Er... sorry if this doesn't really belong here, since it's more of a general browsers question, but I am specifically trying to block the ads on Neopets.

So I've tried adding the stuff that I have in Adblock for Firefox into the blocked content for Opera, but the ads are still showing up. I don't really know my way around Opera yet, so I can't figure out how to block things.

If you right click and go to edit site preferences, click display and change the style sheet to the one that blocks ads it mostly works. There is a few google ads and flash ads that it doesn't block though.

If you right click again and click block content, you can block some of the ads that come up by holding shift and clicking on the ad. Still, it doesn't block google ads and a few of those pesky flash ads.

But I don't know how to make or get a stylesheet like that.

And clinking on things for block content doesn't seem to work for the top ads. And doing that I'd have to block every single ad individually, that really sucks. In firefox I just put in (for example) http://images.neopets.com/ads/* and it will block all ads in that directory. Just a couple of lines added to AdBlock and I never see a single ad on Neopets. Firefox is so much easier.

div.ban,div#ban, #ban, .ban, #ban_spacer { 
display: none !important; 
}

This one works, the same sorta thing as internet explorer.

Thanks! That got rid of the top ad.
But is there a way to get rid of the one just under the search bar on the sidebar?

I added #bottomban to the list of blocked things and it seems to work to keep the bottom ads from being viewed. The sidebar ad is a little harder to get rid of since it doesn't have it's own div id in css.

Edit:
Wait... Firefox is very simiar to opera, but the ad blocking is in a different spot. Remember the content blocking option that you did on the neopets website? When you go to content blocking on any neopets page, go to details on the top bar, and add these sites. (found on the jellyneo ad block list)

Not only does it block the css, but doesn't let the images load) So super fast browsing for opera users.

mogster, that's what I did the other day, but it wasn't working. But today I did it again, adding back in everything, and it's working. Thanks!
