I dislike the NuvaRing Birth Control ads posted on or in the middle of airline tracking maps. Is there a way to delete any and all advertising interfering with flight tracking displays?
Yes there is. When you go to FlightAware.com, click on the “X” in upper right hand side of the window.
I’ve always though the NuvaRing ads were funny - not in a ha-ha way but because the vast majority (90%? 95%?) of FlightAware members probably won’t have a need for the device.

HHmmm this doesn’t seem to work on my MAC. is there something us MAC users need to do different? [/quote]
Yes, buy a PC. That way you too can enjoy slower speeds and a stupid Vista popup asking for permission to do what you just told it to do every time you actually try to do something other than IM or listen to music
That was my CB “handle” back in the day. My Catholic HS and college educated wife eventually made me change it once she caught on. Only took her a few years.
Control panel - Security Center - Other Security Settings - User Account Control to turn that annoying thing off. However, you will still get a pop-up when you start Windows saying check your security settings. Just ignore it and it will go away.
Or try a linux flavor. No need to be hampered by the forced choices of an apple or a pc, but free to try all sorts of new programs and functionality. Or just don’t go with a poorly-designed, and bloated OS like Vista, and stick with a ok-designed, slightly less bloated os like XP.
Also, if your having trouble with ads, I’d reccommend firefox as a browser. But do realize Flightaware provides a fantastic service, and blocking any ads they rarely seem to have only hurts you in the long run.
I don’t mind the ads at all on this site. Fact is I click through on a lot of the sponsored links and some of the banners when I get bored. Then again, I can’t seem to pass an infomercial either while I am scanning on Sunday morning. Love that Magic Bullit infomercial.
