Why are we getting Google ads in threads??????

[whos2kno]

i think if your getting Viagra and jock itch ads you might need to go see the doctor for a shot.

Normally with Ad Blocker, it asks permission to show the pop-ups.
I haven't seen that option with the Goggle ads.

Nevermind.

Don't want you to pout.

[O.S.O.K.]

To the OP: I just figured it was to pay the bills.

1) Use Firefox
2) Get addons called Adblock Plus and Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper
3) Block Ads and unwanted frames

Wrong way of thinking on Guns Network. How are you celebrating when most of the advertising is gun related, just curious as to how this does not help????

This is revenue will help keep the prices down for the advertisers.

Pay attention, slacker.
We're discussing the Google ads.

Maybe shut down the ad blocker and pay closer attention the google ads are gun related....

I went to the ad block feature earlier today.
There is no reference to Google in it.
I have no way to unblock it that I know of.

I'm fine with the banner with sponsor ads on top, those are convenient links to places that I probably visit already, and good reminders to check up on new gear and sales.

To me, the google ads, not so much. Right in the middle of threads, its kind of like commercials (which I fast forward through when I record things on TV), you don't really want it there.

Ok, did some reading at Mozilla.
I have found and unblocked the Google ads.

Still nothing showing up on my screen.

I'm using Firefox and they're showing up for now too. Saw them over at Ozzie's place to

Under Tools / Add-ons, find "Adblock Plus" and install that into Firefox. No more annoying ads.

(or try this link - should do the same thing): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...xpi?src=search

Firefox will pop-up a warning saying "Prevented from installing software" and there's an "Allow" button upper right corner. Click the allow button to install Adblock.

Not only that, but the Google shit doubles the load time for a page here. Look at your status bar when you open a page and the last thing that finishes after a minute or so of loading is "google adsense".

Ah thanks, love links way easier. Not a big bother for me here right now but these are showing more so just may push that button

Strange and sad that "some members" are complaining about the owner trying to keep this site up and running after "some members" were saddened when the site was off line for several months.

If these ads pay for the bills and keep the site afloat, I think it is great. Not to mention them being firearm related...

What kind of gun ads are they? What companies?

I take it back, I just got an ad for an Obama-motors Dodge!!!

Thanks for the heads up on the Element Hider. I didn't have that one installed and some text and IFrame ads were able to sneak through. It's kinda embarrassing to close a window and see that another window called "Barely legal teen sluts" was hiding underneath!

(edit to add): WOW the element hider is awesome! It's actually a great companion to Firebug... it shows the name of any highlighted element and it's parent nodes! Awesome!

One way to stop that is don't go to a porn site first.
