Does anyone else who blocked neopets ads now see a yellow bar with flashing stars at the top? I blocked ads with this guide from jellyneo, it use to work but now I see flashing stars at the top. :(

Quote:
For IE:
Open Notepad (or your HTML-Editor) and paste the following in there:

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

Save the file as neopetsadblock.css or something like that. Remeber where you put the file.

Open IE, go to Tools> Internet Options> Accessibility under the General tab. Check the "format documents using style sheet" box and browse for the file you saved as css. Press okay, and restart IE. Just do that and your done. :)


Is there any way to block the flashing stars in IE? I think Adblock only works in Firefox, and I use IE.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a yellow bar, but the flashing start are a bit annoying. :(

It's a pretty smart idea on their part. It stops adblockers!

I don't know about IE, but in Firefox, adding
http://images.neopets.com/loading_acp.gif
To the list of blocked images works (if you have ABP)

Yeah I see it too. I'm using Adblock Plus for Firefox.

On a side note, I just reached 1 mil for the first time on Neopets :D

If you're using Firefox, you can get Adblock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/).

Once you install it, right click on the image and click "Adblock image..." then press OK.

Despite doing all this I'm still getting a big old block of color at the top of my screen (have done all steps, added the new filter, have adblock plus etc). :x

If it looks like a big yellow (or whatever color your sidebar theme is) rectangle, that's normal. Unless you have premium, I don't think there's any way to get rid of it.

In Adblock Plus (install it first) add:
http://images.neopets.com/loading_*.gif
to remove the stars and
#div(ban_spacer)
to remove the empty, coloured space where the banner would popup.

It works fine :)

PS: got this information after reading http://adblockplus.org/en/filters#elemhide_basic

Yes, the stars are new. Thankfully it's so easy to block them. *hugs Adblock*

I didn't know you could hide the block of color too. It never really bothered me, I'm used to it, but I've started blocking it now, thanks allnameswereout! I'm so used to it that now neopets looks odd without it though, lol!

Up until today I haven't seen it at all, and I don't have premium, so I don't know what was up with my settings before (I have Firefox) but something has been changed.

From today's news:

Quote:
Site Update! - You may have noticed a loading graphic has started to briefly appear at the top of the page where the ad banner should be. We're currently testing some new code that forces the banners to load after everything else, meaning there's no more waiting before you see the page. Hoorah! The test should last for a few days, so please bear with us. :)

Just add #ban_spacer {display: none} to the end of your code
