O.K., I give up. Why can't I "see" the ads? Is my computer too old and
crummy? Is my AVG firewall keeping them out? Do I not exist? I'm curious. I'd like to buy a clue....

6. I don't see any ads, either.

I am using Firefox and have added THIS CODE to my userContent.css file.

on edit: I am not using Adblock - the code I linked to seems to be blocking all the ads for now. :shrug:

7. Just wanted to see what was going on here
Never met a group of people who complained about NOT getting ads!

9. No complaints here!
Just trying to help out by posting another way to block ads for those who do not wish to see them. :D

10. I am "special" but I'm really not complaining. Believe me. I hope
the ads work out for DU but I will forego seeing them. I am just curious because my technology skills are limited and my computer is old and weak, so to speak. Thanks for dropping by. :hi:

11. Oh no, I was replying to flblu2, not you - no argument intended at all
with anyone!

I know a lot of people use Adblock with Firefox - it is one of the most popular extensions.

I just feel that I have enough extensions installed (around 25, last I checked), so this is just another way to block ads without installing yet another extension.

I have been using the ad blocking script for several years, and it still works wonderfully for all sites!
