1157322 2010-11-29 05:09:00 The Adblock on my FireFox and IE8 no longer work on this site, but Ok on others. Has PC World a secret Ad Enforcer? mzee (3324)
1157323 2010-11-29 05:15:00 Did you subscribe to someone in FF? It works fine here Speedy Gonzales (78)
1157324 2010-11-29 05:56:00 You must have white-listed this site thus none of the filters work, perhaps. zqwerty (97)
1157325 2010-11-29 06:44:00 My ad block (adblock plus) works fine :)

I even found that it is possible to block all the useless crap on the right with an element hiding rule:

pressf1.co.nz##TD[width="300"][valign="top"]

just add that as a custom rule if you don't think the site looks quite right these days :D

YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!

Now all I need is the same for the top and I'll be sorted. It is a particularly awful looking at the top.

1157329 2010-11-29 15:44:00 While some adds make reading a page difficult, I know, I just killed one on this page myself. We should remember that it is the adds that pay for all the free content on the web!

If we do it to often we will lose the free stuff, or find ourselves paying for it.

I had this problem recently. The solution was to uninstall AdBlockPlus, reboot, then download and install it again.

Clarification: AdBlock did not remove any adverts unless I blocked each one. When reinstalling AdBlock, adverts were automatically removed. However I now understand that this thread is about the PCWorld advert on PF1, not adverts in general. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
