Stopping a google ad popping up (Opera)

[IanWilson]

There is a site here http://www.contrapunctus.yoyo.pl/rcc/I wanted to go to in order to get an image of a CD cover, and on the page at that link there is a whole list of CDs by the singer Rogers Covey-Crump. But after reading the page for a few seconds an advert pops up and obscures some of what I am trying to look at, like this. I particular, you can't see any of the CD cover images which are on the left, under the advert.

In Firefox, Ad block plus seems to stop the offending ad from coming up, but I am having difficulty stopping it in Opera, which is my default browser. I have edited the site preferences to "block all pop-ups, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.

Any suggestions for what setting I need to change to deal with this would be appreciated.

When I try to navigate to the page you link, Trend Micro OfficeScan (that we use here in the NHS) tells me that "The URL that you are attempting to access is a potential security risk. Trend Micro OfficeScan has blocked this URL in keeping with network security policy."

Perhaps a new place for CD covers is indicated? This would also solve your popup problem

In the upper right hand corner of the page/window (it scrolls with you) there is a red ^. Click on that to make the ad "roll up"

I only ended up there because I was searching for an image of a particular CD cover and that was where Google found it!

Thanks.

So there is! I couldn't have translated the Polish tooltip!

And now, going to the page, I don't get the pop-up anyway. I had previously tried refreshing the page, and closing the tab, after I had set the preferences for that page to allow no pop-ups, but perhaps it needed me to completely close and re-open Opera for it to take effect.

Thanks.

I'm very sorry for this, perhaps I'll move the website to a paid ad-free server (now it's free, but when I started there were no ads at all!). Regards from Poland :)

Hey, it's a good resource, thanks. And what a great voice the guy has.
