inappropriate advertising for a Quilting Web Site
 

Hi Quilters,
Is it just me or does this type of advertising turning you off this website too?

Shouldn't advertising be related to why we are here in the first place... to learn about new techniques and products, see inspiring ideas. Doesn't the board have any say about what the ads are going to be before they sell the space?

I suggest you use an ad blocker.

Yes it does and thank you for posting. I find the health related ads on this site to be inappropriate.

Advertising is what pays for the free board. If you don't want to see ads, use an ad blocker. I don't see any health related ads, mine are based on recent browsing history, so connecting threads and fabric.com come up a lot! I'm very good at just ignoring them. I have a slow connection so the ones that bother me are the animated ones. Take a long time to load.

How do you use an ad blocker? I would love to do that.

There is an expense with running a website but many of us use ad blocker. I haven't seen any of those annoying moving ads.

I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. To get an ad blocker, go to "Tools"---"Add Ons"---in search bar, type in "ad blocker", and a number will come up for you to install. I use "AdBlock Ultimate". That should stop the ads.

Search for AdBlock Plus for Chrome if you use Chrome browser.

thanks everyone, that worked! But now I don't see any ads on QuiltingBoard. Wouldn't mind the quilt related ads.

I just ignore them.

I ignore them as well.

the first thing i do when page opens is cancel the ads. when i opened this thread i was a little confised ..?? no 'x' to cancel. so thanks for the first morning chuckle at my sleepy brain :D

I've never seen that ad either but I was getting lots of ads and, as another board member suggested, I installed an ad blocker. Solved the problem for the most part.

I never saw that one! Yuck!

Yes, I've seen that one a number of times...along with the extremely overweight woman who had a miraculous weight loss! I read quilting board on my iPad and don't know how to block them .......anyone here know?

I use Ad Blocker & don't have any ads on this sight. Fave quilts I will get some but they are usually quilt/sewing related.

I've seen it all over....just a tad creepy!

Never seen that one anywhere. I don't pay attention.

Go to the app store and get a free ad blocker. Once it is installed go into settings and turn it on. That stopped the ads on my iPad.

I have seen this ad on several other sites too.

Can't have it both ways, I'm afraid.

thanks..I think I did it....
