I can't take that meat ad anymore. I am going to jump off my computer if I see it one more time.

[mfcorey1]

How much will it cost to remove it? I will start an immediate collection!!!

1. Once it is established, I'll contribute. n/t

[hlthe2b]

2. Switch to firefox with the NOScript add-on...

YEAH... gone gone gone! ;)

[madokie]

8. Hell go one better and switch to linux with NOscript and firefox

I've not enjoyed my computer so much as I have since I made the switch

[aquart]

10. Yes. That works. Ad was driving me mad, too.

[Scuba]

3. What meat ad?

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

11. Really.

I'm currently using Vista with IE9 and I still see no meat. "Where's the beef"

[MissDeeds]

4. Same here

I dread coming to DU knowing that ad will be here in all its gory glory.

[badtoworse]

5. It makes me think of firing up the grill - nt

[hobbit709]

7. That's my attitude too.

[leftynyc]

27. Me too

A nice fillet with a baked potato and salad. Yummmy.

[lunatica]

6. Makes one want to throw one's computer out the window

[hobbit709]

9. If I did that every time I saw an image I didn't like

pretty soon I'd have no computer, no TV and no means of communication with the world.

And I'd have to rip my eyes out so that I wouldn't see the Rick Perry sign in the yard up the street from me.

[WatsonT]

14. And fewer windows.

12. You can easily make it go away.

If you're using Firefox, download the free add-on, Adblock Plus. Then select Adblock Plus: Blockable Items in the View menu and select the offending ad. Et voila, it's gone.

13. There should be a 'no bitching about the ads' rule

Every time one of these threads comes up, there are a dozen replies on ways to make them go away. Pick one and join those of us who don't bitch about what we can't see.

16. You mean the anti-meat video ad?

(your post inspired me to click it out of curiosity... eeeek)

[_ed_]

17. Firefox?

Install Firefox. Install "add-on" called AdBlockerPlus.

I haven't seen an internet ad in years.

[Maeve]

21. Totally---I never see ads.

Firefox + AdBlock Plus = :loveya:

28. Come to think of it, LOL @ 'once'. (n/t)

[dionysus]

25. why did i somehow know, without seeing, that YOU would post that?

:rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

26. LOL

It's Friday.


:woohoo:


And returns aren't due 'til Monday!

[Thunderstruck]

23. What about those audio/video ads at the bottom (for those of us who cannot

donate because we're unemployed) that you can't see because they are at the bottom and then out of nowhere your speakers start blaring, the volume still maxed from your previous Rachmaninoff listening session, the virtues of Crisco shortening?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Enjoy your star!

If you go into Options, there's a place to turn off those ads, down at the bottom of the page.

Have fun!

:hi:

[Thunderstruck]

32. Oh wow! I've seen your generosity before and knew you to be such a dear...

Thank you, CaliforniaPeggy, for being a dear to me. :) I'll be sure to pay it forward in better times, in your honor.


Wow! No ads! Yay!

[Skidmore]

30. I'm can't take any more of this thread and it is going to be hidden.

[fishwax]

31. right click on the ad and select "block images from ..."

If you're using firefox, that works. :shrug:
