Hello and thanks Robert, but I no longer have a popup blocker as my google
toolbar has disappeared. When you say "Clicking New launches" you mean
launches to post here in MS?


Yes. On the "MS Communities web interface to Newsgroups"
E.g. on the web page that you are still using to send replies with. ; )
If you ever want to start your own discussion, instead of hijacking
someone else's thread, using that site, click on New [Start a new thread],
and wait for a small dropdown menu to appear there.
That's what it looks like but it's really implemented by a tiny popup window.
Hence, if you have popup blockers active you may only be able
to see that menu if you make sure that the popup blockers allow it.



And please explain this too: "Alternatively modify the popup blocker to
allow popups from that site." Do you mean to enable again the popup
function (if I had it and had it disabled)?


Are you saying you still don't see the New button's menu
after disabling *all* your popup blockers? Did you try using Ctrl- Click
(e.g. with IE6sp2) or Ctrl+Alt- (with IE7) just in case it is still active?

Hmm... I just tried changing IE7's popup blocker to High level and found
that the New menu *still* appears, so perhaps that isn't the implementation
after all.


BTW I just noticed that you haven't disclosed *any* information about
either your OS or your browser so I may be wasting my time guessing
about this. E.g. if you're not using IE as your browser when posting
or you're not allowing Scripting and ActiveX controls you would also
have difficulty using the site.



Thanks again. Adela


Good luck

Robert
