Many
programs are available that will help users control
the amount of pop-ups they receive while perusing
the Internet. While these pop-up blockers are very
beneficial, they do prevent several Desire2Learn tools from
being displayed. The tools in Desire2Learn that are
considered pop-ups are the quiz tool, the discussion
board, and e-mail.
If you are having
trouble with one of these tools, please read the
following information. This is not a comprehensive
list and there are many available pop-up blocking
software available. For assistance with those not
listed, contact the software manufacturer or the NSU
Help Desk at 626-2283.
