I'm not sure if this would be the appropriate forum for this question, but I wasn't sure where to put it..

Ever since I downloaded yahoo! Messenger, I've been having trouble with one particular website. The site isn't down or experiencing any problems - there is a link that would open a new window to a message board. After I got Yahoo! Messenger, I could no longer get into the window. Now, when I click on that link, I get a message saying that a pop-up window was blocked.

I have tampered as much as I can with my internet security settings, and have disabled the pop-up blocker, but nothing seems to work. I don't know if it's a security issue or a Cookies problem, or something else.

What do you guys think? Any advice or suggestions?

When your pop up blocker in the lower right hand screen pops up if you look real quick, it says View, click view and it will let you view that site, for some reason there must be pop ups on that site, it works I have Yahoo and I have 2 sites that I have to click view on to go to that web site. If need be you can put that web site in the pop up blocker to allow, or just click view.

Thanks for all your help, guys...but I found a way to overcome this problem. Apparently, if I triple-click on the link, the window will open just fine. I don't get it, but it works.
