I'm not getting pop-up notifications for new PMs anymore. Is it just me, or did something change? I just got a new computer a few weeks ago here at work, so it may be something on my end.

I actually went to face book and wasn't on AZ to tell if anything popped up.

Are you setup to receive pop-up notifications? If so you should have got one when you came back to AZ. If not then scram.

No it wasn't set up, I didn't know that option was available. I am set up to receive them now, PM me some pics from last nights ride.

Need to set somewhere in your Profile...Brian, or is it just the pop-up box you're not getting? ...in that case you're blocking pop-ups but haven't entered AZ as an "exception"...in both your AV SW and browser. Sorry if this is Duh-ville.

I have the option set in my profile, it used to work. I don't think it's the pop-up blocker, because it's not a real pop-up where it's opening another window, it just shows a dialog box. Plus I never needed to add the exception in the past. However, I did add the exception earlier today to see if it made a difference. Now I just need to get a PM to see if it works.

Just got the pop-up, thanks for the test PM, gmcunni! I guess the pop-up blocker was to blame after all...

Yes I use FF, and it did update recently. Maybe that had something to do with it, I don't really know when it stopped working since I don't get PMs that often.
