help with pop up blocker

[holly222]

I guess its a pop of blocker problem.  I cant get the frames to load in pogo unless i push play now....... so i cant choose a qwerty room or anything like that... I have firefox and windows xp.......any sudjestions would be great, thanks

you can go into internet options and then click the privacy tab and then the settings button towards the bottom and choose pages to allow pop ups from...or you can completly turn your pop up blocker off...also on IE....when you go into a QWERTY (or any lobby) and as soon as you make your table settings and click "play" hold down the ctrl+alt+shift and that allows pop-ups

Holly, is it something like this?

When the room first loads:


What happens when I click to play:


I've been at it with Pogo since Tuesday night.  Everything was fine beforehand, but out of nowhere this started happening.  Pogo's helpless center has had me running through several hoops, and they still can't figure out the problem.  I've been going through withdrawals these past two days >:D

it wont even let me get that far...... but it has been happening since tuesday........

[holly222]

Say i go to qwerty or checkers and try to set a table up.... I see my name sitting at the table, but the next box to accually play the game dosnt come up....... I tryed to unblock my popups and it dint work either........ :'(

I wonder if their Tuesday morning update screwed something up with support for Firefox.  At least on some of their servers.  Then again, if no one else is experiencing this problem...

What I don't get, and like I told them, I haven't made any hardware, software OR setting changes in a while.  The fact that I was able to play one day & not the next suggests something on their end.  I even went so far as to uninstall both Firefox & Java, and then reinstall them (thinking that maybe one or the other got corrupted, even though it worked fine on Yahoo games).  Still the same problem.

After I read your post, I tried clicking on a "Play Now" link, and it loaded fine.  Bizarre.

I occasionally have problems with IE and when I do I switch to Netscape. Never a problem there.

I have the same problem I just started using Netscape instead of Firefox to double brouse.

When you select a table you never get the pop up for the game table to play on even if you have the Firefox pop up blocker turned off.

Actually, up until this past Tuesday, I've never had that problem with Firefox.  I switched to it from IE about 2-3 months ago.

Tuesday was the same day I started having trouble. What the heck did they do? :'(

That is strange I am playing on Firefox and it seems to working well for me.

I'm guessing the error occurred on only some of their servers (since not everyone is affected).

Mine started working out of nowhere last night.  I tried what Holly mentioned, using "Play Now."  That loaded fine.  Afterwards, I was able to log into any game w/o a problem.  My guess?  Frame positioning values were fragged...  After "Play Now" worked, it probably reset whatever values were goofing up.

happy to hear you got it working again  O0
