There should be no "pop-up windows to open" when using the basic or advanced search feature. Simply click on the search tab in the black bar and it will open with a drop down tab. Simply type the "search subject" or a few key words in the box and it will go to a new window (no pop-up window) with the results.

Or, click on that same search tab, then select "ADVANCED SEARCH" as the option, it will open a new window (not a pop-up window) where there are options to choose which limit the search to specific parameters chosen by the person doing the search.

I can't recall ever having a "pop-up window" as a part of the search.

I am using MS EDGE. The forum reacts the same when using FOXFIRE.

If there is a problem with pop-up windows opening and then disappearing, I'd look at the browser settings on that specific computer. It would seem to me there's a "pop-up blocker" or a "anti-malware program" that's causing the issue. It's not the forum software since it's working for everyone else who is using the same search feature.
