ATi ads are teh SUCK - EDIT: FIXED NOW, THANKS.

[TSDible]

I really do hope that this is a mistake!

That is quite annoying ... Seems out of place...

It really doesn't make me want to click on the ad anymore than before...

iframe { display: none !important;visibility: hidden !important;}

If you do not have a custom made userContent.css yet, make sure that you copy it to the right directory.

For 2K, it is C:\Documents and Settings\<NT login>\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\<this foldername will vary>\chrome

Restart mozilla, and you should have no more annoying iframe flash ads...

Any idea how to do this in Linux? I don't find anything called userContent.css on my system ... or any .css fiiles that appear to be related to Mozilla.
Thanks

well done with the Mozilla workaround!

i guess AT will have to go on my "Browse only with Mozilla" list until this ATI blight is gone.

/me goes out to buy something nVidia...

Well, if it was a ploy to boost subscriptions then it worked....I just re-established mine for 6-months (20$). I still have enough money left from my Radeon fund to buy a nice GF Ti4600, back to FS/FT.

i got a radeon 9700pro just when it was released when the only reference to it were reviews (thanks anandtech - yours was the final straw).

Now i am fed up with seeing rad9700 banners - do they think i will get another one for my p1 60mhz? wait - that doesn't have an agp slot

ati ads are still sucking...now I have to scroll past ads and stickies

 

[Jason Clark]

THat is an error the ad people will fix that.

Those ads were not supposed to be there. ATI gave us a bad tag for the advertisement and it messed up. The problem should be fixed now.

Cheers,

ergeorge:

~/.mozilla/<profilename>/<randomcharacters>/chrome/userContent.css

<profilename> is probably "default" - and the random characters are - random but there should only be one directory there anyways.

according to, http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/ns62/CCKDocs/profile_appx_cck.htm, this should just be in your /home directory/.mozilla

ANy way to block these types of ads with IE? I already tried tools > options > security and setting "launching programs and files in an IFRAME" to "prompt" but all these ads show up. While on the subject, I use Tweak-XP Pro to block ads and it allows me to block anythign from any address. I've tried right-clicking on GIF ads before and putting the domain into tweak-xp's block list, but it never seems to stop the ads? I dont mind the AT ones (now its fixed ) but some otherwise decent sites can be annoying.

Nope ... this is all I have:

[user@host chrome]$ pwd
/home/user/.mozilla/default/2uyrszyr.slt/chrome
[user@host chrome]$ ls -la
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 Dec 3 12:38 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 user user 4096 Jan 6 11:52 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 4518 Dec 3 12:38 chrome.rdf

No 'userContent.css'

All you need to do is create the userContent.css file and add the lines that BBWF posted to it. It should be placed in that folder, anyway.
