I can deal with days having flash player and there are lots of good buys on that ad but nights I will uninstall.

chachi, can you take the block off easily?? Glad it's working for you.

OOps I dont know about that sorry

If you don't see a stop sign next to your address bar, you can go to "tools" on the top of the screen and click on AdBlock. This will bring up a list of ads that are running on your screen (atleast it should) and you can right click to block them. For anyone that has to disable flash, are you using Explorer? You can always download Firefox since it is way better anyway.

Ugg! I can't get Adblock to work. It's saying Windows doesn't recognize the file. I'm going to ask my husband to help me tonight. I am definitely NOT going to disable my flash.

I have figured out a way to get YT working like it was before the ad change...I like many of you didnt want to uninstall flash on my comp so all I did was download firefox heres the website http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ Its like another Internet explorer but better
I downloaded it to my desktop and then double clicked on it and installed...it was really fast. I am on aol so instead of going on YT through aol I just open up firefox and do a search on that for YT. hope it helps!

Jenn218 · 10-10-2007, 12:48 PM

Thanks for that ^^above^^, but several times, I have downloaded something like this (not this particular thing) and it has messed up my other software I have installed...like my antivirus, etc....I do not know why. SO, right now, I am not comfortable downloading another thing on my computer.......((aurgh))....I guess I will have to cut my YT time down and suffer the time I am on here......(((cry)))

Im sorry that sucks. Firefox isnt like an ad blocker or spyware program. Its a tool searching site...actually uses google to look up the sites. I wouldnt want you to download something that messes up your comp, so i can understand why you dont want to. Just figured I would let you guys know what I did to fix the problem

and its back to normal now

Jenn218 · 10-10-2007, 12:56 PM

Oh, don't be sorry.....I am glad you posted it. I might actually try it...as I am so frustrated with that ad right now....AND if it messes up, it is your fault!! Hee,hee (JUST KIDDING)

BabyFidgette · 10-10-2007, 01:21 PM

I have FireFox AND I have fast cable modem. I feel SO bad for people with dial up or DSL (a little slower than cable moded). This mpire takes a bit to load for me, and I can't imagine how long it takes for others!

I did it!!!!!! AWESOME!!!! Thanks for that add-on hint!!!!

Jenn218 · 10-10-2007, 01:38 PM

Okay, I just download this one ((below)) and so far, it hasn't messed with the other stuff on my computer --- Yay!!! AND the ad isn't on YT anymore when I logged on!!! YAY!!!

BUT....I think it takes longer with this on than dealing with the ad.....this will say "transferring www.yorkietalk.com" and "waiting for www.yorkietalk.com" and the avatars won't show, etc...until it is finished. AURGH!!!

NOW WHAT????

Should I try the other one that is listed??? ((aurgh))

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Jenn218 · 10-10-2007, 01:40 PM

Okay, maybe the "above" link FoxFire, I think - that I downloaded only took so long since it was the first time I used it after logging on to YT, but now, it doesn't seem so slow......CRAZY!!! I think I am just having "one of those days" and I am NOT liking it!!!
