I havent seen any bing pop-ups... I wonder if all this stuff is effecting posters with lower posts counts.
I have not received any weird PM's, pop-ups, ect that some people are talking about...

I haven't seen any pop-ups on this site although it wouldn't surprise me to see Bing pop-ups. Bing is another inferior Microsoft product that they have to force on people.

you get bing pop ups when you use internet explorer 8+ and scroll over underlined key words on the forum. you can turn it off in the tools menu.

I use Google Chrome and get them as well. It only happens when the mouse cursor crosses over any orange 'highlighted' word in post....it's like a game, trying to avoid them. They must be buzzwords that Bing picks out for advertisers.
