I don't believe it.
Just downloaded the Adblock Pro for IE7. Ran it, seconds. Closed IE8. Opened it, there was the icon. Opened this page and it told me 4 ads blocked.
Magic.
30-day free trial. After regaining all my screen real estate I shall buy.

What I fail to understand is that the moderators hate these sidebar adverts themselves, they know that the contributors hate them and are using adblockers, yet 't management continues to pollute the site with these s*dding things!
And......hack!

IE Pro installed and working ...... all the ads are now banished 
Silly people whoever decided to put that sidebar in. I was happy enough with the previous ads but that one was a step too far as it disrupted the thread viewing.
Now all that happens is I don't get any of the ads.... so those advertisers that did get my attention before ..... now don't ..... wonder how happy they might be about that ....
Now Beagle .... as I don't get the ads anymore how exactly does one get the info on these sex toys of yours

Whilst we all pat ourselves on the backs for having found a way to rid ourselves of these hideous side panel adverts it is just possible that the brains behind the BB are working on some software that, if you don't accept their adverts, will deny you access to PPRuNe.
The death of PPRuNe in my book but these advertising chappies always know best!.

How much milk do you get from a cash cow before you send it for beef?
I still don't see these advertisements ye all complain about. That's with a standard Firefox 3.0.1 installation with Adblock Plus, Filterset G, and NoScript.
The other PC, back in Essex, has the same but on Gran Paradiso and with a few more techie add-ons. No ads there, either.

If you feel that is your vocation, my son...
Otherwise, just download it and give it a whirl.
It's the development version of Firefox, but at a fairly late stage of development so reasonably stable. I run it in parallel with Firefox (released version) and Minefield (the further-out version), mostly out of interest to watch browser development happening, but also to provide some user feedback to the folks doing the development.
But I don't get any ads, either.
