JavaScript DialogBox Private Messages
« on: November 27, 2010, 11:53:25 am »
Well, when i get a private message, a javascript dialog box shows up saying "You have 1 message in your Inbox, open it in a new tab?" "Yes","No".

I always go for "Yes", but no tab opens and I have to manually access Inbox.

I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome (7.0.x.y.a.b.c.d) in Windows 7 64Bit.

If this is a global error, it would be cool and I think, easy, to fix it :)

Chrome is probably blocking it as a popup, I think.

I'll put it online when it does something.

That means it's working for all of you? How bad for me!

It's not working for me in Safari.  I just use it to know that I have something in my inbox and go from there.

So do I. So, DJ or other programmer of the forum, can this be fixed?

I would check your settings to make sure, though. It's just a suspicion I have.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I've used it mainly as graph does. Managers, any ideas?

What settings, forum or browser?

Ah, sorry, I thought it was implied :-[
Browser settings, most definitely. The forum doesn't block popups :P

It's due to browser pop-up blockers. You need to allow pop ups for this website. That said, I just click OK and go check my inbox manually. I have to do this on Cemetech as well and had to do this on the old Omni board as well, but in Cemetech/The old Omni board it is/was worse because the alert box itself appears in a pop-up

I need to find a mod that opens it in the same window, though.

EDIT: For now the forum PM options are located at profile->Personal Message Options. It's possible to get notified via e-mail if you want, unless you use a fake e-mail address (bad idea if you ever forget your password).

Thanks for the clarification, DJ. :)
Just added omnimaga.org as an exception so it can display popups :D

What sucks now is that most sites uses pop-unders or those pop ups that only appear when clicking the page anywhere. Those are not filtered for some reasons. Yet, good pop ups still gets blocked by default. X.x

You won't abuse Omnimaga's exception to spam popups at me, will you? :P (Just kidding, I know you wouldn't)
I agree, that is annoying x.x

I'll have it checked for Omnimaga only, since I don't want to allow Pop-Ups :S

Since I'm using firefox, it alerts me if a site tries to open a popup and let's you either make ff stop alerting you, temprarily allow the popups, or add an exception. I guess other browsers don't have the alert so you know a popup has been blocked.
