Safely Allow Pop-ups For MyNewsletterBuilder

Contents

MyNewsletterBuilder.com requires pop-ups to work correctly. We only use functional pop-ups on the site, and will never spam you with advertising. If you computer is using software to block pop-ups, you will not be able to use many of the features of MyNewsletterBuilder.

What are pop-ups?

Pop-ups (popups) are small windows that open up automatically when you visit a web site or when you click on a link or button. Often they are used to display extra information or add functionality to a site.

Pop-ups have received a bad name because they are often abused by websites seeking to push more advertising in front of your web browsing session. Also, many people have computers infected with worms and viruses that pop up advertising.

To address these problems many web browsers now include pop-up blockers to try and stem some of the annoying behavior. There is an entire industry dedicated to helping you avoid annoying pop-ups. Unfortunately, there is no way for a computer to determine if a pop-up window is unwanted and malicious, or if you really wanted to see that newsletter preview. As web applications move toward mimicking the software you use everyday on your desktop, they increasingly have traits of those applications.If your pop-up software blocks this behavior, those web applications won’t work for you.

How do I disable pop-ups?

We have provided instructions on allowing MyNewsletterBuilder.com permission to open pop-ups in some of the most common pop-up blocking applications. Unfortunately, there are nearly a limitless number of these applications and you may have something installed that we do not provide instructions for. We recommend that you contact the vendor for information on allowing pop-ups from specific websites. It is ill-advised to completely disable your pop-up blocker or security software.

You may have one or more of these applications installed and activated on your computer. Please address them all to ensure that you will have all of our functionality available to you.
