Outlook Web Access Reminder pop up

I am working ou of link with my office server at the moment due to a firewall
on-site, and so I am using outlook web access with varying degrees of success
- it seems to work well, and then there are some things that make me feel
like Microsoft went some of the way but didn't think it through...

Something that is bugging me is the reminder window, that displays a button
inviting me to open up the calendar item the reminder pops up for, but is
ineffectual, regardless of how my popup settings are - reember if I could not
use popups, the reminder would not have popped up!!

Can someone fix this please, and while they are at it:
Allow me to drag and drop or download vcfs from my web outlook contacts.
Sticking the whole lot out to an excel file is not an option thanks.

I am sure there is more, but these most recently rattled my cage.

Thanks.
