307709 2004-12-26 10:31:00 seriously guys, can we change the ad placement on the forums? They really suck...

That thing at the top... the pcworld logos should be on the red band and the ad smaller and below... its really annoying and distracting...

Also the one over there >>

That really craps out the page... any chance of making it a bit smaller, or moving it?

I realise you need it to get money so you can keep pressf1 online, but could you make things a little more ascetically pleasing?

I don't have an adblocker atm, zonealarm stopped blocking them...

307711 2004-12-26 11:05:00 Have to agree with Baldy. This is free Hamster so we can't complain. In fact some forums (forae?) are loaded with adverts. I'd like them smaller too but what the heck. :thumbs: Winston001 (3612)

Winston,

This is so.

Firefox gives all the ability to adjust advertising to taste.

People need not complain about something the microsoft victims seem to enjoy, do something about it, or live with it.

307713 2004-12-26 11:33:00 Can you put up a screen-shot Drb1 please? So I can compare what Opera allows, with Firefox. I have pop-ups blocked but don't know if Opera will block much else. Winston001 (3612)

Winston,

For you I will try it is not something I have great success with.

I had instructions saved in the old jive watch list but they all dissapeared when we changed over.

I am set up with css edit, add block, flash block, immage block, moving immage, block, moving text block.

Basically I get a text only forum, I dont even see the smileys, and all immages or flash can be turned on or off at whim.

I get text for post new thread ect.

I get NO immages or ADDS at all.

I even managed to KILL the java movie flash thingy, that I made a thread about in the old forum.

IF you ever go to fastmail.fm the forum comes up just like their mail boxes no immages at all.

Lets see if this works.

Edit,

Well as long as the magnification beastie works for you, you should be able to see what you need.

Edit,

I should probably have got the stripped idg header in but first attempt.
