I see flashing ads when I'm on the board without being logged on.

I've never gotten any flashing advertisements either.

Google ads at the bottom. I can live with them if it keeps us from having to pay to share our lives with each other. I have never seen any that are offensive. GREAT JOB ADMIN :) Also,
My 9yr old GS saw the headphone kitty avatar today and asked what kind of music he was listening to that made him wiggle his head and grin like that. debbieumphress please tell us so I can give him an answer. |
I've seen flashers, scrollers, and all manner of stuff here. But it's not something the moderators can fix, it's really your fault in a way!
Let me explain; notice how those ads are strangely tuned to what your interests are? The ad space is displaying different for every user of this board, since ads are being put up there based on data gathered from your browsing habits. So if you, like me, spend time looking at motorcycle stuff, you'll see ads about motorcycle stuff. If you spend time online shopping for office supplies, you'll see ads for Staples online, etc... That explains why some people see ads that flash and others don't. |
You shouldn't see ads that are too distracting. Google has a policy that limits the amount of "flashiness" advertisers can use in their ads. But if you notice something over the top, then please send me a screenshot and the advertiser's domain name. I might be able to filter it out.
I really don't like advertisements and the flashing ones are the worst but I think that quite possible selling advertizing space is what keeps this a free forum. Am I correct in assuming that or just computer illiterate? That's what fuels the growth of the board. |
Does she mean ads that appear on top of the Quilting board, or the ones at the bottom (or top)? I can't recall any of the ones at the bottom flashing. I used to get ads that stream across the screen but we did some hcanges to filter out that stuff.
