So if anyone is a GreaseMonkey user, here's a simple script I just wrote which should make it nearly impossible to accidentally click in the body and trigger the pop-up. I've tested on the main page, the forum page, the video categories, and on the video page itself, and so far it works fine.
Just create a new userscript, set it to work on all motherless pages and paste in the script here:
Basically all it does is moves the "body" below the div that contains all the content, then expands the div to cover the entire body, so your clicks don't trigger the pop-up. Whether or not the devs break this script, that's up to them, but right now it's working.
