A Question about blocking Adverts....
« on: November 29, 2010, 03:28:45 pm »
.
I've recently installed Adblock on my browser and it reports blocking 135 items on this page for example, and often around 40 items on the other pages of this site.

What I don't understand is that I thought there weren't any adverts on this site at all  :confused:. Is it also blocking links to other sites? If so, they can be easily individually allowed.

So I'm curious what's going on...........

I've got adblock plus and it tells me 0 out of 137 items are blocked on this page. They all happen to be images/smileys.

There's nothing about popups. Are you sure it's not your browser/system?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Silly me!! Being an Adblock Plus newbie I missed the "0 out of 137" part and just saw the 137 blocked. Duh!

I'm fortunately still seeing smilies etc.
