How do I get rid of these stupid balloons? Thread poster: Stuart Allsop
|
|---|
While I'm sure Proz is duly proud to have reached 2 million questions, I do NOT see why that should screw up our ability to view the ANSWERS to those 2 million questions, due to the dozens of psychedelic balloons that are currently obscuring all of the Proz windows that I happen to have open!
How do I block them?
Very annoying.
( sorry for being a wet-blanket spoil-sport, but I'm trying to work here, and the balloons are getting in my way.... )

| SIMPLE SOLUTION | Sep 3, 2008 |
There are several solutions:
1) Prick them using a virtual needle.
2) Ask the site administrator to turn off the animation.

If you're using Firefox with Adblock extension, just add a filter to block http://www.proz.com/js/balloons.js - that's what I did and the site is back to normal for me now.

I'll have one of the developers whip one up presently...
Seriously, the balloons will disappear in a bit!

AAhhhhhhhhh!!!
That's MUCH better!
Thanks Henry! Your "virtual needle" worked like a charm! Please thank the devs for their great needle-work skills.
All they need to do now is come up with a virtual broom to virtually sweep up the thousands of bits of virtual rubber scraps that are lying all over the desk under my monitor!

| Should be gone | Sep 3, 2008 |
Hello all,
Your browsers should be balloon-free by now. Please let me know if you happen to spot a stray one somewhere. Thanks!
Best regards,
Jared

Hello Jared,
I've still got the balloons!
Internet Explorer 7 with no add-ons.
Best wishes,
Howard

No change, the problem persists.

| Can you try F5? | Sep 3, 2008 |
Thanks Howard and Matthias. Can you try hitting F5, to see if this removes the balloons from your cache?
