After an invite to play chess is accepted, all I see is a box with an "X" in it. No board ever appears for me

Question

My opponent does see the board.

Answer 1

The X means a pop up is blocked.(rooms open with a pop up)

Yahoo games open with a pop up. Most toolbars like yahoo and internet explorer have pop up blockers! When you try getting in lounge or room and it doesn't work. click on pop up blocker on yahoo tool bar. On the drop down list click on Always allow tab it will say recent pop ups blocked. high light yahoo.com then click allow. On google  blocker click on blocker and  it will allow site.

. IE browser settings to allow pop ups Right click on Tools, internet options, privacy tab, cookie over ride. Type in Yahoo.com, allow then ok.  If you see a blue gear with tools beside it, Click on it and a drop down list will have pop up blocker listed.Type in yahoo.com,allow.

This is the proper way to use the pop up blocker. I have never had a problem or had to hold any keys down to get in.

1st thing you do when you get in lounge is check small windows in options box. Once in room make sure you expand it to see chat area.
