Google Ads?

GoldenEagle · 08-05-2008, 03:05 PM

Is anyone else seeing these on the board?

I use Firefox at home, and I tried to block the fucking "Pineapple Express" movie ad, but it kept coming back. Evidently, I don't know how to use Firefox.

Because it doesn't work with several sites I visit. I've had enough issues with it in the past that I finally went back to IE.

I think I do have AdBlock, or at least something with a similar name. Next to that advertisement was a little "Block" button. I clicked it, added the URL to my block list, and the damn thing still came back.

This wouldn't bother me so much if I could stand to see Seth Rogen's face at all, but I can't, so it pisses me off!

I think I might be, but I don't remember for sure. I guess I should check that when I get home.

I saw them when I wasn't logged in, but as soon as I logged in they were gone.

They should only be seen by users who are not logged in.

Oh thank you so very much. This was the missing link in my quest to rid myself of ads on webpages.

I was seeing them while logged in Ben. Using the Habitue style, if that helps.

I've never ran across a site that Firefox doesn't work with...
