  Try right click and 'Show all'. Or install AdBlock.

  JAVASCRIPT (to resize images & add links)
  var pics = document.getElementsByTagName("img");for (i = 0; i < pics.length; i ++) {if (pics[i].src.search("tinypic")>-1) {pics[i].setAttribute("style", "width:444px");pics[i].outerHTML = "<a href=\""+pics[i].src+"\" target=\"_blank\">"+pics[i].outerHTML+"</a>";}}document.getElementsByClassName("code")[0].style.display = "none";

  And if you install an Adblocker make sure it is Adblock and not Adblock plus. There are some ads that Adblock plus can't block.

   Unfortunately Adblock is Only for Chrome, Safari, etc.. Personally, I Hate Chrome with all it`s bloat. Seriously miss the days that Chrome Iron worked great with this game ;-).

   Fortunately, the link Jim gave has a link for Firefox browsers...which is Adblockplus...which Does work with Firefox/Dragon to remove the pop-up ads that WGT now seems to think doesn`t interfere with their already over-burdened site...greedy bastards :-(.

              Thanks Jim :-)

  Wrong. Adblock works with any Chrome based browser. Jim and I both use an older version of Comodo Dragon which is not bloated like Chrome and on most systems is the most stable browser there is.Adblock works well on CD.

  Adblock plus fails to block quite a few ads. There is a Geico ad that Adblock plus is not blocking at this time. Even Comodo Dragons privdog light ad blocker blocks more that Adblock plus.

  He's not saying it doesn't work, he just doesn't like Chrome.

  Maybe but he is blowing off what is possibly the best browser for this game for most systems just because it is Chrome based. The older versions like we use are much more stable than Chrome ever was. Especially after the pepper flash debacle,

  . Shoot even the older versions of Iron are better than Chrome and most other browsers.

  Could you post a link to a page that has that ad on it Joe? Cheers.
