hi, it sounds like you are using the google toolbar. the way I do this is to press shift + enter this opens the page in a new window.

When surfing the internet, I have encountered quite a number of links that are now inaccessible to me, and on the status line I get the message, "popups are blocked on this page, press the control key when clicking on the link." or something like that. So, I try and try again and again and I get the same results, a popping sound, but no web page opening or even a popup. Does this mean I will have to remove my popup blocker like adshield? Is there a work around to be able to click on a link and be able to read the web page? Are others having this problem? Are we now being forced to view advertisements? If so, what is the need for a popup blocker? Is there a quick way to open a popup and then skip it to get to the web page desired? I ask this because I am really ignorant, and would like to know. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
