Every time I click a link I get a horrible psychodeleic full screen pop up.
Please stop it!

And I checked....I have pop up blocker on.

I'm out of here until it's fixed....

You might try asking at the link below, if you haven't already. As far as the suckers coming up. I doubt if there is anything one can do except cut them off, either with the mower, or with hand pruners. I had never heard of a Plumcot b4. Sounds interesting!

I wouldn't do it. A 2-3 foot space between two driveways? For a tall spreading phyllostachys? That's cruelty to bamboo. And if the soil is hard and dry, why bother growing bamboo there? It will look awful is my opinion. Not to mention that culms are going to overhang your neighbor's driveway. What might be better is a miniature spreading bamboo, one of the pleoblastus (sp?) guys. That would look awesome and you can maintaing it by just running your lawn mower over it each spring. They'll only get a foot or two high. They too, however, will need some water.

For those interested in those two iris photos that I posted here, which I took at the villa in Tuscany, I got a reply from the owners, and, unfortunately the gardeners said that they have been growing there for years, and they were not able to identify them. I will continue the search for an ID. Maybe the iris forum can help, and I'll also search online. It's a great pastime to help get through the winter!

Well on top of it, it becomes more annoying....every time I get it, it takes longer and longer before the "close" button will work so I see more and more of the ad...essentially hijacking my screen.

I am not seeing it. Are you using Firefox as your browser?

Snookums - no one is intentionally clicking a link. I think the ad is "broken" or super sensitive to mouse movement.

When I am on Chrome the pop up makes the site barely usable. When I go to Mozilla, I don't have the screen high jack but I'm not able to post.

OK, I just checked my chrome settings and switched it from the default to blocking all popups on this site and it seems to have helped. That is one nasty popup!

Firefox w/AdBlock Plus and no popups ever, not even during this latest episode.

Annie, for future reference, I have a mac with glimmerblocker and safari. No popups, no ads. Try it; it runs as a preference pane in system prefs, so it doesn't interfere with safari updates and such:

The only issue I've had with it, since unlike most popup blockers it actually stops ads from loading, not just from displaying, is that sometimes video preceded by ads won't load. In that case, just launch system prefs and turn GB off for the moment.

It does make many sites faster, since there's no waiting for the ad server to do its thing.

I have a mac with firefox and adblock plus. No ads ever, no pop ups. I much prefer firefox over safari. Try it, you'll never go back!

All of a sudden I am having popups no matter what browser I use --Firefox or IE. I used to never have them until about a month ago. On IE it is incessant "Servads" pages that popup on about every third new page. On Firefox, it keeps pulling up a popup that starts playing episodes from different TV shows like the Mentalist. Any ideas?

jockewing, do you have adblock plus installed? If not, that will stop the ads and pop ups. If you do have it and it's not blocking, I'd make sure you have the latest updates.
