I Use a firefox addon called adblock plus, took some doing initially to build a blocklist, but very little work now.

I'll happily mail anyone my blocklist that wants it.

Very handy of you are on limited bandwidth, or have a low bandwidth browsing requirement.

Patched mine.  2.4MB for IE7, restart required.

to save me installing the add-on, if you blocked mine, is it just that images, or all images/files on theboy.omegaowners.com/oofpics/whatever?

If I right click on your pic (in FF) I get a context menu that includes
"Block all images from". It blocks from theboy.omegaowners.com.
That's without Adblock.

Thats what worries me - I guess I'm not alone in using the same hosting account (website) for my avatars and for my photos that got in my posts, eg Maint Guides etc

I haven't used Adblock so I don't know if it gives better precision.

But blocking a whole domain is a blunt tool and not worth having IMO.

Thanks Bandit and Jimbob for your earlier post on blocking! :y

I have now used it on Taxi Drivers avatar (no offence intended!) that was too large and it has worked; avatar gone! :D ;)
