F**k You! Amigo
One of the most intrusive and offensive popups on the Latvian web is the thing that the mobile phone card company Amigo has put up on www.one.lv. It blocks you from signing into you e-mail account with some flashing picture of Amigo's evil little mutant dwarf. The little m**therf**ker has shown up every time I try to access a one.lv account here in Cannes (where I am on "vacation" with my filmmaker wife, hence almost no posts until after May 20). I have a regular LMT subscription, but this piece of shit has totally put me off from buying an Amigo card should one of my grown sons come to Latvia and need a local phone card. I'll get them a Golden Fish (Tele 2) or an Okarte instead.

use tab,
and afterwards enter - u won't have to wait!
and why do you blame amigo for the ads system developed by one??
this is not the first ad that blocks access to one.lv..
as a regular user you should have noticed that, shouldn't you?
Use proxoimitron (http://www.proxomitron.info/) and forget about AD's, popups, etc.
m:)
Dunno what you are talking about! I also use one.lv regularly, but I have NEVER seen such a popup. I use Opera, with all popups enabled. And now, just to be sure, I also openend it up in IE and FF as well. no popups anywhere. Nor have there ever been.
I think we all wanna hear from Jouris somethin about TeliaSonera shopinng in IT area (Microlink) in light of recently published "Lots of things happening" on Siemens and Microlink possible future relations
Adblock helps in these situations :D I have no popups, banners, adds in iframes in allmost all sites I visit regularely
both amigo and zelta zivtina have used such ads on one.lv. one.lv is afterall a free web service which needs to make some money to support it. btw, one.lv is running much fewer banner ads than inbox.lv, delfi.lv or even draugiem.lv.
These same thing is with Toxic, but not in one.lv
