Yeah, I do that too, but it has quite often backfired on me if I go and post a reply 30 mins after opening that window and meanwhile half a dozen people have already posted! :D Have had to learn to refresh an "old" thread before committing myself these days. ;-) |

| 126248 | 2003-03-09 02:01:00 | Real easy mate - configure your firewall to block the scripts in the ads, and edit your hosts file - If you'd like me to send you my hosts file text, which obliterates ads for about 1000 ad servers, including the one's PressF1 uses, let me know - it's a true gem. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 126249 | 2003-03-09 02:12:00 | X-( Why are you people so determend to KILL the forum for the sake of a few seconds inconvieniance? X-( As Graham said.. no ads = no money = no forum So let's just write a detailed thread on how we can get together and kill Press F1 shall we? Talk about bite the bloody hand! X-( .Clueless |

| 126252 | 2003-03-09 03:46:00 | Well why don't you people who still communicate by smoke signals make a concerted effort to ask the Press F1 people if they can make smaller file size ads? Less Flash, less colour, more boring, lower resolution... but smaller. |

| 126253 | 2003-03-09 03:48:00 | Yes. My post was in response to a PC based question by the person that started this thread - the if's of supporting a multi-national publisher by enduring (and paying for the privledge) their ads, was not my intention to debate. I think people are somewhat in gaga land if they believe this forum is "supported" by its pages' advertising. A few hundred kb's of server space and a miniscule amount of bandwidth, together probably costing a few cents a month, is all that this forum would cost to host. The database development may have cost a few hours of time, but that's about it. Do you actually know the ludicrous cost of advertising on this site? I do, and it's just money for jam for IDG. |

| 126254 | 2003-03-09 04:05:00 | Must be my bi-focals or something. Until this thread started I had not actually read any of the ads. Having had a decko at them once, I shall probably never read them again. What sort of time delay are we talking about in a normal download? Scouse. |

| 126255 | 2003-03-09 04:31:00 | Oh... My God.... Guys.... The Dude wanted an ad stopper...... Thats all. Susan. You're obviously very smart. But A "Controlled experiment" was not exactly what the guy had in mind. An ad stopper guys... You've all been talking about connection speeds, internet whatevers, firewalls and all. And yet I very much doubt, that even a SINGLE ad blocker has been mentioned. Can we all stop beating around the dam bush and give the guy one STRAIGHT answer and then move onto all the other people with urgent problems.... Where the heck is Bruce and why has this topic not yet been closed. Practically nothing has been achieved. |

He asked how to avoid the ads - editting the hosts file and dissallowing ad scripts via a good firewall WORKS! |
