If you're not using Ad Block in google chrome, check it out.
Its been around for quite some time, but i figure i'd mention
anyway cause its exceptionally awesome and i didnt know it existed
till recently.
It has made the internet so much more tolerable for me.
No more ads, period. Not even the commercials in the begining of youtube videos.
You can set it to allow what ever you want. I have it set block everything.
It is amazing..

koenie17 -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 22 2015 11:28:41)

I'll check it out!! Those ads can drive me completely mad[&:]
Thanks Todd!

I use firefox with adblock and if I don't use it, sites like youtube become impossible to deal with[&:]



Sr. Martins -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 22 2015 12:46:36)

Adblock Plus & Adblock Youtube.

Best app in the world!



Leñador -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 22 2015 21:19:28)

I've been using it at work for over a year, my iMac at home never gives me problems...
I feel like it's really sad that we have to use it.......

Devil's advocate here: Do you expect the internet to be free? Are you helping to pay the bills for this foro? How do you expect Simon to finance this site if not from ads? He's actually losing money when you use up bandwidth without viewing the ads.. I'm assuming you work your day job pro bono to help humanity...

Anyway, if you're using chrome - check out ghostery. It blocks all those analytic type scripts (from facebook, google, etc) from tracking you.

Banners are fine, I have absolutely no issues. AdBlock blocks all the pop-ups and trash that's not a part of the original website designers intent. They're in YOUR computer.
And yes, I've done plenty of work for free, ask the women's shelter in East LA and Friends of the Family center for at risk youth......

With all due respect to your magnanimous philanthropism - the internet is not a disenfranchised youth center and you donating to charity doesn't mean you work for free.

Ummm I don't think you understand how ads or adblock work.



Leñador -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 4:39:39)

I'm broke, I don't donate, I put my sweat into those places. I WORKED for FREE and will continue to as needed......

And I don't think YOU know how AdBlock works...... I first downloaded it when I saw ads on MY website that I know I didn't put in. After installation, no more ads.....

Dude... You DONATED some HOURS and maybe some MATERIALS. You don't WORK for FREE.

I didn't realize you build websites (incidentally - I do). If what you're saying is true I'm guessing you used a service and THEY put in the ads. Anyway adblock doesn't remove ads from your site, it blocks ads (like the banners from foroflamenco.com) from other sites on your browser. Like the difference between painting the walls pink and wearing glasses with pink lenses.



Leñador -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 5:13:37)

Dude, donating hours on a semi regular basis IS working for free, period.

My friend built my site, not a service. If Adblock does block things like the foro banner, which it doesn't appear to on my laptop(maybe the settings I have it on) than that's not what I'm referring to as sad. It's sad that I have to use it to view my own effing website without ads....



chester -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 5:29:45)

What's the site?



Leñador -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 5:44:20)

I'll PM it.....



chester -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 6:05:17)

I don't see any ads...?

You sure it's not just you clicking on those flashing buttons on porn sites?



Leñador -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 13:15:08)

Is that what's flashing all over YOUR screen???

The porn sites I go to are reputable. [;)]



Sr. Martins -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 13:40:58)

Advertisements are not all the same.

I have nothing against banners but I hate popups that grab your screen, most of them are scams too.


I don't mind ads on the street but I would be really pissed if they acted like those headcrabs on half life:



Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px



Leñador -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 23 2015 14:16:00)

Yup! I hate when they hyperlink random text and when you put your cursor over a little pop up "comparing prices" pops up.

Somebody must have pissed in your cheerio's this morning, cause you're being
a huge douche.



Escribano -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 24 2015 21:43:15)

Todd, the ads pay for the hosting of this site. Google ads are disabled at the moment because they have changed their policy under pressure, so now I have to spend a couple of days programming to get them back, only for you to neglect to kindly explain that you can disable ad blocker for chosen sites - like this one.

No ad revenue, on top of your selfish assumption that I am just fine with that, means I shut it down.



Sr. Martins -> RE: You guys hip to Ad Block? (Apr. 24 2015 22:17:23)

We need to turn off the "Foro Challenge Block" extension. [:D]
