Hey guys, what's with the new retina searingly bright advertising banner overkill on the forum? Sure everyone's entirled to earn a dollar but this is a dreadful distraction imo, or is it just me?

Hmmm - seems it only appeared on my iphone this morning, no changes on the desktop, and now it's gone away from there too...

Nothing different here.

3 words - Ad Block Plus.

Ads? WHAT ADS?

So Lewis, you don't have the ad ribbon down the right side? (Bintel is the top ad)

I forgot Iceinspace had banners. Ad-block also stops youtube ad's as well.

I've modified adblock so
I can see the banners down the side.

This is what I see. NO ads whatsoever. I can click the bar that says Advertisement if I WANT to see whatever the ad is, but I have no desire to.

Works on EVERY page, stops pop ups and pop unders, stops You tube intro ads etc.

ABP is 100% free too.

Ok Lewis, I have downloaded ad-block plus and it is enabled, but still I have all the banner ads on the side. Am I missing something in the setup??

Got it working now, had to stop and re-start IE now have a little icon in the status bar. Thanks for this one.

Thanks Lewis. ABP does a great job. Just what I want.

But IIS gives me great benefit and needs $$$ to stay online hence the ads.

I mainly hate animated and noisy ads. The ads on IIS are quite discreet. I use the Bintel ad like a bookmark. So I will have to think about it.

Normally when you start seeing different sets of adverts than normal it's best to run a virus scan and even adwcleaner.

All I see are the regular ads.
