These are getting fucking annoying: [img]http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/9783/ffffffuuuuuu.jpg[/img] Some of them are making sounds when you accidentally scroll your mouse over them (I usually scroll down pages using the middle mouse button). I am using adblock plus but it doesn't seem to cover flash ads, or am I just doing it wrong?
You're doing it wrong if AdBlock Plus don't get rid of them Try reinstalling it or resubscribing
I just re-installed it now to see if that was it but noes: [img]http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/3418/fffffffffffffffffffffffj.jpg[/img] Some ads can be blocked but some wont.
does it got a block button on the top right corner of the ad?
Look around the ad. It will have a clear thing that says "Block" [img]http://i26.tinypic.com/2iqxz4y.jpg[/img] [editline]12:32AM[/editline] Look around the ad. It will have a clear thing that says "Block" [img]http://i26.tinypic.com/2iqxz4y.jpg[/img]
I use flashblock personally. Flash ads are bastards, but I think a blanket block on all ads (Adblock) and continuing to use a site is a bastards move also.
noscript is quite handy for this too
Just resubscribe.

[QUOTE=Orsenfelt;16275155] Flash ads are bastards, but I think a blanket block on all ads (Adblock) and continuing to use a site is a bastards move also.[/QUOTE] maybe they should get rid of the shitty ads then.

add YARIP to firefox. then when its installed, you will see a triangle with a line thru it in your status bar. click on it, and click what you want to block, then click the triangle again.
Or do Adblock > Show Blockable Items... and choose what you want to block.
