Hi,
We are experiencing some hassles with ejournal sites that use pop-up
blockers since Microsoft's Service Pack 2 was installed here. For those that
didn't know (and that applied to me until this week), with the release of
SP2, Pop-Up Blocking is now directly integrated into Internet Explorer and
by default Pop-Up Blocking is enabled within SP2. The two cases we've
recently identified are Extenza and the European Journal of Palliative Care
- a Hayward Medical Communications publication.
Whilst it is easy enough to get round these issues on your own machine by
excluding specific sites from being blocked, the problem is not so easy when
managing a network of 1600+ computers for users without local privilege.
What are people's views on the use of pop-up blockers and whether or not
they should be blocked? How have you handled this issue at your own
organization?
Cheers
Lesley
