Click on the ABP icon on the toolbar and select 'Block element', then select the page element you wish to block. Works for the Filter Bar and the Gallery. Can you post us the eelement / URL to block, I can't get to it from iPad, but I can use it to add to 1Block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerra Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 As usual I am swimming against the tide. I like them. However I can see that if you use mobile devices as your method of viewing the forum then they may be a problem. But then again I can't understand why anyone would use a smaller screen unless they absolutely have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my tablet they take up a small amount of space and on my phone i can't see them unless i scroll right down. On a WiFi connection nowadays so not sure about the bandwidth issue, which i accept may be a problem for those out on the cut. I only view on the tablet or phone and I welcome them.

Why am I viewing on just a tablet or phone. Why am i happy. Why is there so much poverty when we have so much. Why wasn't I born to a wealthy family Why can't you lose weight by eating chocolate and ice cream Why? Edited March 24, 2017 by Ange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend it for any iPad / phone user to block ads and annoying elements like the gallery images sidebar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a WiFi connection nowadays so not sure about the bandwidth issue, which i accept may be a problem for those out on the cut. I only view on the tablet or phone and I welcome them. Surely a Canal forum whose format is deliberately made to be "a problem for those out on the cut" is illogical. I spend up to 6 months of the year actually travelling, without access to WiFi and having only a small mobile data allowance, often seeing only a slow connection. My phone is then my only way of seeing the Forum and i need it to be as convenient as possible. Do you really welcome them on the phone screen (as opposed to the tablet)? They are effectively only a few strips of coloured decoration at the foot of the page, to be ignored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debby Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 If the gallery pictures were at the bottom of the page, as they are when I use my phone, they would annoy me less. I'm really not interested in seeing a photo of RichM's laptop. At home I use Wi-Fi and my laptop, and data usage is not an issue. But at work I don't have Wi-Fi available, so I will no longer be looking at the forum during lunch time, as I always have done previously. So it's not just people out on their boats who are affected by this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichM Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have removed them from Activity Streams. They have been reduced to 3 on the main page and have been resized to 200px. I hope this is seen as a reasonable compromise bearing in mind 5x Gallery Images were displayed horizontally for years prior to the upgrade and as such, we have reduced the number of images displayed. We are looking into implementing a plugin to allow users to hide it if they wish. RichM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
