Re: Pop up windows that don't always work...

A lot more people are using "pop-up killer" software.  Unfortunately, these
software programs often have the nasty side-effect of disabling even the
"passive" pop-ups (i.e. the ones that require the user to click on a link in
order to initiate them).

I would ask the users who can't open them if they are running any such
software, and try disabling it.
