It works for me on ads.osdn.com, and other site I tested (solvending.com).

I hate too the "don't do that" solutions.

Easiest solution: install AdBlock for Firefox or Mozilla.

http://adblock.mozdev.org/installation.html

Then block the following:

*ads.osdn.com*

Ahhh ... no more ads.

If you want my adblock file, which you can import, you can get it here:

Your solution is complete overkill. I will not install a proxy server on my 
laptop to get rid of one stupid flash banner ad.

Besides I am not really asking for a solution to the problem. I am trying to 
find out if there is a bug in konqueror regarding plugin rules for individual 
domains. If there is I will post a bug report to KDE's bug tracking site.

Well, ultimately the problem is advertisers thinking it's their god
given right to waste your bandwidth with distracting crap you'll never
buy anyway.  So why not just cut them off at the pass?

Thanks for the advice but I'd really rather like to find out what the problem 
is. Also it seems like a rather excessive sollution to a simple problem.

Get a squid running adzapper, that seems to take care of them quite

Maybe kmailcvt can do this directly, another possibility would be to export to 
a standard format (vCard) in Outlook first.

Did you install the addressbook program? It is separate from Kmail.

Where is my address book in KMail ?

2004-10-17 Thread Mateusz



hi!
 
Well, i just installed KMail on my debian(kernel 
2.4.27,kde 3.3.0). It looks great, i like it very much but where can i access 
address book. There is in Tools -> Address book but i can't execute it as it 
is always unavailable. "So,ok" i thought and i created a new message, entered my 
friend's e-mail and i clicked address book there, in one of the menus 
above.Nothing really happened,so i tried once again to enter Tools->address 
book but it's still unavailable. i looked through KMail help but i didn't find 
anything. Did anybody have a problem like this ?
 
Also, is it possible to import  my contact 
list from outlook?
 
Thanks in advance for any help!

Can't exclude flash plugin from working on slashdot.org

2004-10-17 Thread Anders Ellenshøj Andersen
I have been trying to stop slashdot.org from running flash adverts because 
they use a lot of cpu and causes the fan to start up on my laptop.

The code on the page that includes the flash adverts look like this:



So I tried going into the plugin settings where I have plugins enabled 
globally, and add a domain specific rule to deny flash for the domain 
ads.osdn.com. That didn't make any difference, so I also tried adding 
slashdot.org. That didn't work either.

Do you think there is a bug here?

I am using kde 3.3 from unstable.
