driving, wheels, nissan, car, tires, tyres (the proper way of spelling it) exhaust, sponsored links are for gay forums.

1. Must have firefox.

3. click on "Install now (70kb)"
4. restart firefox.
5. go to Tools > Adblock > Preference
6. type in "http://my350z.us.intellitxt.com/*" without the quotes in the "New Filter" field. Press "Add" and make sure you highlight the entry once it is listed.
7. click the "remove ads" radio button
8. and you should be done. check to see if it worked for you.
If you do have any complications, remember, there is the "adblock options" in that same window that you can try.
Good luck, now my350z.com is normal again for me.

I'm really hoping to hear from an admin .. hell even a Moderator that is in the "know" .. If this is something that is going to gen. $ for this forum then .. I'll put up with them .. personally .. I think that this forum is a great place, and anything that can keep it free.. I'd support. If this can eliminate the prem. membership... I'd not disable/block them on my PC's.

Just think of it as a way to learn more about how to block spam.
As for what I think about this sites and ads. I don't mind the normal ads that are at the top, and I actually appreciate them and hope they make money for the site. I actually do click on them and see what they are offering as they specifically have things to do with my car.
But the context sensitive popup ad is pretty useless to me since they advertised different things that I don't care for, and I never click on them. In my opinion, that type of advertisement tries to trick you into clicking on the link because you think the actual poster linked their words it to something meaningful to their post but in actual fact, it's from a spam company.
Anyhoo, the point is that this is not our forum and we have to live with what the owner decides on.

If you dont like ads
a) Download firefox with the adblock plugin
b) Pay for the premier membership.
And for ZlleH
--------------
Been there done that and have had more than my share of problems by using several of the so called unlimited bandwidth places.
Cheap doesnt always mean that its worth it.

One thing that I did notice on G35Driver (I can see the links there because I'm not a PM) is that they only appeared once, near the top of each thread. It looks like you don't get links for every occurance of the same word.

They're those annoying "intellitext" javascript ads. If you want to get rid of them download firefox and download the "AdBlock" extension and block the Intellitext scripts.
It's BS and it's annoying, dare I say dishonest advertising?

Some of you guys are ridiculous. This forum sold out? It cheapens up the look? Cheapens up the look of what? Free? Do you guys not realize that this site is supported by advertising and that is why it's free. Let me them make some of the text highlight green or pay for a premier membership...otherwise stop complaining about free service to you.
