Seriously Buck, I don't think people would stay on the net for 12 hours straight. I know I don't.

You could add maybe a pop-up/behind every three hours. I've tolerated a lot worse, and definetly won't mind an increase in pop-up/behinds.

As much as I hate Pop-ups, I have to agree that "if" an increase will help, set the time down lower than 12 hours.

I have absolutely no problem with the pop-ups, it is par for the course in using the internet IMO.

It seems like one specific pop-behind has turned into a pop-up for me, and that the one advertising a camera of some kind. It does not go behind when loaded, it stays on top until I click it away.

Does one of these tests include forcing windows to the foreground?

I tend to open several windows in rapid succession (and read the first while the others load), and since yesterday, windows will force themselves to the foreground about a second after they start to load (hiding the window I was reading, which is a bit annoying).

If this brings you revenue, then by all means keep it up. Otherwise... ;)

Just thought I'd bring it up (or is this just me?)

I tend to open several windows on every open topic and then let them load and then answer the relevant topic, recently every new one i open starts loading and then automatically changes window to the most recently loaded. Just an inconvienience really, nothing to worry unduly about. :)

Maybe windows force themselves to the front in order to make a pop-up into a pop-under? It looks like the pop-under first appears on top of the GameBanshee window, but then is forced to the background.

It's no big deal, but if this can be prevented by only forcing the window that spawns the pop-under, that would be nice.
