Mapmyrun.com Question (Read 1707 times)

As for the Adblock, no offense but this is a clear cut case of OE ( Operator Error ). Adblock is software, not some psychic gremlin that lives in your computer. It's a complex filtering system that, if used as is, will be handy but not nearly as effective as it will if you put in like 12 seconds a day for a week to tune it. It uses constantly updated filters to block known ads. The problem there is that it's impossible to keep up with the volume of ads on the internet. The beauty of it is that you can tune it by expanding the filters based upon your own browsing habits. Sounds tricky, I know. But it's really simple. All you have to do is when you run into an ad online, right click the ad and then click Block. The ad is automatically added to the adblock filter. But wait, there's more. Adblock will also go through the vast amount of information contained in a typical .gif or .jpg and begin building rules to not only block that ad in the future, but to also block other ads from that company / designer. Plus... it will also build rules based upon placement and add those to the filters as well. This way, if you go to say, mapmyrun.com, and there is an ad just below the header you simply block it. Now you never see that ad again. Plus, you are much less likely to never see an ad from that company again. Plus, if the site simply replaces the ad with a new ad from another company, you won't see that one either because adblock now knows that mapmyrun places ads just below the header so it will scrutinize anything in that area very closely. Literally, it took me less than a week to get to the point where I simply never see ads anymore. You will be amazed at how few ads you have to block manually before the software simply shuts them all out.

They were just superimposed (underimposed?) on the existing interface elements rather than placed in space created alongside them.

as the old man walked away, I heard him say "what the f&#* is superimposed"
