How to disable advertisements in Skype 7.7

How to disable advertisements in Skype 7.7 because nothing I've found here on forums works!

Yea sorry not everyone has $10 to just flush down the drain. The ads are unblievably obnoxious and ridiculous and enough to make me move everyone over to Aim or yahoo.
As for the OP, it seems like generally the same method that may work for one person wont work for another so I'd suggest googling around if the posted answer doesn't work and just try them all.

    Dear Skypers,
    How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Android phones?

    Older version has the option to disable Skype Status and get rid of the Skype icon on Android status bar. But latest 4.4.0.31835 could not disable Skype Status in notifications settings. :/
    Device: Google Nexus 4
    Android: 4.3 JWR66Y
    Skype: 4.4.0.31835
    Please bring back the option to disable the Skype icon on Android status bar. This is the main reason I uninstall Skype. :/
    Kudos to the team, the apps is really smooth and fluid to use. Would be nice if you guys are following the Android Design Principles and using Google Cloud Messaging for push notification to improve User Experience and battery life.

    Long click on this notification a sub menu having field "App info" would appear goto App Info. You can goto there by "Manage Apps">"Skype" also. 
    Uncheck Option "Show Notifications" A dialog will open. Don't worry about notifications for now just click OK. Now the notification icon skype has also been removed. 
    Now simply check "Show notification again". After doing this you would get notifications but skype icon would not be shown in the status bar anymore.
    Issue: this is just a trick you need to repeat this every time sign out and sign in again. Mostly you don't do that so no need to worry.

  • How to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to disable the Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite / Mac OS X 10.10.
    Unfortunately the instructions in OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS no longer apply, since Yosemite no longer has /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
    I did some digging around and there's someone who made a script to disable it in various Mac OS versions, including supposedly Yosemite: https://github.com/MacMiniVault/Mac-Scripts/blob/master/disablebonjour/disablebo njour-README.md
    I had a look at the script to find out what it does and manually inserted "--no-multicast" as string under Program Arguments in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    Doing so, will mess up the wi-fi. Networks only show when wi-fi is off, and turning it on makes it seem like it's off and I'm never able to connect until I undo the changes described above.
    Wondering if:
    1) The result from changes above is expected or is it a bug?
    2) If Apple can update OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS to include instructions for Yosemite.
    3) Did anyone here manage to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite without introducing any new issues?
    Thanks!

    So far, it doesn't appear to work correctly.  I've posted more details in a thread here:

  • How Do I Close My Skype Account?

    Dear Readers,
    This question is asked a lot here in the Community, particularly on this message board.  Perhaps this topic added here will be helpful.   This FAQ article explains the process of how to remove your Skype account (the blue type is actually a "link" to the FAQ article): https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/how-do-i-close-my-skype-account
    First, remember to cancel all active subscriptions. If you think you might be entitled to a refund, please see this FAQ to determine this:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12147/when-can-i-get-a-refund?
    Second, remove any saved payment methods from your account dashboard.  
    Third, remember to change the account status or presence setting to "offline."  For your convenience, an abridged version of the FAQ article's text - specific only to removing a Skype account - is copied and pasted below:
    How do I close my Skype account?
    If you want to close your Skype account, you’ll need to contact us so we can close it for you.
    First, make sure you’ve cancelled any subscriptions or recurring payments, and used up any Skype Credit you have. Everything associated with your Skype account – including contacts, purchases and history – will be lost when your account is closed.
    Next, contact Skype Customer Service and tell us you’d like to close your account.
    It might take up to 30 days for your name to disappear from the directory, but after that, no one will be able to find you in Skype. Your name will still appear in your friends’ contact lists unless they remove it, but they won’t be able to contact you.
    In the meantime, you can remove your personal information from your profile to prevent people from finding you based on those details.
    Remove your profile information
    This will make it more difficult for people to find you in the Skype directory. You can remove or edit all of your details except for your Skype Name.
    To remove your profile information:
    Change your profile picture and mood message.
    If you have a profile picture that identifies you, you might want to change it. In Skype, click Skype > Profile > Change Your Picture… (on a Mac, click your profile picture and then Change Picture) and browse for a different picture.
    You can leave a status message saying you’re no longer active on Skype, or giving your new Skype Name if you’re using a different account. Go to Skype > Profile > Edit Your Profile… and then click Enter mood message. (On a Mac, click your name or profile picture and then click Add Mood Message.)
    Sign out of Skype.
    It’s a good idea to set your status to offline or invisible, and then sign out of Skype on all your devices. Type the chat command /remotelogout into the chat window to sign yourself out of Skype on any other devices you might be using, then sign out on the one you’re using now.
    Go to your account.
    Sign in to your account on skype.com
    Can’t sign in? Find out what to do if you’ve forgotten your username or password.
    Go to your profile.
    Scroll to the bottom of the page and, under Settings and preferences, click Edit profile.
    Edit your profile details.
    In the Personal Information section, click Edit.
    Remove your information from the Personal Information and Contact Details sections. Some fields are mandatory - replace the info in these with random characters, because you won’t be able to save it if the fields are empty. Click Save.
     Please remember this is a one-time request which cannot be reversed. 
    One more point to keep in mind: removing your account from the Search Directory will not "pull," "remove," "delete," or "retract" instant messages or file transfers that you have previously sent to your contacts.  Your account name will still appear on their contact lists, although they will no longer be able to contact you using the account name you have requested be removed.
    The last step of the process is to file your request to remove your account with Skype Customer Service.   This final and required step in the process is often overlooked, and we here in the Community are not authorized to process service requests.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of sporadic website issues.  Temporarily enabling scripts, disabling browser add-ins that might disable pop-up dialog boxes, and temporarily enabling pop-up dialog boxes may help get you through to Skype Customer Service.  If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser.  
    Look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • How to disable "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox?

