Hey, just wanted to share a quick tip I figured out for those annoying Livestream ads that always pop up right during the final, game deciding battle.

There is an easy way to skip them with no plugins or hax required.

When the ad appears simply mouse up to the top right corner where the livestream logo usually is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[image loading]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your mouse should turn into the little hand somewhere up there (you may have to feel around a bit), then just click. This should open up a new tab with the Livestream main page and also cancel the ad. Then you just close the new tab and return to your stream for another 15min of uninterrupted SC.

I only know this works on Livestream and Chrome.

***
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

I never even knew Livestream had ads. AdBlock Plus for the win.

Thank you. I have endured that indie iphone comercial with the french music way to many times.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

Hmm.. It doesnt work for me, i tried mine, and the stream was stopped immediately, which prompts me to press the "play" button, and which the ads pop up again..

edit: i actually find it more irritating that i cant type other languages (korean) in the livestream chat box if you are using chrome.. and i'll have to open a new tab and key that in the URL box, then copy paste it into the embedded chat channel below the livestream player..

As soon as the ad starts, they get credit for it. So canceling the ad after a few seconds won't matter.

And since the OP is referring to livestream, it's a moot point anyways.

He was talking about adblock.

But yes, the ads don't support the peeps anyways.

Are you sure you'r doing it on Livestream streams? If you do it on Own3d or Justin.tv it will just pause the ad.
