646481 2008-03-05 04:08:00 Whoa..... Google text ads have finally made their debut. Yeeehah, nice one Fairfax :banana.

Peel-me is still very, very badly broken (www.imagef1.net.nz) though :groan:.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: For those who still prefer the 'nothing but the forum' look, here's the updated CSS:
/*remove ads and misc branding clutter, clean up layout */
.fairfax_nav,
#jcornerSmall,
#jcornerBig,
#advert-banner,
#header,
#navigation,
#page-peel-right-6,
.tfoot,
.sponsored_links,
table[width="160"],
td[width="180"],
td[width="170"],
td[width="300"],
div[align="center"] a[target="_new"],
div[style="text-align:center; border:1px solid #cccccc; padding:5px; margin:0 10px;"],
div[onmouseover="peel()"],
img[alt="PC World Forums"],
embed[name="jcornerSmallObject"],
embed[umode="transparent"],
div embed,
div iframe,
object
{display: none;}
The line reading ., should actually read . t f o o t , (although without the spaces) - for some reason vbulletin eats it.

646483 2008-03-05 04:55:00 Ah... I remember the days of ads on PF1... seems so long ago... :lol: jwil1 (65)
646484 2008-03-05 04:56:00 Top & bottom. I'm happy enough viewing the google text ads - it's fair enough that Fairfax should want to earn a bit of cash from this site - but page killing peelme ads are a bit much. Google text ads also load one hell of a lot faster than the crud they have been putting up here in recent months. Erayd (23)

Just 2 add-on's lol. And no-script also helps keep the browser safe. I would like to use Konqueror. I'll download it and that emulator(?) that makes it run on Windows this weekend.
