I use firefox at work to restock, and it works just fine, especially once I start adblocking things left and right.

I suggest going here to learn how to configure firefox/mozilla. The exact buttons aren't the same, but once you figure out what preferences tab is where, you're doing the exact same thing:

Thank you!! I had them blocked, but still had the space at the top.

Alright I'm going to try out Firefox. You guys talk about blocking ads and I'm getting jealous, and frustrated so I'm going to give it a shot.

Thanks for that website Shapu! I needed something like that to help me.

Thank you so much for posting those instructions, Xiser! I am now enjoying a blissfully ad-free neo experience.

I managed to get rid of the top ad, but the bottom one is still there. I must have messed something up when I was following the instructions.

Edit: I think I'm starting to figure it out. ^_^ I really like firefox so far.

I've never seen them in IE or Firefox - whatever I had set up before blocks this too. I got a full HOSTS file to block the ads and used the css someone posted here a while back for IE. Firefox's adblock works great.

BUT nothing happens most of the time when I click a link now -.- If I click it repeatedly it will finally work. Are these ads slow loading and do they load before Neopets content? Is that why I'm having a hard time navigating the site?

I loooooooove Neopets. I play every day. Last night and today it is soooooooo frustrating not being able to click on a link and be taken to the page I want, that I give up.

Bleh!

Someone said there is an ad for male enhancement? What the heck? Who saw it?

'Cause if there is, you should report it to Adam.


And guys, don't be so hard on TNT.

Excuse me?
Don't be hard on them?
Normally i'm all for not picking on them, but there is a line, and they've crossed it. The adds have more then likely been reported, but they have yet to stop.
This is a childrens site. Adds like this are COMPLETELY inappropriate. Considering that TNT has tried to shut down various fan sites for simmilar adds such as this, I don't think it's fair that they run them themselves.
They deserve to be picked on right now. They deserve to hear what the members here, and what the players of the site have to say to them about these adds.
They need a good kick in the keister right now for what they're doing.

Edit: And I think you should note that PPT is a SAFE PLACE where people can complain if they want too. Not everything in Neopets runs smoothly, and here on PPT, it's a safe place for people to complain on. No one should be told to stop by other members unless whats being said is unfair, and on that note, if you feel whats being said is innapropriate, rather then saying it yourself, it's always wise to PM a mod about it and verse your feelings that way, rather then telling a whole thread to stop.

I think that right now, after reading both threads, there is only one word that I can find to sum this all up.


Pathetic.

We're patehtic or TNT is pathetic?

I can MAYBE understand the need for more ads (I don't like it, but I can understand why they would want to have more ad space), but what I don't understand are the ads themselves. Can't someone go through the ads before they're put up on the site?

Tnt Do you honestly think I would insult all you...ermmm....


very scary people with pitchforks


Lovely people

Ugh. I just got Mozilla... And I signed the petition.

Thank you to everyone who has signed so far. It's only been up a few hours, and already we have 26 signatures! Hopefully I can get one of my friends on staff to give me an email to send it to when we're done. I'm going to work on banners to spread the word, and ask a few people about putting links on their sites.

Go project pillsbury! Eliminate those bad BAD ads!
