Using Firefox i get no pop ups at all but whilst using internet explorer i get constant pop ups, it really does effect my original play as it sometimes crashes due to these pop ups!

Any chance of getting rid of them?

Google Toolbar comes equipped with a pop-up blocker. Download that. Also, it doesn't appear in the game window, thus keeping the original size of the table.

i use google.. best one out there

Thanks, ill try that.

You shouldnt get any popups when on funkysnooker, so i'd advise a malware scan ASAP.

Indeed we never display advertising popups - and in any case you should ensure your browser allows popups from funkysnooker as we use them to launch the game window and show player profiles when you click on the user avatar in game.
