Yeah, title pretty much says it all. Why on EARTH are there google ads in every post now? They are all the same ad, as well. I don't see how that will help anything, if its always the same "pop up" ad.

 

Hmm, don't see them You using FF? If so, you can block virtually all ads from showing up... I don't see any on this forum anymore. I can show you how, if you're interested

 

Yea this may be a Firefox issue- I'm using FF and getting the same thing. Unfortunately it doesn't show up as an image so I can't block it.

 

I am running FF, i would like to see how to block all adds too, yobri?

 

Install Adblock plugin in FireFox and then choose tools->adblock->list all blockable elements. You'll see everything on the page that can be blocked.

You can probably add *.googlesyndication.com/* to your block rules to get rid of it.

wow...I love FF...sorry to hijack the thread any other cool things that a normal user might miss out on?

 

A bunch Pick and choose what suits your preferences

Not sure if this is the same one Dan is talking about but I'm not using FF & I'm getting some sort of ad on every 1st post. See screenshot:

 

Thats the one. I am installing the Adblock plugin right now to see if it can remove it.

Edit - The AdBlock plugin for FF seems to work wonders!

 

Good FireFox plugins:

googlebar (like the IE googlebar, but better)
Hide Searchbar (lets you turn off the default FF search bar since you don't need it with googlebar)
tabbrowser prefs (lets you do cool things like force clicked links to open in a new tab instead of creating a new window)
ieview (context menu option that lets you open links in IE. This is good for opening stuff like ActiveX pages or Windows Media content that doesn't work well in FF)
imagezoom (zoom in on images)
miniT drag+indicator (lets you drag tabs around to sort them however you like)
session saver (this one breaks a lot, but once it gets patched enough it will be cool. It saves all your open tabs when you close FF, and then restores them all when you run FF again!)

This is sort of comical.

Here's a couple of Moderators of this web site telling users how to filter out advertisements.

 

they need to generate more money. Just ignore it. hehehe

 

The ads are extremely vague and unappealing. I can't imagine that they generate more than $5 in revenue per month. The administrators should compare this miniscule benefit to the cost in site usability and enjoyment (which is admittedly small, but perhaps more significant).

They probably don't have much faith in the ads anyway, considering the mods are telling everyone how to block them..

 

I just installed mozilla firefox and blocked the ads...very cool Brian.

 

It's no secret, really. Anyone using the Interweb these days has a pretty good grasp of (or access to) how to do simplistic things such as blocking ads. I do it, and to keep good fellowship, I share requested info with my fellow board members.

Want another little "secret?" Press ALT+F4 and then Enter for a little surprise

 

I had been testing something out thats why it was there.
Its been removed..

 

 

SOB!! LOL
Yes, I was stupid enough to try it...
