So you obviously use Firefox, as do I But I suggest that blocking an ads directory these days is pretty simplistic. I'd expect more from a Firefox add-on. I don't use it because I don't have much problem with ads and Internet is my business. I'll still be setting up a test site for others this weekend and will hope to get some input. Trying to resolve problems with add-ons like Adsblock for Firefox simply can't be accomplished in a simple test site. We'll just try to help the average user who might have a problem posting inquiries on a graphic they have. I may even post a sub-system where people from the hesse list can post a graphic for a couple of days to do an inquiry. If that sounds like a good idea, let me know privately JK [email protected] wrote: > Wow! Absolutely amazing! My adblock software blocks it!
