Anyone know why a little windown pops up promoting the Univ Of Phoenix everytime i go from elynah to the eLF? i guess its better than a random Harvard (SUCKS) window popping up!
Scumware

I'm guessing this is the unsolicited popup problem that google had a few weeks back.

These ads are *not* coming from eLynah.

I am getting SICK of popup ads on the Internet. I don't need to be told how to go to online gambling casinos, how to save money on my long distance bills, how to spy on people with the x10 video camera, and whatever else they think I'm interested in. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on minimizing or removing popups entirely.

If you're using Mac OS X, you can set OmniWeb's preferences to only open popup windows if a link is clicked to directly open it

I've used, in the past, a (shareware, I think) program called PopOff. It does a good job of filtering out unwanted popups, but I stopped using it because it prevented some websites from using javascript links to open new windows that I told them to. It's been over a year since I had it installed, though, so that problem could possibly have been resolved since then.
While we're on a related subject, does anybody know a good way (short of changing email addresses) to get rid of some of the spam I get so much of?

Mozilla lets you turn off popups

Mozilla is a web browser that lets you turn off popups selectively. Besides being free, both financially and ideologically, Mozilla is also available for windows(95,98,2k,NT and ME), macos 8.x/9.x, Mac OSX, linux, solaris, irix and *BSD. It also includes a IRC client called chatzilla that works very nicely for the #lynah chats.
You can download it for free at [www.mozilla.org]

Using Opera, you can turn off pop-ups. Also, a good IE and Netscape program is Pop Up Stopper (do a search). It'll kill all pop ups in IE and Netscape. If you want to open a javascript popup with a link, you just CTRL-click it and it'll work. It works very well.
