question about rottentomatoes.com
Why can't I see the reviews anymore? The page will be blank except for this notice at the top:

-The review you've clicked requires a new browser window in order to view correctly. If you are using pop-up killer software, please click here to proceed to the review.-

But when I click, nothing happens. What's going on?

1. Is it an old movie?
Sometimes the originating publishers take down old reviews.

2. Do you have a Google Taskbar?
If so click the part that says "100 blocked" or whatever the number is to allow popups then refresh your screen.

3. it means you have popup blocking software installed
some of their linked reviews appear in a popup window... popup blocker prevents them from appearing, thus you get that message. You should be able to set your popup blocker to ignore popups from rottentomates.com.

Sometimes the links they have in the warning message don't take you off page, but try again to open a popup window, usually a consequence of software on the site actually hosting the review.

Turn off your popup blocker and try again.

6. Yes, the RT link takes you to the pub
where the review was first published instead of it showing up within RT. That's all.

4. I'm pretty much of a dumb ass on the computer Skittles.
I was lucky to learn how to post pics. Sorry.
