The title of the thread says "Blocking ads on TBN with Adware Plus...".
Your post says Adblock Plus
I'm guessing you mean Adblock Plus, not Adware Plus? :confused3:
I made an error in the title, mostly because someone here mentioned ABP, in another thread a few years back and I decided to try it, installed it and it ran until it didn't anymore, so I posed the question I wrote in the 1st post, seeking other's solutions/suggestions that they use for blocking ads. I missed that I wrote the title incorrectly, and it seems to bother you so much, so please change it to ABP in the title so no one else is egregiously misled. And I didn't expect to be vilified for wanting to block ads on this site. You, in particular chewed on me about the ads in my signature! Ha, look at your own before throwing mud at mine. You go further with videos and pics of your brand and include it in your Avatar too. BTW, I have no problem with you or anyone doing this. This is a way I am supporting TBN, by buying THOUSANDS of dollars of approved advertisers merchandise from Fite Rite and others named in my signature. My choice, and my RIGHT to buy from whom I choose, instead of buying like some sheep who if they see an ad they buy from it compulsively.
We get to post #11 before anyone attempts to answer your question with relative info, that being you're not running an Apple product, you are running Chrome, and you are running Adblock Plus.
'Relative info'? I suspect you mean: relevant info? I believe I said I was running ABP and Chrome in my 1st post of the thread; and if people have questions, 'friking ask. I can give all my laptop's specs in every post now, if it is a new requirement of TBN of which I am unaware?! Last I knew you were a moderator of TBN, so let me know if I'm wrong about that? Wouldn't your time be better spent if you were keeping rude and insulting/harassing posts and such off TBN, like #18 when the poster implies I'm 'stupid' because I don't know all aspects of ABP? BTW, stupid is where one maybe can't learn, (because of brain damage, etc.), whereas ignorant is a condition everyone has to some greater or lesser degree because no one knows everything about every topic known on Earth, and they can choose to learn, given the opportunity.
Post #16 you say you have solved the issue, but you don't mention how you've done that. It would be nice to share the info with the folks that tried to help you, and for future people looking for a solution to that same problem.
Yeah it might be nice to do a lot of things, but I'm not inclined to do so, especially for the flack I took for posting this thread. TBN has become, more and more posters hammering on an OP for any reason that comes to mind, even if it contributes NOTHING to a thread, and in fact, IMO it is the rule more often than not. I'm sick of it, and I know many others are too- yet they feel powerless to get things back on track. I, on the other hand am not afraid to speak out against the darkness of very angry members; and let TBN know that those who regularly use this site like it a lot; yet are way disappointed with what it's become. I used to write in the 'friendly politics' forum, but long ago gave up doing so- because there is no decorum, no civility and it's just angry 'know it alls' who blast everyone else until they leave or give up. It's become unfriendly for a very long time now, years in fact.
FWIW I feel that part of TBN should be dropped permanently.
Seems Muhammed had to put a strongly worded ultimatum out to those who were involved in that forum; straighten up or be banned forever, no questions asked. I for one support that decision. And so I protest my treatment in this thread, and how it's been handled.
Post 14 precisely details the answer to remove the "unintrusive ads" at the top . I implemented it and got rid of them. Which was the exact question CM asked, but apparently glossed over. It looks like I am the only one that benefited from this thread. Woo Hoo for me.
I did not gloss over anything- read what I wrote above. And you don't know what I'm thinking, so refrain from suggesting you do. BTW, I benefited from select poster's answers which were what I was seeking- after filtering all the background noise out- for which there was way too much of same.
