I'm new.
I have found that the combination of WebWasher 3.2b3 (set to port 4444 or 8000) and Socks Ad Blocker (set for Socks 5 and port 1080) do an excellent job through my AOL dial-up connection. Sometimes I have to reload, invariably the member name button at far left on bottom nav bar is gone, and they seem to throw full page ads in my face, seemingly detecting I've not had my allotment of spam. Needless to say, this is an almost exclusively IE site (I use ver 5.5 -- not that thing AOL ships!), though k-Meleon 0.6 gets most of it right. (I can't make my fav Mozilla work there at all!)
Whoever gets it right will be allowed to sign my guestbook with some self-aggrandizing HTML!
