Default Private Message "pop-up"?

I use to get a "pop-up" window whenever I received an instant message, but has been a long time since this has worked. I have checked and double checked my options and it has been enabled since day one. Is it my PC or has any one else had this issue?

Check under your options, there is an option to receive a pop-up notification.

Go to 'tools' and you can turn your pop-up blocker on or off. Also your broadband carrier may have it's own pop-up blocker that would need to be turned off.
Problem is...all those **** sites will keep opening.

I have the same issue and my settings appear to be correct. In another forum, it works just fine in the same browser.

"pop-up" is a second, sometimes smaller window which "pops up" while you are viewing original page, which would be an instant message

Moderators----------any reason for this?
Also, why doesn't the auto fill-in feature work when typing in a forum name in the instant message section?

Maybe no-one is sending you messages.....

Seriously though, it must be a browser issue. I'm pretty sure I still get them.

Yup, another side effect from the "upgrade" perhaps?
