| I'm sure some of you have noticed the adverts under certain words such as "blocks" and I personally would rather them off. Is there any way that I personally can turn them off as they get in the way sometimes | |

| Ad's on the forums? If you use firefox, get an addon called AdBlock+. It removes ads from pages and even adjusts it so it doesn't even look like they are supposed to be there. I never see any ads anymore. | |

| Its why people will host forums and such for you for free. They give u the space and all but add adverts to pay for your resources and make a lil income. | |

| Do you mean that some of the words in someones post will be highlighted like a link and when you hover over or click on it an ad pops up? I've seen that on other forums but not here. I think the word it chooses is just random. Its not really safe to click on a link unless you know what you're expecting to find. So unless the post says here is a link to blah blah blah... dont click it. | |

| Well here is a link to a link to get Adblock Plus. I currently use it, works great. This is a page with some very good Plugins for Firefox. IF you never been on lifehacker before, its a awesome blog that puts out some good stuff.
