Do I need to disable pop-up blockers?
Yes. Most of the online learning systems, including myCommNet and Blackboard Vista take advantage of pop-up windows to present course material. If any pop-up blockers are present on your system they will prevent you from using myCommNet and some Blackboard Vista course tools (i.e. mail, exams, library reserves, streaming media) We recommend setting an option that allows pop-ups from websites you specify, and blocks all other pop-ups. (Be sure to add *.my.commnet.edu and *.blackboard.com as safe sites to allow popups from these sites.)
Please refer to the myCommNet site for further information.
