How to selectively disable anti
pop-up software
Most pop-up blockers allow you to
either selectively allow pop-ups from some sites or temporarily disable their
function altogether. We recommend
that you selectively allow pop-ups from the FLiCA.net site
(domain).
We provide instructions for the most
common pop-up blockers below.
With virtually hundreds of pop-up blockers on the market today it is
impossible to provide an all-inclusive manual. For instructions on other pop-up
blockers, refer to your pop-up blocker manufacturer's manual:
- Google Toolbar
- Yahoo Toolbar
- Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SVP2)
- Norton Internet Security/Personal Firewall
Notes:
1.
In many cases there is
more
than one pop-up blocker installed on your computer. This being the case, you’ll need to
configure all of them.
2.
Other examples of
pop-up blockers may be named "Ad Blocker" or "Window Killer", etc.
3.
Sometimes a blocker may
be installed even without your knowledge (this is called “Spam”).
Configuring the
Google toolbar Pop-up Blocker
If you are using Internet Explorer
with the Google toolbar, make sure that the Google Toolbar says "Site pop-ups
allowed" when you are on the FLiCA.net login page. To accomplish this, while on the FLICA.net
login page, click the button on the Google Toolbar that says " # blocked"
(e.g., 132 blocked in the picture below). The button will turn into “Site
pop-ups allowed".
Make sure that before you hit
“Test Your System” that the Google toolbar shows
"Site pop-ups allowed".

If you are using Internet Explorer
with the Yahoo toolbar, click on the pop-up menu (see picture below) and follow

“Always Allow Pop-Ups From....” button.
Then select the FLiCA.net (the line that includes
