samg Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Can someone explain what the dude means? Empty space left by filtered ads collapsed? 586547959[/snapback] i assume it means ... ...Firefox would block a ad but just leave it as a white space, but he wants the white space removed, therefor allowing more space for content.

ctomer Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'm using Firefox with adblock, and my ads collapse. I'm not left with any white space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp10558 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Maybe there is a CSS you used to use that did this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nookadum Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Is there a similar way to do this... Firefox would block a ad but just leave it as a white space, but he wants the white space removed, therefor allowing more space for content. Adblock extension for Firefox does this quite well. ... in Opera 8.50? Adblock is possibly one of the best extensions for Firefox, and I'm hoping someone would tell me how I can mimic this using Opera without installing some seperate 3rd party program. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use a combination of filter.ini and the adblock.css to remove lots of ad's. You can also add an entry to the right click menu to automatically add new entries into the filter.ini. IIRC there is also a way of adding entries to the adblock.css too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villiansv Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 here's my user.css file - it collapses most ads and also replaces any flash with a black box saying flash in it (clicking th ebox loads the flash image). put it anywhere on your computer, go to tools-prefs-advanced-content, click style options, point to the user.css file under "my style sheet", set default mode to "user" and put a checkmark under user mode to use "my style sheet". you're all set. user.css Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhangm Supervisor Posted December 31, 2006 Supervisor Share Posted December 31, 2006 If it is a CSS that is responsible for collapsing the elements, then I would think it would consist something of: #ad1, .ad2, .ad3, #ad4, etc { display: none; } It is the display: none; part that causes the element to vanish from the layout. If you want to preserve the structure of the document, i.e. not collapse, then you'd use display: hidden; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameMaster90 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have a problem: Whenever I visit GMail, it does not load. I have to unload the CSS file in order for it to display properly, otherwise, I just get a white screen. Could it be possible to make the Flash box clickable, for example, on YouTube.

I've been using these for a while.http://my.opera.com/Lee_Harvey/blog/show.dml/50754 I've tried putting those two scripts in my own userjs folder and enabled javascript, but I still get big white unused space :( example: when I look at http://dogan.deviantart.com/ , I still see a big white rectangle where the ad is supposed to be.

HighwayGlider Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I've tried putting those two scripts in my own userjs folder and enabled javascript, but I still get big white unused space :(example: when I look at http://dogan.deviantart.com/ , I still see a big white rectangle where the ad is supposed to be. On that DA page, right click on a blank space on that page. From the context menu, select "Edit site preferences", from the dialog that pops next, select the "Display" tab. Make sure that "Enable inline frames" is unckeched. The result will be instant. 2nd edit: Well, thinking about it, the javascript files work as they should. The solution above will work, try it and you wont see that white space... but thats not the way ads should be blocked. Some sites use inline frames to put useful info in them, not just ads. Looking at that DA source, you can see that contents of that inline frame are from h**p://devart.adbureau.net/hserver/blablabla Here's how you need to do it: - On Opera menubar, click on Tools -> Advanced -> Blocked content. - Add http://*.adbureau.net/* to the list. - Then delete private data (it will clear Opera cache). - Go to the DA page again. - Tadaa BTW the option "Enable inline frames", leave it checked.

Dogan Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Oh okay. I'd just blocked the image, and not the whole source. Did as you described (without having to delete Operas cache), and it worked. Thanks P1R4T3 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
