Safari Pop-up blocker exceptions.

I know in most browsers you can put a certain website in the pop-up blocker and allow pop-ups from that website. Is there a way to do that in Safari? I am on some forums that notify me with a pop-up when I get a private message and I like that. However, it is blocked with the pop-up blocker and I don't want to turn off the pop-up blocker to get them. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Safari's block-up is an all or nothing situation. When the option is active, the only pop-up types that appear are those specific to the page you are using. All others, especially advertisements, will not appear.

SAFT, a 3rd party add-on, adds an "Ad banner block" specific to certain types of Ads, however, nothing more for the pop-up variety.
