I would be interested to see other members' replies as I'm not seeing increased junk emails. I did; however, find increased junk emails and USPS junk mail after buying a subscription to a major quilting magazine. I will not be renewing my subscription because of it.

No junk mail here. Not one.:thumbup:

OK. Here is the fix:
Settings Tab My Settings Profile Privacy Choose Registered Members for all except Albums - unless you don't want lurkers looking at your pretty quilts! Hope this helps! This won't fix talking ads - only spam emails. Ad Block Plus will stop the ads. |
Re. Offensive Advertisements
Has anyone seen the ad on the bottom left of the screen "Target Counter" it's of a hidden person holding a rifle aiming at soldiers running from one building to another. The rifle doesn't fire . Is this appropiate advertising for a quilting site. I really don't care what or if there's a hidden message. It doesn't belong on this site! There's enough of that going on in this world and we don't need it here! Anne

I switched to Firefox and use their ad blocker and get NO ads on this site!
It's great. you might want to try that. |
Getting rid of the AD's
I think they need to get rid of the Ad's when you first click on a subject. They cover the whole screen and you have to scroll down before you see any Threads. I don't mind them on the side or bottom, but when I click on a subject I WANT TO SEE THE SUBJECT. oK, i've vented.

I haven't had that happen and I've been on the site a lot the past couple of days. Are you sure it isn't pop-ups that are separate from this site? A lot of computer trojans you get from emails install programs on your computer that puts pop-up ads on your pages.

try using FIrefox with Adblocker Plus - I don't see any ads.

No problem with ads. Same as before the New Board, small ad at top and bottom of page. Not annoying at all, in fact, sometimes a humorous connection to posts.
