Style sheet info yet again

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.neopets (More info?)

I had to reformat my computer this week so in addition to the horror of
being away from neopets for a week I lost the stylesheet for blocking those
pesky ads. Could someone post the info again please.

Thanks a lot. I had it saved on my computer but that was no help at all
after a reformat. Now if I couls just figure out what else I am missing.
Seems like it will take awile to get my computer back into shape.

I've found a problem with blocking the ads on the neopets site. One main
thing is that you don't get the messages from the sponser and then get
either the free items or np for answering the questions

I downloaded ChromEdit and I still don't get it. Can anyone explain this to
me in small words, without skipping anything? It says stuff, and I thought
I was doing what it said. Might help if I wasn't sick, but I doubt it. I
hate feeling so challenged. And I still can't get Adblock for Mozilla
Suite. Will that make a difference?

All I use is the stylesheet bit. I don't actually bother with the hosts file
since I am content to just not see the darn things. That works for me
without worrying about getting Adblock.
