I'm annoyed again!

Here's where I downloaded the adblock software - https://adblockplus.org

I wish I had a virtual gun to shoot down those shoes.

The shoes are there now, quick before they walk away!!!

Ah - I've just found the little grey arrow to get rid of the ads in the main bit on FB. Is there a way to get rid of the ones on the side?

nellie you`re a genius I have just managed to get rid of ads on FB though it was by moving the mouse onto the ad that I noticed a little x in the corner and it allowed me to remove not the down arrow.

If we hate the ads so much, why should we care that anyone makes money from inflicting them on us?

I downloaded adblock plus to my laptop and it switches off adverts. But then my children told me off because it then stops the people running the sites from making money from adverts. So sometimes I just switch it on when the ads get took much.

As I am writing here Cotswold Collections are changing their fashions screen by screen, not quite as annoying as the shoes but not far behind.

Nothing on my phone or kindle on GN or FB

I want to "add" my "ad" grumble - you know those ones that tell you how much longer you've got to endure them, as in "You can skip this ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 seconds..." I always think - if they know we all dislike them so much, why on earth do they bother, and then tell you how long before you can skip them? Daft.

I don't have ads of any sort on Fb., but then I installed the facebook app. so perhaps that's the reason. I looked all over for those shoes but not there. No moving characters on GN either. I have the feeling I'm missing out!

Morning all.

Just switched on and what do I see those awful walking shoes again.

Sadly [Nellie] there is no downward arrow by the toolbar to eradicate the walking pest on my IPad. I will check out my main computer to see if I can catch the little bu** that way.

(On FB that is)

My little grey arrow doesn't give that option - the only ad option is to create my own!

I have managed to stop a number of these ads on Facebook. If you look at the right of the screen where the title bar is, there is a grey downward pointing arrow.

If you click on this it will give you options to turn off all "ads" from that particular source. By clicking "I don't want to see this."

You have to tell them why you don't want to see this ever again. It seems to get rid of them quite effectively.

Try the grey arrow next time you get an advert.

Let me know if it works

I don't know about GN adds though. We don't want to get rid of too many of their adds or GN might go out of business.

The houses are OK. It's just those shoes...

What right side of the screen? Oh, that...I've never really noticed it until now. Good at blocking things out I don't want to see or hear. That's how I survive life.

Just noticed a row of little houses with ticks and crosses that come and go Best ignored.

Absolutely. They spook me out. I think it is something crawling across the screen Aagh!

You don't want to see those damn walking shoes that keep on...and on...and on...clomping away at the side of the screen! Go away, shoes!

I wanna see the shoes!

I haven't got anything like that. I think son might put some sort of blocker on here that does me out of interesting things.

That's why I stick to my mouse...

Give in to the tantrum, you will feel better!

And I thought I was the only one!
