Question About Sp 2 And This Forum

[TCH-Thomas]

I noticed yesterday when receiving a pm that the pop up blocker in sp 2 blocked the window that shows up when receiving pm´s. Does that affect the line to the right of "My controls" that says how many messages we have waiting, too?

 

If not, I am an ignored boy since I know people I am waiting for replys from have been in the forum.

Sorry, Thomas, I have installed SP2 but since I rarely use Windows nowadays (and much less IE - that pop-up blocker only applies to IE, right?), I really just installed it and came back to Linux, so I don't know the answer to your question

 

And yes, taking care of an operating system I don't use is just one of those Geek Things

 

Anyway, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum, for organization

Thomas, I just PM'ed you, see a number?

[TCH-Thomas]

Yup, I see it, but no pop up even if I told windows this site is ok.

Thomas, did you get my PM response yesterday?

[TCH-Thomas]

Yep I did, That was when this question hit me. I got some notification in I.E telling me this site wanted to show a pop up and I accepted it. But then I started thinking, "What if people say no to I.E´s question and blocks the pop ups, will the X New Messages also be blocked?". Then some people can get pm´s without knowing.

 

But then again, I received no pop up even if I told I.E that to accept them for this site when Rob tried it.

Pop up blockers have no affect on the display in the upper right corner that says X New Messages.

 

Keep in mind, too, there are three methods of knowing you have new PM's. The display in the right, the pop up alert (if you have it enabled in your controls) and email (also if you have it enabled in your controls).

whoops! Thanks for this thread!

 

Thanks for the heads up on pm's. I so rarely get them I don't remember to look for them! I don't have it set for popup or email so I thought I had to go to my control center to find messages. Thanks for reminding me to look UP above the forum... I have some messages I didn't know I had!!!

 

Better go look.
