firefox worked out.
ahaaa nice ad killer.

Had no idea you could block that annoying rubbish out until reading this thread :ok:. Great! I'll try the adblocker :)

Does it also work with those 'PPRuNe advertising' :yuk: banners?

Yes, when so configured.

Perhaps a reasonable compromise would be to remove the wretched side bars except in the main forum thread lists?

They make trying to read individual posts extremely awkward - hence so many people have now installed ad blockers.

Shooting your feet off rather, PPRuNe management?

BEagle - IE7 has settled down into quite a stable and secure browser now and yesterday I downloaded and installed IE7Pro which has got rid of ALL the advertising, might be worth a try?

Thanks.

I installed IE7 when it first came out and hated it, so I'm still using IE6.

The message to 't management is pretty clear - most people will only accept so much and if the sidebars aren't junked, then more and more people will simply install advert blockers, removing all advertising completely.

I note that IE7Pro includes a feature which 'blocks all forms of advertising, including Flash ads, rich media, fly-ins, slide-ins, pop-ups, pop-unders, spyware and adware ads, and messenger ads.'

I'll give it a bit longer yet, but if those sidebars don't go, it looks as though I'll be changing to IE7Pro.......

Where Firefox goes Internet explorer tries to catch up. :E

But it will work with a HOSTS file - though I have always regarded ad blocking as a beneficial side effect of using one.

BEagle,

IE7Pro can work with IE6 as well as IE7 - it's an add-on, not a replacement.

Another advantage of IEPro is that it kills all Beagle's ads for sex toys that keep coming up on his posts:=

The 'hosts' solution is fine but it requires knowing the location of the ad server, and I had just caught up with the Google Ads (thanks to Tocsin) when it switched to what I guess is a PPrune server based ad and back it came, but with IEPro - bliss! It also has a lot of other 'bells and whistles' for IE users. Heaven knows what it is doing to Danny's pension fund though................

IE7pro installed
 

Now not a single ad is now in view - I did occasionally click on the odd ad but won't be doing so now as they don't exist.

Load gun, take aim and put hole in foot.:\

For those Safari-surfing Mac Users:

Safari AdBlock

Works a treat – no configuration necessary!

Brilliant! Thanks AM. :D

I hope you're joking!

Unless, of course, some geekware has identified your surfing profile and is offering you 'tailored advertising'??

IE Pro works beautifully - So Far!

P.P.

Am using Firefox and have downloaded Adblocker Plus, which has got rid of most of the ads.

However, "Ads by Google" do not respond to a right click with the option to "Adblock Image", how can I correct this problem ?

Give us a clue, please.

Can somebody please post a link to adblocker plus. I can't find it in Firefox add-ons.
