I just signed up for eQSL yesterday and everything went well for my first day of orientation, including sending a test eQSL to my own e-mail to see how it looked. Yesterday, I was able to hit the display button and my card 'popped' up perfectly. Today, I can't see any cards when I hit 'display' only a tiny yellow lightning bolt where the cursor hits the display button.

I read your other reply to someone who recently had the same sort of problem and so I went through everything on my computer to make sure that pop-ups were allowed, that the firewall was completely off and that all cookies are accepted. I have no other preventive programs other than McAfee so I know that I haven't missed anything.

What could possibly be the problem here especially since it worked fine yesterday ?

Thanks in advance for whatever you can provide.

Hi Terry,

After you display a card in your inbox it gets moved to your archive. Did you look there for it?

Yes I have looked in the archive and the card is there however same problem. When I click on 'Display' nothing comes up. As I mentioend it worked fine 2 days ago when I sent the test card to myself but since then the display feature does not allow any card viewing. I actually believe that it must be something in the computer & not your eQSL program because I also discovered last night in an e-mail from a friend that a link he sent to me would not display either when I clicked on it.

But as mentioned I've exhausted all of the ideas I had regarding computer settings, Do you have any other thoughts about computer settings that I should also check. So far, 'no pop ups allowed' is checked, firewall shut down and all cookies accepted. I don't know what else to do.

Thanks Dave.

Terry,

Did you make a typo when you said "'no pop ups allowed' is checked"? If it is not a typo, un-check that box :)

It sounds like certainly you are having a problem with popups being blocked someplace, they have to be enabled to view cards.

Dave,
Yes it certainly was a typo...I have definitely opened the gates for all pop ups. I agree that popups are suddenly being blocked somewhere in my system but am really puzzled as to where.

The odd thing is as you say it was working for you yesterday. There is nothing wrong at this end, I was able to view your cards with no problem.

Maybe you could try a different browser, such as goggle chrome?

Hi Dave,
Issue solved. Phoned Dell Support and they discovered that my most recent Microsoft automatic update (done 2 days ago) had affected my computer configurations with pop-ups. The tech restored my computer to 2 days ago and took me off auto updates in favour of my selecting only the critical ones from here on. Now everything is back to where it was when I first installed eQSL.

Dave, thank you so much for all your advice and investigation into my problem. I appreciate the great support you provided. Hopefully, if anyone else has a similar situation they will benefit from what has happened in my case.

All the best.
