How do I locate and disable a pop-up blocker on my Windows 7 computer? I don't think it's in the browser because I created an exception for this URL in both Firefox and IE and still have a problem. It was suggested to me that it may be embedded in taskbar (toolbar?) at the bottom of the screen, maybe near the time display.
Look in your CP in this forum and you can stop the popup. Under Notifications.
Hi Gary, sorry, I don't understand your response. The CP on my computer?
Hello susan8231,
Gary is talking about the User CP at the top of Forums' page:
Then you go to Edit Options of the left of the screen and scroll down to the Messaging & Notification section.
Let us know if this helps.
Hello ruste84,
Thanks for the response. Following your instructions, that appears to only pertain to messages and notifications from this forum. Perhaps I misunderstood, but I don't see how that can help with a pop-up blocker affecting other website that I may visit. Thanks
Oh. I think understand now. In IE go to Tools -> hover your cursor over Pop-Up Blocker and select Pop-up Blocker Settings. This is where you added the forum URL, correct? At the bottom of the window, you'll see Blocking Level. You can set it to High, Medium, or Low, whichever works for you. Or you can add more sites to the exception list.

Sorry Susan, I misunderstood your question. In Firefox Pop ups should be blocked by default.
I've done that in both Firefox and IE for the website I'm trying to post to. Still unable to post. A support person from that website suggested the problem could be a pop-up blocker running outside of the browser. That's what I'm trying to figure out, if there's something on my computer preventing my posting to that website.
