These ads become more invisible every day. I know they are there but my mind is focused on other things so I don't pay any attention to them.

Doesn't get much easier.

I think they've found a way around that. I now see the banners again. I've updated it but no luck and currently don't have the "block" option on the banners. Either a setting has changed in FF over the past two weeks or they've gotten clever. Time to try something else.

EDIT*** This thread does serve as a useful tool to update FF by right clicking on the banners and adding them to the definitions. When on ssssssllllllllloooowwwwwwwww hotel internet connections it greatly increases speed to get rid of the banners.

Glad to help, ToiletDuck.

(I wasn't looking for information about the conference, I was looking for the ad on the APC website. )

It links to the advertising page.

I thought it was too good to be true, about NoScript or AdBlock being able to work permanently. Hopefully the cleanup process of right clicking on new ads to add their new definitions or locations to NoScript will not be all that frequent. I hate advertising and will definitely be driven away from APC if it becomes too difficult to suppress all these ads. I have already greatly reduced my time here because of the ads, since my work computer does not have ad suppression.
