windows option not to group application windows. Right-clicking on the offending windows in the taskbar, then clicking "Close" is generally enough to do the trick for me. Generally, I manage to eliminate them before they get on my nerves.

At any rate, this belongs in the Feedback Forum.
