- or anywhere!
I find these things flickering around at the edge of my vision really annoying and distracting!

Anyone joining me?

I have Adblock and don't have any ads.... but I have to remember to turn them off when I go on to Quidco to order stuff nice things that I don't really need

Ana Wed 01-Apr-15 18:13:26

Looks like you've cracked it then, Alie, despite no icon!

Sorry you're still having problems, loopy...

Ipad definitely not playing ball.....

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 18:04:23

No icon.

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 18:03:01

No, not so far - but I see some blank gaps!

Ana Wed 01-Apr-15 17:33:06

Have you still got ads on other sites, or your home page?

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 17:28:02

It seems to have worked - but I don't know why I thought of clicking on the ad!

Ana Wed 01-Apr-15 17:23:10

Alie, I have IE but see you have Firefox so settings may be different.

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 17:22:29

I rightclicked on one of them and then on a line that said 'Enable Adblock plus' - and they've gone.
But why wasn't it enabled anyway????

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 17:20:21

I've got two from FMP. No thanks Adblock!

feetlebaum Wed 01-Apr-15 17:18:19

Apparently there are 6 ads on this page, of which I can see damn-all! Thank you Adblock...

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 17:11:18

I went in and ticked the 'enable' square...but it seems it isn't?

Ana Wed 01-Apr-15 15:56:22

Hmm...are you sure it's enabled? My icon only appeared after I'd done what I said last night.

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 15:35:14

No icon - why not?

Ana Wed 01-Apr-15 12:59:42

Have you got the Adblock icon showing, Alie?

I've had absolutely no adverts since I enabled mine.
TBH I'm now missing Helen Mirren a bit...tbuhmm

AlieOxon Wed 01-Apr-15 12:48:55

I had none five minutes ago and now Bathstore has come up.....

Lots there on my earlier session....and I have Adblock enabled....

Katek Tue 31-Mar-15 22:48:54

Thanks Ana-will try that first and see how it works for me.

Ana Tue 31-Mar-15 22:40:48

Mine was a free download, Adblock Plus - I wouldn't pay for it.

Katek Tue 31-Mar-15 22:37:12

Has anyone bought premium Adblock or is basic app sufficient?

AshTree Tue 31-Mar-15 21:09:19

Oh I'm glad you found the problem Ana - and hope others will be able to get it sorted now you've pointed them in the right direction!

Ana Tue 31-Mar-15 20:49:06

And the icon is showing at the bottom of the page, for some reason, but at least it's there! tbugrin

Ana Tue 31-Mar-15 20:44:42

Aha! I think I've fixed my problem with Adblock.

Although it had been installed OK, it hadn't been 'enabled' for some reason. If you go into 'manage add-ons' and view all add-ons, if Adblock is listed but 'disabled' right-click to enable it.

AlieOxon Tue 31-Mar-15 20:44:07

Grump.

AlieOxon Tue 31-Mar-15 20:43:54

I've still got ads.

My glasses seem to be very strong, rose These days I even struggle with large font (i.e. headlines) without my specs!

(And that, M'Lud, is the case for the defence)
