how to get rid of the wiki popup

[Asian Rapini]

Sick of the popup on the wiki?

we all are. but it seems that no one has fixed it. so now it's time to take matters into your own hands.

first off, i'm assuming you are using Firefox 3. If you're not, i don't even know how you sleep at night. Get it now if you don't have it.

now, go get the extension "Ad-Block Plus". this is a great extension and i reccomend it for everyone. the fact that you can use it to disable the popup is just sweet, sweet success.

after you've installed it and restarted firefox, navigate to http://www.runescapeaddicts.com and then click on the little stop sign in your menu bar (this: ). If you don't see it, right click above the address bar and choose Customize... and drag the stop sign up to your menu bars.

once you've clicked it, a window will pop up at the bottom of your screen.

in the search box type 'pt_popupbox.js' (w/o quotes).

right click on the item and click 'Block this item...'

that's all!

have fun!

To the mods: this seems like a bad thing i know, but admit it. you guys hate the thing just as much as the rest of us. maybe with it out of the way, our wiki will get better.

to Marc: you really, really need to fix this, dude.

thanks. this will really be helpful for ppl on our forums who want to view the wiki.

but marc needs to get rid of that pop-up so that only unregistered members get it.

i dont mind it though. but it will help many others.

Yeah.


Pop-up programs work.


But they also block other things.


But it usually shows up when it blocks something.


I have google pop-up blocker, but haven't tried to block the combat leveling guide op-up.


Gotta do it.

[Asian Rapini]

it's not actually using the pop up blocking feature. i only chose it because it can prevent specific javascript scripts from running and therefore can prevent the wiki popup

and btw, since it's a javascript, i don't know if popup blockers CAN block it, because as far as they are concerned, it' just part of the web page....

[nyk45]

Yeah.


That makes sense.


I am using IE lol.


I'll see what I can do.


I am searching for some cheap and good graphic cards.


Mine needs an update. =O

[katokon333]

but its yet one other thing to add to the list that we need to do :/

[nyk45]

Darn.


My parents aren't letting me buy a new graphics card.



Oh well, I'll try that thing about the Google pop-up blokcker.
