Subject: popups

i was still getting that alert about the url being invalid and it would freeze and i had to constantly reboot.
i switched to chrome a few weeks ago, i feel like i have 2 new laptops, it is so fast and very easy to use, the best thing is that i have never gotten that alert again, i think it had to be an ff bug. i have not gotten any updates in 3 weeks, does chrome automatically update or is it invisible?
i have one big problem. on the vista laptop i cannot find how to allow popups at pogo. you can't play there unless you do that. on the xp at pogo it asked me and i clicked it and it works great. i went to tools looked at everything there, then went to options and i cannot find it. i hope someone can help me with it.
thx. ellie

ellieoop: Here is a Chrome Help page about allowing popups

http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95472&cbid=1arc62fh0l7cy&src=cb&lev=%20index

and there is this help page on Pogo, too
http://www.pogo.com/misc/sun-java/help.jsp

I have all pop ups blocked in Chrome, and if I click on Exceptions (Options, Under The Hood, Content Settings, Pop Ups, Exceptions) My one exception is this : [*.]game3.pogo.com

I hope at least part of this helps. I personally can't live without Pogo!

ellieoop: I was only pasting what is in my "exceptions" box. It is not a specific game #, as I play a million different games there. I didn't type anything in that box myself.
I'm pretty sure it was very simple though.
Don't you get a line at the top of the window, saying "popups blocked" or something when you try to enter? All you would need to do is click it tell it to allow pop ups from Pogo.
