I might be wrong about thhis, Cossack, but I think you can manipulate the content of those popups by changing the content of your postings. Let me test my hypothesis. College University School Degree School College University Degree Scool College University Degree School

I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, and I don't get most of them. (For instance, I'm not seeing the ones you guys are talking about.)

You don't have to be an expert on things internet to know that the popup ads are generated by the activeboard site (look at your URL above) and are not generated by AAUP.

Right...it's why this site is free for AAUP to have. So in an indirect sense, they do pay the bills (keep the site free).

Well, it knew it was me, because it was showing a Napster ad. Oops. Napster's legal now...
