Hi...
New here, I just found the button that lists IM requests. While I've had a few IM chats I seem to have missed a lot... What's up with that?

Look at your filter settings, the people sending them may be outside your perameters set. Or your IM might be shut off.dunno

No.. these are people who apparently have been trying to IM me. If I chose the 'Online now' window, to the left I see 'my lists' and under that is a button called contacts, which is separated into people I've contacted and people who have contacted me. I do have IM turned on... Filters?

Go into your mailbox and look at the tabs. Should be 4 across the top - on mine the last one is the filter settings.

Found the Filters. Nothing set there, except the time zone was set for the other side of the world :) ... not sure if that was the problem...

When I use Google Chrome.. I do not see IM'S either... Google autamatically blocks these as pop ups... If I want to enable IM'S.. I change browsers.. Try Mozilla Foxfire, if you aren't sure how to enable pop ups with Google..

Must be that, I little digging found me this...


Additional settings: Pop-upsPrint
Google Chrome automatically blocks pop-ups from showing up automatically. You can choose whether you want to see pop-up notifications:

Click the wrench menu .
Select Options.
Click the Under the Hood tab.
If you want to see pop-ups, select the 'Notify me when a pop-up is blocked' checkbox.
Click Close.
If you allow pop-up notifications, an alert will come up at the bottom right-hand corner of the browser window whenever there are pop-ups for the page you're on. It'll show you the number of pop-ups that have been blocked. Click the alert to expand any of the pop-ups. To dismiss the alert , click the x.



P.S. We're working on ways to let you specifiy individual websites where pop-ups should not be blocked. Stay tuned!

I find it to be an interruption and I think I'd prefer mine off anyway
