DIY Thaw

Post by ubergeekian »

In Chrome ...

Adblock icon -> Block an ad on this page -> click on one of the snowy wee b*st*rds -> don't bother about the slider, just choose "Block" -> OK.

Hey presto. No snow.

Click on the Adblock Plus icon to the right of the search box. Go down the list of blockable elements which appears and double click on the one ending snow.gif. When the dialogue box pops up, click "Custom" to block only snow.gif, then "Add Filter" at the bottom right. Job done.

HTH, HAND.

I found I had to close and reopen Bluemoment to get rid of the snow, otherwise it just kept falling.

Now does anyone know how to make gales and driving rain go away?

Find out where that sod Snook is hiding and send him back to England.

Well, I haven't got an Adblock Plus icon, so it looks like permanent snow for me :(

Bah, Humbug :( :(

Still got Amazon - just the snow that's blocked.

If you really want it on our screens just change to snow2.gif etc. until either you or us crack.

Do you have ads? Seriously? I don't think I've ever seen a single one. Sorry.
