Philipj Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Alright this is really making me mad. For some reason adverts that normally appear on the top of the browser when playing runescape are opening in new tabs. How can I stop this?

pepijn777 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Get Firefox and get Adblock Plus. That's against the rules: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... le_id=2396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloter Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Get Firefox and get Adblock Plus. That's against the rules: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... le_id=2396 I'm sorry but you don't get it. You want the pop up to go away but you don't want to block it. If you want it to go away you will block it. Jagex can't do anything if you block it. It is your PC not jagex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we are supposed to encourage rule breaking on these forums, but ya at least get mozilla if you don't already have. And as far as the adds being in another tab...thats good because they won't lag you if they aren't on the screen(usually, except when it initially d/l the ad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am i really rule breaking telling him to get Adblock Plus. Is it a crime to have it installed and go to RuneScape.com? If that is the case Jagex is going to lose alot of money. I'm serious jagex like mind warps all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDaStudd Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That rule is the only one I don't understand how they can enforce/monitor. The only methods they can use could easily be bypassed or get false readings. If there monitoring by whether or not your viewing the ad; What about if your at a cyber cafe or other monitored place which blocks such ads? What if you don't have flash installed or can't install flash? What about people with download caps? etc, etc There are too many variables for it to be a valid/enforceable rule IMO. Before anyone says I'm encouraging others to break this rule or any other, I'm not. This is merely my view on this rule. If a mod feels they want to edit, delete or do anything to this post feel free.

Sbrideau Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Jagex does not monitor wether you have the ads or not. I played a really long time f2p having the ads blocked, and I still don't have any blackmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I used to have adverts blocked for a long time in f2p rs too, but that was a Norton feature that was seemingly removed during a 'upgrade' at one point, and I didn't know how to turn it off at the time. Theoretically they have know way of knowing, unless you tell them directly or mods are reading these forums :ohnoes: "In the beginning, the universe was created.

Denismage Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It's either Adblock Plus on Firefox or Privoxy on any other browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's against the rules: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... le_id=2396 Jagex has no way of telling if you block ads. Adblock plus is great for firefox. You shouldnt use IE anyway, way slower/ laggier IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really gives you a nice boost if you have an old machine or slow internet. "In the beginning, the universe was created.

D. V. Devnull Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 <<<Quote Snip>>> Anyway, I'd second getting Firefox with ABP. Really gives you a nice boost if you have an old machine or slow internet. I'll "third" that verdict. :ugeek: Also, as someone else said, the PC belongs to the user... Jagex has no right to dictate, period. Shame on them for even trying this disgraceful and disrespectful ploy. :shame: Which reminds me... In the last month or so, I remember there was someone who was allowing Jagex's Advert Server to send them adverts from third-party advertisers... Sadly, their computer ended up infected with viruses from those adverts, and they had to come to Tip.It's T&C Forum to get help on disinfecting. :( Philipj, if you decide to use AdBlock Plus with FireFox, I've tagged below all the filter lines needed to permanently stop 99% of the adverts from RuneScape/FunOrb, as well as cause the element in the page to disappear from the actual rendering... There is one advert type that you'll have to figure out how to filter without breaking a script or two in the page... And I can certify these will work until Jagex pulls something crazy again. :? [hide=ABP filter listing, click to view...]advert.runescape.com*banner.ws?size=301 advert.runescape.com*banner.ws?size=728 advert.runescape.com*banner.ws?size=729 advert.runescape.com*banner.ws?size=730 advert.runescape.com*banner.ws?size=734 advert.runescape.com*banner.ws?size=735 advert.runescape.com*banner.ws?size=738 runescape.com#div(class*=adframe) runescape.com#span(id*=vbUrl) runescape.com#div(id*=tb) advert.funorb.com funorb.com#iframe(id*=ad)[/hide] Make sure you read the ABP manual on how to insert these before you try to, unless you easily grip onto handling things like this. While these are good filters, if you make even one mistake, it can mess up the game applet's login/load sequence, and I would never want that happening to a fellow Tip.It'er/RuneScape'er. :anxious: Please post back if you need additional help with this. : ~Mr. "Master of 'Pre-Emptive Advert Murdering'..."

Nadril Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Just block the adverts. Jagex is a small java based company, they don't have the technology or man power to watch something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VARN Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Alright this is really making me mad. For some reason adverts that normally appear on the top of the browser when playing runescape are opening in new tabs. How can I stop this? What settings do you have for you tabs? Is runescape the only site this happens on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
