How do I stop it coming into nauseating life every time my cursor comes within a mile of it and chip chip chipping away at my soul?

    Don't know but I ended up with music blaring out yesterday in work and trying to work out where it had come from!

    I've invested time in configuring Ad blockers on Firefox (including the hidden links they don't think you can find). I can't remember how many Ads there are on bikeradar (just know there were lots) because I haven't seen them for months.

    Nothing motivates like excess :)

    Interesting side note. This site scans your entries and will substitute its own text into your message. In this case the name of a well known Ad-Block(er) with the following:
    **Nobody likes ads but they pay for the site so please have the class not to whine about them**
    .

    Quite classy really:

    Cut-and -paste editing from the vendors pamphlets, which is then pawned off as journalism. Sorry folks, they aren't reviews they're.....a fail.

    Interfering with an individual's post. I love the irony :roll:

    Saturation advertisement to the point where there is more advertisements than anything. And the next largest contribution are the user forums :roll: Even an apathetic b*****d like me was sufficiently motivated to do something about it.

    Bikeradar criticising anyone else based on "class" .... not very classy :shock:

    that t-mobile ad is well out of order. Get rid of it .
    The rest can stay.

    It's ironic really, T-Mobile are messing up other less-intrusive adverts by driving people to look for blocking software. The consumer will probably put up with less-obtrusive ads without a second thought, make it too blatant and unsubtle, and we all go looking in the Firefox and Chrome extensions. I reckon that other advertisers have good cause to be hacked off about T-Mobile.

    It's an annoying ad isn't it? Stupid T-Mobile.

    I installed the QuickJava add-on for Firefox, which allows me to switch Javascript, Flash and other stuff off temporarily. After doing that the ad can be targeted with an Adblock Plus filter (another Firefox add-on) to block it, then I can turn Flash or whatever back on.

    Sorry BikeRadar, I know these ads are for income, but that one was particularly offensive because the soundtrack switched back on every time the cursor rolled over it, despite there being a check box to turn it off – I don't mind it happiening first time round but once switched off the sound should stay off.
