Switch to ABP - it's a lot better.
It has a nice "easy filter" which let's you say "never show this image/div/span again" which is really handy with some sites.
Not this one or CP, obviously...

That does sound useful for sites that start auto-playing video and whatnot, but it looks like they still don't have ABP for IE, which I still use more than I use Chrome.
The hosts file has worked fairly well for me, but here is what I have just done:
- Grabbed the latest hosts file from the site I linked to above.
- Modified the hosts file to not block ad.doubleclick.net.
- Re-enabled AdBlock on my IE and set it to not filter CP and RA.
Now I am seeing the ads here and still have most stuff blocked on other sites even if AdBlock fails me when opening a link in a new tab/window. If I also install AdBlockPlus on Chrome, I guess it will all be just peachy.

Hi OriginalGriff,
Not in Chrome Version 27.0.1430.0 dev-m you can't. I'm using AdBlock Plus 1.3.4, from adblockplus.org: a standard-click drops down a little box with nothing in it that does not respond to mouse or keyboard input. Context-clicking on the icon brings up a tabbed interface for setting preferences, in which you can manually enter domains (not url's) to be "whitelisted."
Perhaps this interface/behavior difference from what you describe is due to this being a Chrome beta ? Who knows.
yours, Bill

1.3.4 is the version I am using with Chrome 25.0.1364.152 m so it may be a beta problem - worth reporting?

Hi OriginalGriff,
I have had one response to my post on the ADBlock Plus' user-forum about this issue: [^].
And, the person responding is also, evidently, the author of the kind of default block-site list for ADBP, named "EasyList." So that's giving me an opportunity to ask him about the entry in the "EasyList" of CodeProject.com:
||codeproject.com^*/adm/
I was also going to send a report to Google, but I notice the Chrome dev version is about to update, again, and I wanted to query ADBP first, partly because of discovering the listing of CP in "EasyList."
yours, Bill

Bets on if you get a sensible response?

Can I just say that whoever decided the micro USB 3.0[^] form factor was a good idea should be slapped.
cheers

Please do.
Add a kick in the man-vegetables from me as well, if you'd be so kind.

What's your issue with it? Never had a problem myself.
|
|

I don't have a problem with it aside from the fact it's bigger and uglier than 2.0.
But hey, for the speed, it's worth it. 
|
|
|
|
|
How can it be "Micro" if it is bigger than a usb 2.0 ?
Also I thought a "Standard" 3.0 was supposed to fit into a 2.0
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure how it can still be "micro" either.
As far as "standard" 3.0 being backwards compatible with 2.0, yes it does fit. I can plug my 3.0 device into a 2.0 slot and use 2.0 speed, but I can also plug my 2.0 device into my 3.0 slot and use 2.0 speed. It works both ways.

great, I have not had a chance to try a 3.0 Item yet.

Trust me, it's a lot of fun.

I was kicked off CP but I can still access CodeProject.tv.
|
|
|
|

So you would like Chris to also kick you off that site. He can probably do that

No, I was just thinking since it was for beta testers on CP. Was suprised when it logged me in.
|
|
|
|
|
And why were you kicked from CP?
|
|
|
|
|
I believe[^] it was three posts in the Lounge. It seems a bit harsh to get kicked off for that.

He can always appeal to the Hamsters - but I must admit his posts didn't appeal to me!
|
|
|
|

I did not exactly bookmark the posts either

Sugs'n'bugs[^] - or you could ask Chris nicely here on RA in the equivalent forum: Sugs'n'Bugs RA[^] and save yourself setting up a throwaway to post the question.
No guarantees, but accounts have been reinstated in the past (you may have to promise to play nice, I dunno).

Thank you but I checked my email and I had already gotten a 'Welcome to CodeProject' message yesterday. Maybe that's a bug I wouldn't know and I was also given 300 points as well for joining (newsletters and sign up), probably its the same way 'those who shall not be named' got back on CP. However, CP does not allow you post any message without creating an account, so, I couldn't access Sugs'n'bugs while I was kicked. Good to be back though, thanks for your help.
