    Wow, thanks. Now I don't have to deal with that stupid banner anymore. Easy to follow too, very nicely done. I don't use firefox so that part doesn't concern me, but nice job.

    It's working just fine for me... try getting the updated plugin... and make sure you turn adblock on

    You should try it... you get a complete adblock and there's also a nice little plugin called reloadevery which will stop you from have to constantly refresh

    Just a suggestion!

    :D

    Deathader... I don't have the top banner at all...

    Here's why... first...

    I have FF version 2 with the adblock plugin installed...

    Once you have this, go Tools >> Adblock >> Preferences

    Make sure in the top left corner "Enable Adblock" is checked.

    Now.. here's my list of Filters. If you click on Adblock Options you can import these filters

    Hope this helps!

    Here's the filters: (save as a text file and import into FF)

    http://imp.partner2profit.com/*
    http://images.neopets.com/sponsors/*

    http://images.neopets.com/*ads/*
    http://images.neopets.com/buttons/message*.swf
    http://images.neopets.com/buttons/*.swf

    That's it... and voila... the top box is gone... along with just about every ad I've found

    Well... that post was just to help you possibly fix your FF...

    I perfer FF to IE anyday for neopets just because of the adblocking capability of FF and all the extra plugins

    -just my two cents_

    BTW Death... that is the loading... gif

    [​IMG]

    add this to adblock and it'll be gone too

    Sorry WarlordShaft, I only use FireFox 2 for neopets. I find it much faster and easier to block all the ads on neopets with it.

    Check it out... it's free

    Firefox 2 is the best for ads.
    Get adblock pro and your set no more ads.
