If you have an account and you're logged in, go to "My settings" and check the box that says "Hide advertisements." Otherwise, you can use Adblock Plus or another ad blocker to block the ads.

Why - after installing IE 9 - did all the display ads disappear from WikiAnswers?

Ads are not displayed to users who are logged in to WikiAnswers, so that is most likely the cause. I.E. 9 may also be somehow blocking the ads but I doubt that is the case. If you recently installed a browser extension such as AdBlock, that could also cause the ads to disappear.


Why do some schools block WikiAnswers?

Some of the categories on WikiAnswers should not be browsed through by younger children in school, so a school will block WikiAnswers on their server. However, a more common reason is due to vandalism. Instead of researching in class like a student is supposed to be doing, they vandalize WikiAnswers, which does not benefit anybody. If enough students are vandalizing WikiAnswers and neglecting classwork, the school will block WikiAnswers on their server.
