This has been discussed at the business level behind the scenes. In the meantime, all I can offer you is that none of the ads play sound automatically ... only when hovered over and only once per pageview.

NO ads should EVER do things when hovered over. You almost always have to cross the top ad bar to get to the menu items above and below it.
I wish I could get some kind of court injunction banning ANYTHING on a web page that causes a change when the mouse is moved over it. That "share" button is especially obnoxious.
There is a button on the ad to turn off the sound, but it resets to being on every time I return to the site.

Why do some of the "similar threads" listings under this post box point to threads from 5 years ago?

> They make a master load for each semester.
Do "They" know about the problem, and are in a position to do something about it with a better s/w load for next semester?

I don't think you need permissions to install firefox add-ons. I've tried it before, it should work the same for you.

Because it says "similar threads" and not "recent similar threads"...

AFAIK, if you already have FF installed, you don't need any special permission to install the plugins/themes/addons. Just make sure the proxy settings are in place[if any] and you should be good to go.

Yes you do need permission.
The system has Deep Freeze. Every time you start an app, it gets a fresh load from the original build.
The software updates don't even work if a user tries to install them. The admins have to download them at night, and install them via superuser remote access.
In addition, it is against the rules to install anything. Users attempting to do so lose their user accounts.
Any addon must undergo rigorous testing before being added to the build. That takes many man-hours.
The admin response to adding the ad filter was "stop using that website."

C'Mon, people. Listen to what Midi is saying. He cannot -- repeat cannot -- make any changes at all to the software base of the computers at school. He does not have permissions. Therefore, any changes must be done at DaniWeb itself do he can utilize DaniWeb while at school.
Now, the question is -- is Midi using DaniWeb for school, or simply at school?
