| Now that I've blocked that ad, I can see how often it comes up. On every page hit, a banner begins to appear there. With that image, the banner vanishes. Since I have no other banners blocked(here or elsewhere, I only got adblock for that one banner), I know that it must be blocking that one. |

| I didn't really notice it until I read this thread. Or maybe his eyes just don't exactly look like they're focused on me, I dunno. The ads weren't bugging me too much until everyone else here started complaining! :evil: :wink: :D Certain ads tend to grate on my nerves really badly. This is one of t... |

| First off, make sure you've restarted firefox after downloading and installing. Restart ALL windows of firefox, not just the current one. Second, right click and hit Adblock Image. What this does is prevents that particular image's address from being loaded in firefox. It will just leave a blank spa... |

| Yes, ads pay for upkeep, and as a web developer I respect the costs of maintaining a site, which is why I chose to only block that single image. No, they don't know when you block an image, and because of that, some sites are banning all Firefox users, because of the bandwidth wasted on users who ju... |

| Is anyone else really annoyed by the look on his face? I mean the ad that occasionally pops up on the left column. Black and white, for some movie called Billy the Kid, presumably about Billy the Kid, but I don't know. Gah! It's always there. Staring at me. Staring into my soul. Demanding I spill ou... |

Mixing up 'good' and 'well' bothers me a lot.
As does ending sentences with prepositions, but not so much when other people do it, but I try to avoid it as much as possible. |
