How to stop MSNUSER pop-ups?

Post by Peter »

One forum member has the habit to use msnusers.com for displaying their multiple images. This causes multiple pop-ups crippling my computer (9 pop-ups for 3 images). The pop-ups force me to sign up for a MSN passport. I refuse to sign up, so I don't see the images.

I have previously asked this user to refrain from using this system but he refuses and gives unhelpful answers like: Just don't read my posts.

Is there another way to avoid this crippleware invading the forum?
Can I change a setting on my computer perhaps?

Are these popups happening in forum posts? If so, I'll make him stop. The Foum should be a popup-free zone.

The pop-ups happen in this post:

I hope it is not just MY computer. If so, I apologize. Image
