    Google Ads

    Does anyone know how to kill Google Ads on Windows IE? I get bunches of ads showing up on the new forum.

    Re: Google Ads

    Short answer: No.

    Slightly longer dissatisfying answer: Use FF with the Ad Blocker Plus add-on. (this is what I'm using without issue)

    Full answer: ?? Not using IE right now... maybe check into ad-blocker programs for IE?

    Don't even need to use Ad Block.. NoScript does the same thing, only better. I don't even see ads most of the time, not even a placeholder..

    How about you leave the ads and click on some once in a while to help support Bok's hosting costs. Its the least we can do in return for his generousity.

    I'm a creature of habit, so I click all the ads on each page while reading threads--love tabs in FF

    They only need to load, right? Or do I need to nav around for them to count?

    That motorcycle technician training sounds good.

    Flash Blocker in Firefox blocks about a 3rd of them. Actually, it's a good thing to have in general anyways to keep the bandwidth down and the browser responsiveness up.

    I guess I can click an add every now and then as long is it isn't one that uses flash.
