Nan, I still do not get any pop-up box since they made this change and there is no link for me to turn off. I think there is a new bug with this feature. I have tried in admin and user mode and still only see the underlines on surnames and holding the cursor over this does nothing. I can click on the link and it takes me to the Ancestry page for that name. Nothing else.

Is your browser or virus protection blocking pop-ups?

No. I believe that this is another "BUG" on the boards and God knows it is all too important to implement "NEW" and "IMPROVED" features before TESTING. and FIXING bugs that have been around for more than a year since the new boards were brought online. I am very unimpressed with the way things have gone since TGN bought the "business". If anyone has looked at amy of the umpteen pages on Rootsweb, there have been hardly ANY corrections to old links, FAQ's, etc. That is how NOT to run a company. Since Rootsweb is the free part, their website is BADLY neglected. So why should any of the rest of their business be any better?
