I'm melting....

[Dan Murphy]

I think this is what the first page here on the CB is saying to me when I look at it, 'I'm melting away'.

I actually thought my grandson had changed some settings when I allow him on my computer this morning.

I'm confused. What am I missing?

That is all. Sigh.

Referring to the gargantuan ads at the top of the post? It completely covers the title and the links back to the CB. Pretty annoying, and I hate that I accidentally hit the ad instead of the CB link.

Which, I guess, is what they want. But annoying. And the ads between post responses seem to have increased as well.

I had to delete and reinstall AdBlock PLUS as new ads were added that got around the AdBlock Plus, UNTIL I reinstalled it and MANUALLY personalized & configured it to block all the elements and some extra unnecessary stuff at the bottom and the right side, ALL OVER AGAIN.


This is what the top of my DISboards page looks like. I have NO banner, no ads:

This is what the bottom looks like:

I was able to figure out how to personalize & configure AdBlock Plus on my computer to block even MORE stuff on a page. I have been able to get rid of ads on the DIS completely and essentially the extra 3 inches of stuff that shows up at the bottom of every page. The more stuff that is blocked, the faster a page loads.


To configure and personalize AdBlock Plus:
Once AdBlock Plus is installed, there will be a little red icon in the toolbar (address bar) at the top of the browser page. Click on that. A pop-up box for AdBlock Plus shows up. Scroll down and click on the blue box saying "Block element." Then use your cursor (mouse) to scroll around the page. You will see sections of stuff turning pink. (Sometimes it's huge sections and sometimes you can refine it further to just exclude a little section within the bigger section. Click on the pink area you want blocked. Do a PREVIEW. (You can later undo it if you want it back.) Repeat for every section/item you want blocked.

Sometimes you have to click on the same item and block it a second time before it disappears, as maybe there is an extra code or something that needs to get blocked. For the DIS ads at the bottom of the page, I had to click on each ad box separately, and possibly the larger section too, to finally remove them all.

I did this for YouTube too. There are usually suggestions for other videos to watch that appear near the end while watching a video. Those boxes often block the view of what's going on in the video. I blocked each suggestion box and now, they only appear as an outline of a clear box, to show there was something there and I can watch the whole video unobstructed.
