Other Pop-up Blocking Tools

If your browser has additional icons that are not gray in color (such as the examples below) you most likely have an additional toolbar installed. Some common 3rd party toolbars include Yahoo! Toolbar and Google Toolbar.

yahoo google toolbars


There are hundreds (if not thousands) of other blocking toolbars/software that could also be causing pop ups to be blocked (Norton's - Macaffe... etc). We cannot possibly tell you how to disable each one, but we will attempt to show you what to look for.

THESE ARE GENERAL EXAMPLES... YOUR SYSTEM CONFIGURATION COULD VERY GREATLY.


In the example of toolbars above, the black arrow is showing that pop-ups are indeed being blocked.
right clicking on this portion of the toolbar will normally show options available.


If available, you can turn off pop-up blocking by unchecking the pop-up blocking checkbox temporarily while visiting our site.
Make sure to turn it back on when you leave our web site.

Sometimes you can enter sites that should be allowed to use pop ups, such as in the example window below.

Additionally, you can sometimes bypass the blocking software by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on the link that is causing the pop up.
