Tutorial: How to disable Nexon's ad
Maple story Forums : Maple Story Tech Help & Patches : Talk about problems with Maple Story and Patches Thread starter
What? This topic explains you how to disable the ad, which you get to see when you Alt + Tab or use windowed mode. The topic explains how to disable the ad NOT how to remove it. Why? The ad is annoying; The ad is distracting; And some people lagg due the ad. How? #Note: I use a dutch version of Internet Explorer and dont know the exact words. if you cant find the word try to look for something that is almost simulair to the word i used Its nice to know that the ad uses Flash and Internet Explorer to start the ad. 1. Start Internet explorer 2. Go to "Tools" you can find this either on the right hand side of the screen or by pressing left Alt on your keyboard(There will apear a menu) 3. Click on "Internet options" 4. Now go to the tab called "Security" 5. Click on the button "Custom Level" 6. Scroll down until you get to the scripting options link If you use Internet explorer frequently follow the next step otherwise go to 7b 7a. When you have arrived click on "Prompt" belonging to the item "Active scripting"This will ask you everytime when a website uses Javascript if you want to allow it or deny it 7b. When you have arrived click on "Disable" belonging to the item "Active scripting" 8. press "Ok", a window will pop up asking you if you really want to change it click "Yes" 9. Press "Ok" again to save the changes. 10. Start maple and enjoy mapling (as you can see the ad turned white and has been disabled) Incase you already have maple running, restart it Who?

i really don't get it, why they implant another silly ad for the users...its not like they are attracting new players or something.... New Video: crazy football!!!
icyredslush said: "they should make disabling the ads bannable there is no reason for free loaders not to get advertisments and also nx users so we know what is new in the cs" Yes but you cannot close it, plus it covers all other windows you have open, which gets annoying. It also makes some people lag. There's ads everywhere, they don't have to disturb our desktop just to show us new CS items.
Now the only thing that Javascript is gonna ask for ur persmission which is more anoying then the ad itsself New Blog: What the FAWK?!@#$% D=<
<333 IT WORKED. You sir, win teh internetz. Thank you so much!
Why do u want to take it off! D:< Those adds are awesome, lol.
Weird i only see two bubbles instead of three bubbles in my scripting..Why?
There is nothing bannable about disabling the ad this way. You are using a feature inside of IE. Nexon uses IE as the browser for their own software, so ur in no way using a 3rd party program, a hak, or anything against the ToS. The ad lags the hell out of many ppl, it's annoying, it's always on top, and it's a distraction. Personally, it was making my computer lag more than usual. Use the "disable" option listed in step 7b if you don't want to be prompted everytime. There's nothing to debate here. This solution fixes the problem and keeps you w/in the boundaries of the ToS. gg TS. ^^
francy said: "It didn't work.  I still have the ad."did you restart maple story ?
Doesn't work for me. Well it kinda does. The ads are gone but the box is still there so it really doesn't matter.
