Adblock CSS not closing up gaps from ads

Hi all

Im trying out the new opera with adblock url-filter by fanboy... that works great, and ive added the CSS style sheet that 'supposedly' closes up the gaps left by the adverts... well im having trouble with it and wondered if someone could show me how to make it work... I dont mind doing it manually (via right-click or summit) as long as it remembers it

I have to say so far I love this browser, one thing that stands out is the scrolling smoothness is better than Firefox, I have to disable the smooth scrolling on that as it sometimes judders and gets sticky , specifically on the eBuyer website... even when scrolling down the main page with smooth scrolling on (Firefox) it starts too judder and lock up, Opera doesnt.. smile it also seems just a tad smoother, I think FF instantly stops but Opera slows it down to the stopping point (all in fraction of second) which adds nice touch to it smile

Anyway, heres a screenshot of Opera not closing the gap on Techguy website:
can anyone help me?

by the way YES i did read the readme in the zip package and the english desc. says:-

"Userjs-only version Just install \userjs-only\adblock.js. For Opera 8.5-10.1 on Windows, also recommend to use aa_localStorage.js with mime-type «text/lse»."

- which means NOTHING to me being an opera noob

1.how do I install it?
2.where is the first directorys if thats the last one (\userjs\),
3.what is aa-localstorage?
4.is there anything else I have to do? (as there is!! - point opera to install folder!!..)

- luckily there was someone else on the forum MORE helpful who told me how to do it, unfortunately it didnt work.. as you either have to use THAT and block all ad's manually yourself OR use adblock lists and have that DIY

Adblock scripts for firefox manages to close up gaps - why cant scripts for opera? - LOL, so yeah they managed to close gaps on Firefox so its not an impossibility like you make out...

people like you give forums a bad name... you knew how to do it, would took you seconds to type a link direct to the instructions...
just like I told someone else on the forum, every post people arrive at has "try a search..." as the answers - we spend ages searching
and all we arrive at are these posts where people say "try a search" - 50 posts may say "try a search" and 1 may have the answer..
very poor... its a BAD HABIT on forums to do that - what your SUPPOSED to do is advise search but also supply the answer so they
get BOTH advice and answer

in anyways im ridding myself of this crappy browser - it cant even displays pages correctly
Royal Mail has pages in help were text is all srcunched up and links overlap each other
Panda Cloud site 'watch video' link brings up loads of code and test in video window
IP Torrents is very slow to respond to opera

been using it for a week now - HEADACHE... and so are the users of its community...

goodbye smile
