    PM Popups

    Is it just me, or are they broken?

    I haven't gotten a popup in weeks, but I've been getting PMs.

    And yes, I have them enabled in options.

    They do not seem to pop up any more, neither here nor at Civfanatics.

    Sick

    Works for me, usually just after logging on though. Recieving one while browsing apparently is too complicated a feature.

    I'm always logged in, so maybe that's the problem.

    I've only gotten the popup right when I log on.

    No, IIRC, you should get the pop-up, when you refresh/visit a page then.

    I remember getting the pop-up a couple weeks ago...

    Ah, but who lost FIRST...?

    Maybe PMs happen to Princes and Kings (note the posters here). It's off to up my rating...

    Damn. I guess us converted lurkers will NEVER get any PMs. At least not publicly.

    But the popup DID popup for me.

    Maybe it's a login time thing. I've been logged in for about 2 hours now.

    I've run into this problem many times. To solve that problem, I will go into my control panel and click on the options sections.
    I then just hit update/enter, even though I haven't changed anything. This usually solves the problem. I do it every once in awhile (usually after I notice that I didn't get a pop up when I received a PM) It will then work "right" for a period of time.
    Keep on Civin'

    You're telling me.

    I post a sexual article and it's moved to Community and all these people slam me with weird innuendos.
