    I'm guessing most people who find it annoying already have the Nick bar blocked, but for a while now while using Adblocker there's been an annoying blank space left at the top of the screen, courtesy of Neopets now creating a div banner to be, in the words of their own programmers (in the form of a CSS comment):

    So. Without further ado, a quick tip on how to block these two annoying banners:

    Firstly, you need Adblocker installed. There are already plenty of guides on this site (and sunnyneo, for that matter) on that; searching the site or googling is your friend. :yup:

    Next -

    Click on 1,

    Then copy/paste this into 2 to block the Nick bar:
    Code (Text):
    1. #div(brand-mamabar)
    And add another filter and copy/paste this into 2 to block the banner ad space:
    Code (Text):
    1. #div(ban)
    Simple enough, eh? ;D

    Thank you! I was too lazy to figure out how to get rid of the nick. banner.

    I've been using this for the blank ad space and it works the same:
    Code (Text):
    1. neopets.com###ban
    Code (Text):
    1. neopets.com#div(id^=ban)
