Stop blank box where ad has been blocked?

[oldguy69]

On the NY Times website, http://www.nytimes.com/ , I get a fairly large blank white box when I roll my cursor over a certain part of the page. Screenshot one attached shows what it looks like. Screenshot 2 shows it with AdMuncher filtering turned off.

This particular ad only shows up if I'm logged on. If I go to the website without being logged on the "Gift a Gift" link isn't there so the ad doesn't popup.

Is there any way to prevent that popup...maybe some configuration setting I'm missing?

If it's only there when logged in you will need to provide me with an account to view it...

[oldguy69]

I don't see how I could provide you with an account, Jeff, but you may be able to create one here:

https://myaccount.nytimes.com/register

There are too many sites for me to do that.

If you want a site fixed you must provide me with everything I need.

I have so many things to fix, I'll just spend my time fixing something else.

I must prioritize.

Ok. I thought I'd bring this particular behavior to your attention but I'll just live with it and go on with life.

Please understand that if he had to create a dummy account for EVERY site that we need help with, it would take too much time to do that when he could've spent that time fixing things.
What is up with people not grasping what time is put into this support? Almost only complaining, and though we pay for this, we could give thanks every now and then, and not only when we've gotten help with removing an ad we encounter on a page, or other things.

Without ad-muncher, internet browsing would be a major pain in the buttocks; IMHO! Sure, free versions of similar programs/extensions/add-ons do exist.. but they pale in comparison. So be glad this one exists.

Thanks bzg. That's what I figured Jeff could do but if he's too busy....so be it.

However, let me update by saying that out of curiosity I signed in with that account you created, and then signed out. I found that I was wrong when I said you have to be signed in to get the blank box.

If you roll your mouse cursor over the area to the left of the Log In link, you get the munched box without being signed in.

For whatever it's worth.

This screen scrab was taken from Firefox 26.0 without being signed in to the Times website:

P.S.

broman.martin....I agree 100% with your appreciation of AdMuncher. I'm spoiled by it and I'm always amazed when I have occasion to browse the web on a machine where ads aren't blocked. I'm happy to pay for the AdMuncher improvement in browsing. Having said that...it doesn't mean I can't hope for an improvement now and then.

If I pay for a service I want support without an attitude, is that asking too much?

Your welcome. I don't see the big deal spending less than a minute on support for your paying customers.

I love Admuncher also, have 2 licenses. I don't love the attitude we sometimes receive from Jeff.

There was no attitude in my reply whatsoever.

I was merely stating facts.
