Pop-up Blocker Help

You must enable gay.com to allow pop-ups  to be able to use the full Communication Suite, which includes Messenger, Group Chat, or IM. 
 
Many people have found it simple, but others have found the process of disabling pop-ups confusing and frustrating.  If you find yourself in the confused and frustrated camp, here are some step by step instructions on how to get rid of Pop-up Blockers for the gay.com site.

Keep in mind that you may have more than one Pop-up Blocker enabled. For instance you might have a Internet Explorer Pop-Up Blocker, a Yahoo Toolbar Pop-up Blocker, and a Norton Security Pop-up Blocker.