    How to disabl "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox? Here's an example website that has no underlined links coded in the simple html source: www.setv.org. After I updated FireFox to a more recent FireFox version, blue underlines appear in websites. I know that there is a way to disable that annoying 'feature'.

    Cor El,
    Thank you. Re; under-lined links...I thought I looked everywhere...but I missed it!
    Any chance there being a way to easily enable/disable animations? I'd sure like to selectively rid the screen of those noisy flashy-blinky advertisements.
    And how about storing java-script enable/disable flags with bookmarks? That way I would not be forced to click tools->options->content->enable-javascript each time I wanna turn it on or off? When I surf using database engines I disable j-script (phkem) and when I need to get something from nextegg I turn it on. What about being able to selectively disable/enable (also stored in bookmarks) embedded google-ads/beacons flags? I hate being tracked, now I'm getting ads on my cable TV set based on where I've been lurking on the InterNet. Big-phkn-brother's on us, and its the greedy phkn corporations who don't give sht about us except for what's in our wallets. InterNet used to be cool, now its the CIA, the FBI, KGB, policia, FartBuuk, Macro$haft, AT&T, Giggle (at least they give something of value back), and all the other facist big-brothers. Mozilla was born fighting that schema. There's so much more that FireFox could do to mitigate InterNet facism.
    Anyway, thanks again for your time and I appologize for the ranting.

  • How to Disable or Remove the Click and Call Functi...

    The Skype Click and Call function highlights phone and contact numbers on webpages and emails, and a Skype call can be executed by simply clicking the highlighted number.
    The easiest way to disable this is to remove or uninstall the Click to Call with Skype plugin, via Control Panel's Add/Remove or Uninstall Program function.
    Click and Call feature can also be deactivated by disabling or removing the plugin through your browsers' manage add-ons/plugins options (actual procedure varies according the the browser type).
    Moreover, to re-enable this function, just download and install the Click and Call plugin again;

  • How to disable parent window while popup window is coming

    Hi,
    I am working on Oracle Applications 11i.
    I am able to get the popup window using the Java script in the controller.
    Please see the below code for the reference.
    String pubOrderId = pageContext.getParameter("orderId");
    StringBuffer l_buffer = new StringBuffer();
    StringBuffer l_buffer1 = new StringBuffer();
    l_buffer.append("javascript:mywin = openWindow(top, '");
    l_buffer1.append("/jct/oracle/apps/xxpwc/entry/webui/AddAttachmentPG");
    l_buffer1.append("&retainAM=Y");
    l_buffer1.append("&pubOrderId="+pubOrderId);
    String url = "/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page="+l_buffer1.toString();
    OAUrl popupUrl = new OAUrl(url, OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_SAVE );
    String strUrl = popupUrl.createURL(pageContext);
    l_buffer.append(strUrl.toString());
    l_buffer.append("', 'lovWindow', {width:750, height:550},false,'dialog',null);");
    pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("SomeName",l_buffer.toString());
    But here the problem is, even though popup window is there, i am able to do the actions on the parent page.
    So how to disable the parent page, while getting the popup window.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

    Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
    It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
    I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • How to disable the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function?

    The problem is as follows.
    The default behaviour of Acrobat Reader (both stand alone and browser plug-in) is to allow scrolling/swiping with the mouse wheel/trackpad. This is useful when the pdf's page length is greater than the screen's own length, because you can read the pdf with no need to distract your attention from the text to the scrollbar button. However, the same scroll/swipe function turns into a usability problem when the pdf is embedded in a html page and the pdf's page length is smaller than the browser's length. In this case, the scroll/swipe turns the page, distracting your attention from the text to the unintended behaviour of the browser. What happens is that you are so used to scrolling/swiping that you did it unintentionally in the pdf's caption area. You really did not want to turn pages in the pdf. Furthermore, if the pdf takes the whole html page, being a website, the scroll/swipe function flips the website pages in ways that neither the reader nor the writer had ever intended. Hence the question. How to disable, in this case, the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function? A JavaScript should do, but the SDK documents did not help so far...

  • How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7

    How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7?

    I've had this problem ever since I was at my friend's house- she has Apple TV- and my iPad connected automatically. So, I have no idea why any of the practical solutions that people think of are not options BUT, in terms of just getting it done, I did figure out a way. The key for me was getting near another Apple TV. I was out of town so I took my iPad to another friend's house who also has TV. Once I was logged onto their wireless network (the same network that their Apple TV is on-- that's how it connected in the first place), then the Airplay icon and options showed up from the bottom-draw menu and I was able to make sure that mirroring was turned off from the Apple TV section and to make sure the selection was on iPad instead. Problem solved. Now whether or not this will stay the same (rather than me having to make sure it stays at this setting everytime I link up to a network that has an Apple TV on it) I don't know. So my advice is find someone with Apple TV and connect to their network with your iPad and then change it.
