Not getting a popup for new PMs

Over the last few weeks I've noticed that more and more often I don't get a popup message when I get a new PM. I've checked that the tickbox to receive such a popup is still ticked (it is), not sure what's going on.

PMs have never been in the form of a popup. I have the box checked and its been like this since I signed up. I just assumed that it was normal.

Dude I get like 15 popups a day DH. You are trippin.

@ CDB/Haylen: Make sure you have pop-up blockers turned off on your browser, that'll probably help.

I have always had popups allowed on mafiascum, just checked and that's still the case.

Ok. Now this is happening to me. I'm not getting them.

I changed nothing.

Idea: Turn off your popup blocker entirely, then get someone to PM you. Verify what site/domain/subdomain the popup is coming from.

I'm guessing it's possible that poups are coming from a different subdomain of the site that you don't have whitelisted... maybe even as simple as the www.mafiascum.net

vs

mafiascum.net thing.

I'll try, but FWIW, I've never had a problem with PMs popping up before 2 days ago.

I got the popup on all computers, all browsers, all OSs before. And now, nothing.

What do you pop-ups?

I just have the bar on the top that tells me how many new PMs I have. I never ever got a pop up form MS.

I've noticed this too, kind of. Pop-ups are blocked here, but when I refresh , if there's a new PM then a yellow alert normally appears at the top of the page saying "a pop-up was blocked", which is just as good. I haven't been getting this recently.

Since I don't have anything whitelisted currently, I'm not sure how I can fix this... but I expect I can live without it.

Since we haven't changed any code in months, I'm at a total loss to see how this could be something on the site's end.
