Pink Poogle Toy Forum

I have Adblock on Firefox, but I forget what the style sheet is called. What name is it under?

AHAH! I kept getting this error today when refreshing forums on both IE and Firefox and couldn't work out what it was. I'm not running any popup blockers aside from the neopets toolbar and google's one... How can I stop the error without switching off popup control completely? because at the moment I can't load pages without it auto bringing up that error

You'll have to make a file "userContent.css" in the chrome folder. You reach it by:

1) Click Start
2) Click Run
3) Type %appdata% and press enter
4) Click the Mozilla folder
5) Click the Firefox folder
6) Click the Profiles folder
7) Click the folder that is a bunch of random letters/characters
8 ) Click the chrome folder

Create a file here using notepad, but be sure to change the filetype dropdown to *.*, then type as the name userContent.css, then paste what I posted earlier and save it.

It works beautifully, you can easily block the "ad here" image easily if it bothers you. We've won the ad war... for now.

I use Firefox, and I block all ads and "advertisement" notices (except for the little black bar at the bottom of the page, which doesn't bother me), and my topbar is half-sized all the time (always looking like it does on userlookups). However, I still have the issue where I can't click on the three links in the top right-hand corner of the topbar, nor on any neomail or other events. Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet?

Their modified css should fix it, even with the stubborn ad that rarely comes up, you can still see all links and click on them. I'm using opera, but I would think that it would be the same.

Cranberry, I just added a line to my UserContent.css file that seems to have cleared up the problem you're having with the links in the top right-hand corner of the toolbar. My CSS file now looks like this:

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;}
div.ad_wrapper_fixed,div#ad_wrapper_fixed {display: none !important;}

I think it was the ad_wrapper_fixed part that allowed me to click on the upper links once again. Hope this helps!

I never had/have any of these problems. I don't block *all* ads on Neopets, only ones from certain domain names so that might be why.

Yay, that worked -- I'm ad-free, have a nice small topbar, and my links work. Thanks so much.

I'm glad it worked out for you, Cranberry!! I was so excited today when I added that bit, and then the top links were clickable again! YAY!!

Everything is blockable. Don't give up.

Except me. I'm Death, and my sidekick is Taxes.

Holy Bottlecaps Death, that Jokers claiming their laundry is a home-business! They're calling new clothes "business expenses"!

Quick! To the IRS-mobile!

Using IE7 and Vista, can I block the ads easily without having to get firefox?

Yes! Please don't get Firefox. It is highly overrated and seems to attract users that only decide to get it when they can't figure out someting in IE.*

* Or alternative operating system users, that can't figure out Windows.

Having said that, Vista is evil. Definitely wear garlic or something when using it, lol.

You should read through the strings of this thread, but since it is sometimes hard to figure out what is for IE (Trident) and what is for FF (Gecko -- reptilian agenda anyone? lol) here is the newest code that will block ads in IE with Neopets current CSS. Seems they changed it at least three times already.



EDIT: Err, this assumes you know how to use the style sheet option in IE. If you don't then just check the past pages of the thread to find out how.
