Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
Well, you need to have pop-ups allowed in order for chat boxes to pop up. I've tried Netscape, IE, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera, and the one that works most consistently for me is Firefox; the worst (again, for me) is Opera.
You are using a Wii here and not a PC? Please do explain. Surely if Wii surfs the net, Wii has popups and IMs?
Wii's browser (a variant of Opera--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Browser) blocks all pop-ups. From what research I've done, it doesn't seem like you can turn pop-ups back on.
Since Wii's are tethered appliances (as far as I understand), you won't be able to use popup-driven chat (or anything requiring popups) on the Wii unless Sony or its partners enable it. (Interesting further reading about tethered appliances and "generativity": http://yupnet.org/zittrain/archives/14

It seems to me like the Wii would only be worth it if you took the time to learn to hack it. I hate being locked into proprietary stuff after I pay for hardware. That's why I am wary of Amazons Kindle, though I would like a batter etext reader. Once I buy something, I want total control over what I do with it. Most EULAs are awful and if people ever read them there would be consumer rights groups popping up and more demand for open source products and meaningful choices in the market. Ah well.
I'll admit I really wanted a Wii fit (at least until the annoying GF doing Wii in her undies video popped up on Youtube o_O ) and I have seen some videos of people who hacked Wii to play Second Life that looked good. Maybe I if I win the lottery, I'll have Psi's robot hack a Wii for me.

Oh. How poverty has left me behind technologically. Although I do have a Kindle, and it's pretty good. It opens up space in the house and is easier to hold than a regular book, but I worry what happens when it gets upgraded.
