What's wrong with Digit!!!

amol48 · 24-09-2009, 08:07 PM

Is it just me or everyone else too is seeing half page AD on digit? Almost half of my left side screen is covered with AD and a banner AD on the right side. The forum is reduced to less than 30% of the total width of the page!

See what I mean:

It is another-new-bug or Digit has chosen to become just an AD site than a technology forum?

P.S. I tried ALL the browsers I had and the results are the same everywhere.

Same here, posted in the forum improvement suggestions, but who sees it anyway!

if you are on firefox,install ad-block plus...& greasemonkey...then install tarey_g's neat digit script from here- http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34010

**Krow** · 24-09-2009, 08:33 PM

^Good idea... That is the best option now that Kirsch theme is also broken...

awesome. Thanks dude. This actually removed all the ads.

amol48 · 24-09-2009, 09:25 PM

If things continue like this I think my mobile screen will be bigger than the digit forum!

Cool G5 · 24-09-2009, 10:24 PM

All is fine here. I'm using Firefox without any adblock addon.

If you dont use greasemonkey you can directly use Adblock plus extension + NeatDigit Firefox extension.

Extension link : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11096/

You can see the features of the extension/ script in the digit thread, as the greasemonkey script and extension thread were merged by the admin so the thread posts will look out of order

Ok things back to normal FOR now.

thewisecrab · 25-09-2009, 07:10 AM

@tarey
you updated the extension? since I used it earlier and it refused to work with th eforum (ie. once the admins made further changes)

Are these changes incorporated?

Rahim · 25-09-2009, 08:41 AM

I use css from Anirudh( cant remember) in Opera and good ol' Kirsch

This is so kewl.....

No more adds in this forum. The page is rendering so wide wide. WOW...!

Now one good deed deserves another:
How do I get this to happen, for any web page...adds completely blocked. I do not want to install an 'add blocker' it eats up RAM.

asigh, this extension will work for thinkdigit only as i wrote a site specific code. If you know little bit of javascript than its really easy to code for your other favorite website.

If anyone is using Adblock plus extension, I will recommend another companion extension of AdBlock named Element Hiding Helper , very useful to remove ads/content which adblock misses.

**asingh** · 25-09-2009, 11:56 AM

Okay..will try the above two. Thanks again..your a genius.

thewisecrab · 25-09-2009, 05:16 PM

RIP (RemoveItPermanently) will help if you are on FF

**asingh** · 25-09-2009, 05:36 PM

How much do these Add ons..over load the browser..? (Application allocating RAM)

**asingh** · 15-10-2009, 08:49 PM

Guys..can someone give me the working links for:

neat digit add on
firefox add blocker.

please..thanks'

Shame on you , pathetic digit forum staff !!! ,

absolutely no control over spam. There was a porn0 spam msg in this forum (Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34). I was surfing the forum in presence of my family, wtf ! why does this not happen in other forums like techenclave, erodov, etc.

Worst of all , i surf this forum in office(like many others) !! you guys are going to get people kicked out of their jobs.

**Krow** · 17-10-2009, 12:09 AM

If not for you we would have to bear crappy ads mate. The post will likely be there till tomorrow morn at least. Kids will be banned from net surfing, imagine their embarrassment and people may lose jobs.

tarey_g · 17-10-2009, 12:13 AM

somebody make a porn filter for the forum

, these people are hopeless. More than one year of nagging, and absolutely no effect on them.

Cool G5 · 17-10-2009, 12:23 AM

Ohh god, this is pathetic.
Seems like the forum staff is retired forever.

**Krow** · 17-10-2009, 09:50 AM

Thanks Kalpik, for being the only regular mod in the past month.

**kalpik** · 17-10-2009, 03:35 PM

I try to be here as much as i possibly can.. But i suppose i can do only so much!

In case of any emergency like the one above, someone please PM me, and i will get to it as soon as i can!

**Krow** · 17-10-2009, 08:38 PM

^Yeah that's the whole point that rhitwick tried to make in the complaint/whining thread. We need at least a couple of new mods to help the existing ones out. I'm ready to recommend three guys who I think will make good mods, if anyone will hear me out.
