588442 2007-09-06 03:14:00 I see that PressF1 has copped out and finally crumpled under the weight of stupid pissy advertisements and has put one of the most annoying and rude advertisements i have ever seen in the top right-hand corner of it's site.

I'm getting really disgusted at seeing a fat, hairy man the size of a small building be presented to me every time i try to scroll up the page. Is their anyway of getting rid of this ?

Using FireFox 2.

588443 2007-09-06 03:16:00 NoScript (addons.mozilla.org) I know works, I'm not sure if AdBlock (addons.mozilla.org) does with the peel-me.

There have been another (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) few (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) threads about that add....I personally have never seen it - courtesy of NoScript. :D

588446 2007-09-06 04:27:00 Adblock rules! No ads at all. And if I do see one, it goes out the window or my web filter alerts me. :D pcuser42 (130)

588448 2007-09-06 04:34:00 Well, I couldn't see an ad in Opera so I opened Firefox .

Still no ad so I opened Internet Explorer .

IE tells me I must install Adobe Flash Player Active X which I assume is for the Peel Me advert .

Um . . . I think I'll pass . :rolleyes:

588451 2007-09-06 07:55:00 Well, I couldn't see an ad in Opera so I opened Firefox.

Still no ad so I opened Internet Explorer.

The ad isn't there to begin with, it has to load. If you give it a minute or 2 in firefox, it loads up.

I don't come to PressF1 to be victimised by pictures of fat, hairy, oily men with a pornographic grins on their faces whilst holding a 7yr old girl.
