That doesn't always work. There are/used to be active-X ads on the Yahoo
Finance Boards, I threw everything including the kitchen sink at the problem
and could never get the "your setting prevents active-x from executing"
prompt to disappear. Had to manually close the box with each post I read.
Royal PITA. Haven't had that happen lately though, perhaps Yahoo has changed
the way they insert ads?
