Thank you Adrian and TD  ....  I've followed your instructions  on the Independent front page.  There is a very annoying  'Spnsored feature' that changes continuously.  I right clicked within the little Sponsored feature box - press block content and everything except the item and other photos vanished  :'(   I then pressed 'done' on band at top (as per TD) all came back but sponsored feature continued to run.    Perhaps it's because it's sponsored  (I haven't a clue really !!!)

Oh Thank you for those Adrian .... will look later ...

Bon Appetit !

I have just blocked all ads. on Indepenedent front page...if it is the same Independent.

Steps......

Right click on blank part of the page .......menu opens...click on "block content"
All except blockable content will grey out.
Click on offending item........it should become overlaid with a red band with text "blocked content"
Click "done" on the narrow band atop page.

Is that what you have done ?

 :doh: :doh:

well there you go, we can learn something every day, Newsflash .... OPERA HAS FLASH BLOCK ON BOARD   :blush:  ( and has done so for several versions  :-[ :blush: )

Take a read of these and you can turn on the plugin easily.  I have so far just added the button to my address bar and can toggle on/off for any page I visit.  Flash ads are turned off and their container just shows a "play button".

Easier way to do the same thing.........tools>preferences>advanced>content> "enable plug-ins only on demand"  ;)

I followed your instructions TD, I was doing everything but getting the red  'blocked' banner  but I have now  and t works    :clap2: Thank you. 

Adrian,  do you mean you have a button that you can just click on when you want to stop the 'flashing adverts'   ..... I used to have that in FF ....how do I get a button.  I'm sorry to appear 'thick'  ::)     but can you spell it out for me please ?

Glad the blocking is working ok............ :clap2:

As to getting a button, go here..........http://my.opera.com/dude09/blog/on-demand-plugin-opera-turbo ......and go down to "buttons" ( button B may be the better choice) Click on the wee blue linky, accept the warning....and hey presto.. ;D

Is that the same button 'B' that used to be in telephone boxes?

Sorry I've been at the wine gums again.

>>>  Buttons is highlighted <<<

Can you not drag and drop onto the toolbat or wherever ?

>>> .I'm so sorry    ...bet you wish I'd stuck with FF and Chrome now don't you  <<< Nonsense, and there is no need to apologise. I did say earlier somewhere that Opera is a bit geekie and needs some tweaking to get it running just as you want.

Keep battling away, in between mouthfuls of turkey and vin rouge.. ;D

Have a lovely Christmas eve TD  .....   take care   -  a bientôt !

I'm back   ;D   .....  I followed the instructions TD  ..... and this is what I see when I open  'Buttons' on the Advanced   (see attached)
If I then left click on Set Preferences  ... nothing   -    right clicking brings me to Customize .. then  Appearance    or Reset Toolbar to Defaults or Remove from Toolbar   !   but I can't see a 'button'  to drag anywhere   :'(   

Sorry to be a pain   ....  and thank you for any further help  :)

Place your cursor on the "Set Prefernces" and drag it to your address bar and drop where you want it to stay. Clicking the button toggles blocking on and off.
