| 869928 | 2010-03-25 21:13:00 | I looked it up on google and it seems to be all about restyling the screen presentation, I saw nothing about ad-blocking, or was I looking in the wrong place??? Stylish Addon (addons.mozilla.org) Erayd's Stylish script (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) to block stuff in PF1 Adblockplus Addon (addons.mozilla.org) (For general adverts) |

| 869929 | 2010-03-25 21:16:00 | Or to make it easier press the windows key + pause. Then you wont have to go to control panel. Adblock blocks enough for me. There's no need to use the other script | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 869930 | 2010-03-25 22:39:00 | Yeah, well.... I finally remembered that I used Adblock on the old box (grey cells weakening daily...need.. more.. exercise......) so I installed that and after a fair bit of mindless stupidty while I blocked just about everything on the page, I finally remembered how to delete unwanted blocks, then remembered I only needed to click the unwanted ads to set up blocking. The biggest problem with reliable computers is that many years can slip by before you have to revisit some issues and by then you've forgotten how. I keep some 'how-to' text files I've written for some more common problems, a settings file for how various items of software should be configured if reinstalled, and some 'how I gave up and bodged it but it worked' information, but somehow there's always something new to find, or old to try desperately to remember. Thank heavens (and PCW) for Press F1 and all you people out there who collectively know the meaning of life, the universe, and all that. You are a great team and I thank you all.

| 869931 | 2010-03-25 23:09:00 | Bugger me!!! There's 2.6 gigs of data in my secondary paging file! So, it is doing the job expected of it, and that's 2.6 gigs of disk writes that didn't happen on the C drive. :thumbs: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 869932 | 2010-03-26 07:54:00 | Hi Billy, Know the feeling! You know so much stuff, it just takes a while to sort it out. On the other hand a lot of the stuff you know(not most of it) is a step behind someone who knows a lot less than you! |

| 869933 | 2010-03-27 23:10:00 | Ad blocking? please think again (arstechnica.com) I still can't understand the logic of ad blocking, are you that hard up for bandwidth that you have to block a few KB worth of advertising? |

Nothing to do with bandwidth or speed, I just don't like the distraction of unsolicited advertising when I'm working and the waste of on-screen real estate. I also ignore most ads in newspapers, supplements go from my letterbox to the recycle bin without stopping en-route, and I don't watch TV ads. When I want something, I research it and make an informed decision. Likewise, telemarketers get a very short shrift, in fact I pride myself that I can get rid of 90% politely within 15-20 seconds (they are lost if you interrupt their script, so I just ask them a suitable question (such as 'what does xyz co do?) followed by no thanks, and goodbye). The other 10% I either talk to if I'm interested, or hang up on them if they keep talking after I say "no thanks and have good day". :mad: Cheers Billy 8-{) |
