Hiding Ads - 5/22/2011 8:18:04 AM

Anyone know how to hide the ads on the other side? I'm getting love notes from the Korean police, and I'd like it if the ads just didn't show up on my computer. I don't really want to be deported.

Can y'all help?

Thanks,
sunshine

Install that, and then you right-click the ad, select 'block image', and block the object. Ten seconds' work.

It also works on specific images, if you keep catching sight of a particular cock shot or whatever - it lets you pick how specific you want to be.

From what I gather from your original posting, and if you are located in Korea, AdBlocker only blocks them from showing on your webbrowser.  The data still gets requested from your PC and sent to your PC, which is where tracing would still show activity.

You would need a Popup blocker or AD Blocker that actually does an install or move to a secure VPN entirely.

Something like Super Ad Blocker on CNet's Download site I believe does the trick.

Just an FYI.

When without home internet, I have taken my laptop to the library to check mail, post on the boards, etc. My local library is quite small (no little private cubicles or anything), so I am at a table in the open. I would rather not offend someone who happens by and glances in my laptop's direction see images they don't wish to see.

At home, they seem much easier to just ignore, lol. I understand that it is CM's bread and butter, but having a "text only" option or something would be nice. It would be helpful to those with slow computers as well, since they wouldn't have to wait for all the pictures to load.

Since I usually have that bar open, I didn't even know the ads were there for quite a while.

Status: offline 		I hate the idea of not being able to send and receive cmail and such. What if I used something like hot spot shield to show me in the USA? Would that work (although I hate using the thing - it's a pain)....

THoughts?

And yeah, "not seeing" them isn't gonna stop the police from seeing them.

Maybe I should block Collarme? Is there a way to do that? I could go in, change my profile with a note that says "DON"T send me a c-mail....

But it's not like there aren't a bunch of people from Korea on there.

Grrrrr... If I hadn't gotten a BUNCH of Korean police mail recently, it wouldn't be an issue...

Maybe if you can find an offshore server to connect with then you'd be ok but I have no idea how to do that.

maybe that can help?

Nope. Not one bit. I'll leave the guidance on how to violate local laws to others, and hope she gets the needed advice in a private message.

Just a suggestion, as the proxy would show you to be in another country, you can use free proxis, they are a pain in the proverbial, or pay a bit, they tend to be a bit easier.

Just installed that for use with Chrome. Works a treat on those annoying pop-ups when I'm browsing for filthy pics in order to help with my daily sausage time. Cheers for the tip :-)
