Configuring Pop-Up Notifications

Pop-Up Blocker automatically displays a count of pop-up windows that it has blocked since you opened the BT Yahoo! Browser in the lower-right corner of the browser window.

Pop-Up Blocker shows that three pop-ups have been blocked.

It can also notify you each time that it blocks a pop-up window. The notification can be an alert sound, a small window in the bottom-right corner of the browser, or both. The notification window looks like this:

You can click the View link to see the blocked pop-up window.

You can also choose to have no immediate notification of a blocked pop-up window.

 

Here's How

  1. Open the Pop-Up Blocker Options window in one of the following ways:

    • Select Tools » Pop-Up Blocker » Pop-Up Blocker Options from the BT Yahoo! Browser menu.

      Select Settings » Pop-Up Blocker » Options from the Yahoo! Browser menu.

      Note: If you see Settings instead of Tools on your BT Yahoo! Browser's menu bar, you have an older version of the browser. Click here to go to the tutorial for your browser.

    • Click the Pop-Up Blocker button in the browser's address bar, then select the Pop-Up Blocker Options menu item.

      Click the Pop-Up Blocker button, then select Options.

  2. To turn a notification option on, be sure that the checkbox in front of it is checked. If the checkbox is empty, the option is turned off.

    Select the check box in front of a notification option to turn that option on.

  3. Click Close to save the notification settings and close the Pop-Up Blocker Options window.
