Question

I would like to disable advertisements for loans, services and promotions on my accounting software that I already pay for. Where do I select to not be advertised at?

Its quite frustrating trying to navigate my reporting, while having to click a small X on an advertisement that I have zero interest in while using my accounting software. Perhaps a promotions section instead of an advertisement on every page?

    Hello there, grantel,

     

    I'm here to help disable advertisements you've already paid for in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

     

    These ads serve as a guide to help you navigate the software. While there isn't an option to permanently turned them off, you can click the X or No, thanks button. This way, QBO will turn off the ads and remember your choice. Thus, the pop-up won't show up again.

     

    For now, I recommend visiting the Product Updates page to know what's new and coming in the system. This link has topics about the latest improvements in QBO.

     

    Feel free to leave a comment below if there's anything else you need. I'm always around to help you out.

    Sorry, not one of the answers Intuit has provided for disabling QB2020 popup windows and advertising are acceptable. These are NOT DESIGN FEATURES, they are DESIGN FLAWS and frankly, this program has gotten more annoying with every version.


    For years QB users have requested ads and popup windows be removed, but receive the same responses ... "we will notify (fill in the blank)" or "contact us (link) to address your concerns with our design team." The "check box" under Preferences does nothing. Literally, nothing.


    Since 2004, our company requested a number of changes and fixes (why on earth does the ending balance need to be 72pt Bold Type?) and not one has been considered, discussed or implemented because none are marked SOLVED.

     

    Obviously, Intuit Corporation is

    Too big to fail

    Too big to jail

    Too big to care

    Too big to share


    As for the popup surveys on every QB support page, why bother?  The humans aren't listening.

      Having to click X TWICE EVERY SINGLE TIME I am converting a  purchase order into a bill is unreasonable.

       

      It is interfering and inefficient.

       

      This issue has been complained about for a very long time and it is time intuit addresses it once and for all.

       

      Selecting HELP to issue a bug report does not work

       

      Selecting the Gear icon to issue a help report is not available.

        omg I'm so glad I got out of the accounting department... the account I posted with earlier got flushed along with my QBO access, good riddance.  After I posted my grievance earlier, I found a working solution to this.  It gets a little technical - apologies for that, but it was kind of a no-fail mission for me....oh, I almost cried when I made the loan-application one go away.  I will copy the substance of the solution over here so more people can see it:

         

        You actually *can* get rid of these if you use the Chrome browser and are allowed to install extensions.  There is an extension called "stylish" which lets you selectively modify elements of a page.  This is the script I've developed to address these:

         

        *.marketing-ipd-tsa-widgets{ display:none !important; }
        *.explore-products-container-wrapper{ display:none !important; }
        *.card-content-qbchecking-promo{ display:none !important; }
        *.capital-loan-application-card-container{ display:none !important; } 

         

        You copy/paste the above list into the "Stylish" extension once you have it installed and set-up.  That list was current as of July 14 of last year - they may have added more ads in the meantime, or changed the names of the elements.  I don't have access to test it any more, and I've since switched computers.  Ask your IT person to help you if there are ads that this doesn't cover.  You will have to get the element name/class/id by right-clicking on the ad, and choose "Inspect" at the bottom of the list.  Once you have this, add a directive to the list, following the pattern in the 4 I've given above.  Good luck and happy Friday!  -mgr
