I did a google search, and found a guide on NNN (but the code was orginally written by A PPT Forum member)

Hopefully that helps!

You can also get rid of the bottom ads but it's kinda complicated, someone had a freewebs page explaining how to do it but I can't remember the address. You have to add the urls of the offending ads to your HOSTS file. If you do a search for 'blocking ads using hosts file' then you'll probably find a page with instructions, then just add the neopets ads urls to the end of the file.

I used a hosts file from someones website, and that blocked all the bottom ads.
But, now I just get a "Cannot be Displayed" box.

How can I hide this?

It's obvious that people don't know that these are worth (being only desired by gallery owners does make even the rarest item HTS) and that is why most people have no price listed.
