A lot of details like due dates, etc. are set up in the back end but haven't been exposed through the UI yet. I'm working towards that, should be soon.

I agree about the pop-ups, several people have mentioned how annoying they are. As per the suggestion of a previous commenter I'm going to set it up so that it is controlled by the user (i.e., they can select if they've had enough instructions after the first pop up or if they want to see more instructions). I think that will help.

On a side note, those pop ups should be seen rarely by the user once they've actually set things up (though I realize first impressions are critical).
