Yieldmanager and Firstadsolution Boycott

(1/6) > >>

Penguino:
We have deemed some recent ImageShack (a free image hosting site) advertisements unsuitable for family viewing; however, we understand that it is widely used by many of you; thus, we cannot block the domain. Thus, we are leading a site-wide boycott of the advertisers responsible. To join the boycott, please follow these instructions:
[list=1]
[*] Open Notepad, found in Start > Programs > Accessories.
[*] Click File > Open... .
[*] Enter %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts as the filename.
[*] Add these lines to the end of the file:

--- Code: ---0 ad.yieldmanager.com
0 ad.firstadsolution.com
--- End code ---

[*] Save and Exit.
[*] To see if you've done this correctly, load the ImageShack page. You shouldn't see any ads.

Okay, I've done this, but I still get ads. Does this only make the innapropriate ads go away? :huh:

Penguino:
Hmm... try restarting your browser.

Yes, only the 'bad' ads go away.
