Default Do the flashing, moving,

Do the flashing, moving ads on the QB annoy you? Most of the zulily ads were at the top of the screen,
now they have moved them to the side of the screen. They are very annoying when I was trying to read all the threads with those things flashing, so I shortened my screen horizontally where I now only see the threads and I don't have to see those ads popping and moving and flashing in my peripheral vision anymore!!! It works!!

I don't have those so they must be associated with operating system or added cookies. I do have that problem on another site and do just what you did .... narrowing the screen. I will never shop with those annoying ads ..... I wonder when they will get the message.

I look at a lot of dog rescue sites. Now there is an ad for animal rescue on the side with the most abused looking dog on the side . I have to cover it up with my hand. I'll try making the screen smaller. Thanks.

​I have an ad blocker on my iPad so I only have the ad in the header on QB.

Thanks for the idea. Sometimes those flashing ads make me dizzy, literally, and I have to leave a website.

Yes, they are annoying, but I figured it was just something I had to put up with for so much free and useful information. Your advice to adjust the size of the view is a good idea.
