Hi all. Those in gov't schools who are annoyed by "The ad zapped" script on the Edupass server popping up with monotonous regularity might be interested in knowing that schools are allowed to disable it if they want. <br>

<p><i><font size="2">Dear Mark,</font></i>
</p>
<p><i><font size="2">Over the last few weeks, we have noticed an increase
in the number of people having a problem connecting with PDOnline.</font></i>
</p>
<p><i><font size="2">The problem has been traced to some recent changes in
'Ad Zapper', a filtering proxy used by Edupass, the gateway for most
schools connecting to the internet.</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="2">If you believe that PDOnline is not working for you in
the way that it should, we recommend that you contact your TSSP
Specialist Technician and advise them that we have found that disabling
'Ad Zapper' currently works around the problem.</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="2">This advice has been provided to us by DEECD. We are
currently working with DEECD to have this issue rectified and the
eduPaSS servers across the state updated. If your technician has any
concerns they should contact the DEECD Service Desk.</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="2"><b style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Please note that disabling “Ad Zapper” is a school
based decision</b> and may not be a viable option at your school. </font></i>
</p>
<p><i><font size="2">If problems still persist, please send an email to us
