EZBoard Popup - HELP!!

I have been reading this website for a while and have had no problems navigating. Today I registered and I am starting to get frustrated with it. It automatically signs me in as a registered user (which is fine) but I keep getting a popup for "EZBoard" that I have to close down in order to read the screen - does anyone know how I get rid of this? The dates and times of the messages don't seem to update either - the main screen shows messages with times that I know I have been on since but when I click on them there are newer messages waiting. It's a little frustrating trying to navigate - as I said I didn't have any problems until I became a registered user! Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
from one of the more technically inept applicants!
