Help - Configuring Your Pop-up Blocker

 

Most modern web browsers and many third party toolbars integrate popup blocker features into your web browser. These features are designed to prevent web sites from opening new windows on your desktop that present annoying advertisements or potentially harmful content.

Unfortunately, these popup blockers also interfere with the delivery of legitimate content and inhibit certain features provided by the GLSC web site. Among the impacted features are the following:

  • Download of the Order Receipt from the order confirmed ("Thank You") page
  • Download of the Order Receipt from the Check Order Status page
  • Download of the Detailed and Three Column Printable Retailer List in Adobe PDF format
  • Download of the Family Order Form
