Does anyone know how to stop the cursor blinking on the ads

Sat Dec 18, 2004 4:01 pm

Espiacially the looney toons one. I use Ie explorer 6.2800 and I get it in 1 ad per 2 neopets ads. It can get quite annoying if your playing neoquest, restocking(premium peeps have faster loading pages!) or even the new war and the ads make the site lag.

Btw do premium members also have the neopets' house ads erased?

Block the ads? I've blocked them in IE (including the white space), and they don't bother me anymore.

How do you block them in IE?

Norton Internet Security gets rid of the ads, but not the white space

To block in IE, open up Notepad. Copy and paste the following into it:

Code:: div.ban,div#ban { display: none !important; }

Save as a .css file and be sure it's somewhere you remember. (That's the most important.) I saved mine as neopets.css.

Next, open up IE. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Accessibility. Under "user style sheet", check off "Format documents using my style sheet." Next, Browse for your saved file. Click "OK". "OK" again, and then go to a Neopets page. It should disappear.

I found this method in the Neocolours forum. (But I saw it such a long time ago, the above is in my own words) Though the user who posted it has escaped my mind at the moment...

Does that get rid of the big white space at the top where the ad would be, or just the ad?

Yes, it does. Tis the only reason why I still haven't moved on to using Firefox.

Wow...thanks a lot winter. I am a member at Neocolours and they posted a way to do the same thing in Firefox, but it was much more confusing and I couldn't figure it out. Your way's really easy.

I would use that in an instant...however, I can't seem to save anything in Notepad unless it's a .txt file

It seems that way, but change the "Save as type:" to "All Files" and just make sure you put ".css" in the name you save it as (neopets.css, for example).

That is fantastic!

Thanks so much for the help!

*does the IE thing* Woaaah, sweet! It's gone! Thank you very much, winter! :3

Though be warned, this doesn't "block" the ads from loading. They still load (at least IE tells me they do). You just don't see them

you need to save it as a .txt file first, then make sure under your Tools> folder options (Check with any folder) View & uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.

then on the .txt file right click and rename the file extension part from .txt to .css
