The latest abomination is even larger than the old peelme area. Can anyone advise how to get rid of this in Mozilla?

582979 2007-12-17 00:33:00 Damn!! - that peelme ad is back for me

Seems the "inl.adbureau.net" in the host file doesnt block now, they change the server?

Can anyone give me the new url for the host file to block that bloody annoying thing

Cheers

582980 2007-12-17 01:04:00 Killing *.vsservers.net should get rid of it.

Can't say I ever saw it return... CSS works wonders :thumbs:

Latest 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[onmouseover="peel()"],
img[alt="PC World Forums"],
embed[name="jcornerSmallObject"],
embed[umode="transparent"],
div embed,
object
{display: none;}

582981 2007-12-17 02:07:00 thanks for that, but no.... " *.vsservers.net " doesn't seem to do it in my host file.

582982 2007-12-17 02:40:00 Got it - for some reason the wildcard doesnt work with it,
I needed the
" s7121.vsservers.net "

Cheers

582983 2007-12-17 02:42:00 That's because *vsservers.net is a catch-all URL, and is overridden by the specific one used for the ad script - I didn't read your post properly and assumed you were using adblock (and putting that url into adblock will certainly nuke it). The exact host you need to block is s7121.vsservers.net, but this may change, so blocking the catch-all one with a plugin is a better solution.

[Edit: snap!]

582984 2007-12-17 02:56:00 Next time I'll just look straight in the peel.js (pcworld.co.nz) file to start with :D bevy121 (117)
582985 2008-03-03 00:33:00 Ah novus.

I have finally seen the peel-me. NoScript is no longer blocking it it would seem, and the 'normal fixes' :lol: haven't worked. Anyone else having problems?
