 Hi this is mainly for the admins... though i have emailed an admin about it, i'm not sure who i should email..lol

so here's the story i started a forum on invisionfree a few days ago and am working at the CSS

of course there are ads at the top. look above right under the YUI-banner picture.



But i realized i can get rid of it altogether. :good Though i'm not sure if we will get in trouble for it.

Using my web developer toolbar, i found out what the class and element the ad is located within. I checked hte html source code.


This is what it says:



<div><div><div class="row4">(ad goes here)</div></div></div>



Basically, the ad is located within three divs. two of which have no ids or classes. In order to get rid of the ad, you would have to target row4. But row4 is located throughout hte forum and changing it will change the entire forum, and mess it up.

So what i did was target that specific ad div in CSS.



div div .row4{display:none;}



So basically any .row4s within two divs will have display:none which means its not visible. And i believe there is only one instance of anything within two divs with row4 as its class. Iuno if this is true with YL. Because YL is a more complicated design? if there are row4s within two divs than ignore this post.

But effectively, this targets the ad div specifically and eliminates it altogether HAHAHAHA

SO MUCH for paying for ad removals!=P

:sry I don't know if that's any help, or if you would like to do that, but if you would like to get rid of ads, do that! :clap


(But if this site is fully customizable, can you edit the HTML? If you can, just give the divs an id and target it specifically. But the admins would know best)

 i looked at the YL source codes, and well... it's pretty weird coding no offense hahaha. there are so many tables and even a huge table cell to enclose the entire forum.. u could just do that with a div, which is more valid and current coding standard.. anyway!

i think... i think...there are row4s in the body of the forum, that are enclosed within two or more divs.. which defeats my idea. someone check this to verify.

HOWEVER. if you can edit HTML and this is a fully customizable site, i recommend getting the code cleaned up, like removing the extra table and table cells thats uncessary like.. you need tables for the actual forum and posts and stuff but enclosing hte layout in tables is not a good idea.

If it is cleaned up a bit i think its possible to implement the div div row4 CSS idea to remove the ads

Well if you can change the HTML, then an alternative, and easier way is just to give the ad's div an ID and just say in the CSS ID {display:none;} lol

stupid ads. having to go through tons of code just to take them out. haha

but its funny how u can get around it without paying...

 bumping this thread because I want to make a comment.

I find the ads make the forum look unattractive. Hmm... I wish we could get rid of them.

 They're necessary, Arashiro, I suppose that's the price we have to pay for having Zetaboards. But you can block them with Firefox.

 yeah.. it would be nice to get rid of all the ads but we have the chance of having zetaboards shut us down.

better not take the risk

 yea that kind of CSS is possible, but it also can have unwanted side effects

the reason we don't do it is because its against the rules

and we have *secret* project that eliminates this anyway

just use AdBlock in Firefox or Chrome. both work great

 Hey, YL admins,

I don't know if you guys know this, but it actually is possible to get rid of the ads. There's an Ad Removal section in the admin control panel. You just have to pay for it...

But I'm pretty sure that there are some YL members who would gladly pay for it.

The best part about it is that you can choose which groups see ads and which don't. For example, you can enable ad removal for all the registered members but disable it for guests. That way the ad removal credits aren't wasted on the guests.

What do you guys think?
