misleading banners

[bandrow]

Hi Clark,

The last few times I've logged on to the forum a banner popped up saying that I had "1 new message" and to open my inbox. This is clearly a pop-up for some advertiser and not a real Inbox alert. Can this be blocked? Not to say it's something nefarious, but whenever tricks are being employed to get one's attention and to click on a link, chances are it's impending B.S. ...

Thanks!

I think you can block the sender from sending future messages, after you open the initial message. Look for the checkbox.
