Block Full Screen Flash Ad On Groove Shark?

Postby war59312 » Sat Jul 17, 2010 9:34 pm

Hey Jeff,

Any chance on blocking the full screen flash ad on http://listen.grooveshark.com/ ?

It takes up the entire screen and plays an HP ad on first load, every time.

Any chance it could be bypassed?

Thanks,

Will

I've tried it in 3 different browsers and I don't get any ads at all.

Any custom entries allowing it maybe?

Nope not using a single my filter.

Odd. I get the full ad in IE 8, Chrome 6, Opera 10.60, and Firefox 4 nightly.

Every time it's a full screen HP flash ad.

Unfortunately I can't do anything about it until I see the same ad.

Are you logged in?

If so you'll need to provide me an account.

Yeah I thought that too maybe so I went ahead and created an account and same ad.

So does not matter if your registered or not.

Well I sent GS a twit so hopefully I will get an answer to why not everyone is getting the ads.

Even more annoying is that now they change the theme to ad every time on load.

Update: Sweet, what do you know. They use their twitter account. They fixed it already. :)

I also get the HP Ad and just came here to report it. I get it both in IE8, and the latest Chrome 6 every time. I'm not logged into the site. Using v4.9 beta 32130/3083. I use windows XP SP3 if that matters.

I don't know why the site insists and never sending me any ads.

Try this:

Block retrieval of URL:
.grooveshark.com/webincludes/themes/themes.

- Set the keyword to:
.grooveshark.com/webincludes/themes/themes.
- Set the category to "Block retrieval of URL"
- Click "apply" and the new settings should take effect
after you clear your browser cache and reload the page.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply information unfortunately I still receive the HP AD every time I go to the website. I cleared Chrome cache after I made the change in AM, the Ad still appears every time. It's only a 10 second Ad so if I have to live with it I will I guess.

Thanks,
Steve

I think I removed the HP ad for the next list update.

no, I never got the ad.

It was an educated guess from the looking at the code.

Build 3101 and up.

clear your cache.
