Top banner thingy won't go away. xx

This is what the top of every page on Neopets looks like for me.. I'm using Adblock Plus to get rid of the ads, and while I'm grateful that I can actually move around and not lag to heck, the grey box is quite an eyesore..

I've searched around for my userContent file, and apparently I don't have one, and I've tried to create one in the correct directory but to no avail.

Is there ANY other way at all to get rid of this thing? xx

I'm not sure this is actually what worked for me(since it's been a long time since I blocked that thing), but I went hunting around in my Mozilla folders, and in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome I found a CSS document titled "ads" with the following in it:
div.ban,div#ban {
display: none !important;
}
div.ban_bottom,div#ban_bottom {
display: none !important;
}
div.ad_wrapper,div#ad_wrapper {
display: none !important;

Apparently I opened a new Notepad document, pasted that into it, and saved it as "ads.css" instead of creating a UserContent.css file. I'm pretty sure that's what fixed it, but if it doesn't work, try opening all blockable elements with Adblock(shift+ctrl+B) and blocking various elements one at a time--block an item, refresh, unblock if it doesn't get rid of the banner, and move to the next item on the list.

The first method didn't work, so I'm going to try the blocking everything one by one method. xD

Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it. ^^;
