Wejo. Get rid of the sidebar forum banner or I'm not coming back.

Just a guess, but try right clicking on the ABP logo, selecting 'Open Blockable Items' and selecting each script or image you want to block.

For example, on this page (the thread, not the posting page) I've got the following image and three scripts blocked:

I monkey'd around and was able to block all the annoying scripts that were bugging me on the main forum page. That is, I got the blank gray areas to go away. Thanks!

However, I can't seem to get rid of the eastbay link embedded in the threads.

I'm still stuck with that one as well. Still beats whatever others are complaining about.

Good luck with that, my friend. It's essentially an unnecessary application to install in an era when the IT pros are typically trying to streamline Windows builds, and Firefox security isn't as robust at Internet Explorer 8.

Well, at our little mom and pop "business" I don't think we're all that worried about security as much since I can get on facebook, youtube and just about any website that isn't deemed pornographic.

I.E can also blocks ads, Safari is even better at it

u r soooo bad with computers you can't even do your job properly enough so you browse letsrun while someone picks up the workload.

That 99.99 percent of all viruses occur due to microsoft, IE and outlook express.

And 93.25 percent of statistics are made up on the spot

Agree with the OP to the fullest.

Seriously get that thing out of there. I mean I know you need to make money, but put it anywhere else.

How do I get rid of the Eastbay with Mozilla ABP?

but you have to chime in and rant about others ranting.at least they have a valid rant, you DON'T.

I can't believe you fags getting worked up about a few ads. Big deal. On the other hand, I'm a bit jealous. If your life is in such good order that making a big fuss about some internet ads is worth bitching about, you must have it pretty damn good.

How do we get rid of the ads on the iphone? Is there a better site to post to on running, where they don't have communist moderators?

Sweet!! I just added the Mozilla Ad Blocker (ABP). Works like a charm, but if everyone blocks all the ads, will the website still be able to generate income? Serious question....I'm a little uneducated on this topic. I'm more than happy to click a few ads every now and then if that generates revenue for the site.

Well people who aren't seeing the ads obviously aren't clicking through, so the brojos won't get any referral commission for them. I imagine they'll respond by packing in more ads for those who don't block them.

Point taken, but from my perspective it still doesn't seem particularly wise to install redundant applications that would bog down the system and create more security vulnerabilities.

Of course you are more than welcome to quote as many fictional statistics as you like.

I will be the first to admit that Firefox is a great product, easily the most feature-rich Internet browser on the market. However, the fact remains that it has historically had just as many vulnerabilities as Internet Explorer, if not more. In the current generation of browsers, Internet Explorer 8 has shown that it is more secure than Firefox 3. Additionally, Firefox has consistently had a problem with memory leaks. Last but not least, as another person already implied, there are at least two different ways to block advertisements within IE8. Here is one of them:

See

and use the line with 'colspan ="3"' in provoxy or any other filter. Not sure if Firefox allows rewriting on-the-fly,I use the much superior browser Opera. ;)

That eastbay ad is the only table row with a colspan="3" attribute, so you can just hide it with CSS.

I just got on the site today and every time I move the trackball to the right to move the screen, a huge mcdonald's talking ad pops up and covers the page.

This is not only annoying but ridiculous.

There might be something here worth reading, but I am going elsewhere and will check back later.
