Aren't they only there if you aren't logged on? Either way, I'm pretty sure I adblocked them..

I ad-blocked those a long time ago. But I find it kind of funny Fix-Linux.exe. What??:lolflag:

the Windows home server ad is funny too....

Again, Konqueror has adblock?

Strange. I don't have an adblocker installed and yet I've never seen any ads even when not logged in...

Edit: Doh! I forgot that I have them blocked via my /etc/hosts file. :oops:

I voted for item 4. I haven't even seen the ads. Probably blocked by SF2.

You can see the ads in the screenshot in my opening post in this thread.

adblock is a FF extension. i've never heard of it for konqueror.

adblock is a FF extension. i've never heard of it for konqueror.my jabber links I have set up to open in Konqueror by default.....never noticed the ads till today

again I am well aware the adblock extension in Firefox but this does nothing for those who don't us Firefox, the question is does Konqueror have a adblock plus-like extension?

Fine by me. I'll just leave adblock on.

:lolflag: I never noticed that Ubuntuforums had ads until I saw your screenshot. Funny ads though, some of them don't make a lot of sense to put on this site, such as the Windows server ad.

I think they're great. People who aren't members but want info help raise ca$h for the forums. I think that's a fair trade.

I've never noticed the ads, I guess I've been using adblock for too long. :)

And yes, Konqueror has adblock (at least it does in Kubuntu- you might have to install an extra package if you're using Ubuntu). Just go to Settings->Configure Konqueror->AdBlocK Filters->Enable.

AdBlock Plus works just fine, thank you. I have no objection whatsoever to ads that I don't see. :)

I dont recall the last time I saw ads online...

Firefox + noscript + adblock plus = clean internet. I guess its the IE users who pay for the internet by seeing ads now....

Where are the ads suposed to be ? I use firefox come to think of it we all use it so how will we ever see ads ,or maybe I'm thinking about popups. Either way I don't see any.

I didn't even know the forums had ads... I guess Adblock + Adblock Filterset.G have spoiled me ;)

I never knew this place had ads. I guess Adblock Plus blocked 'em all...

Whenever ads are mentioned, two quotes from Bill Hicks spring to mind:

1: "If you are in marketing or advertising, kill yourself."

and

2: "Xxxx Xxxxxx xxxx!"
