Here is a link that might be useful: important announcement

thanks!
I went to the link and I think I disabled it.
Lord knows if there is a way to sell advertising it will be done.
good to know there is a forum about the forum.

If you scroll over the links it leads you to hits on Bing. Eventually, they become like wallpaper and you don't even notice them.

Seems fair. This is an incredible resource for us and they don't charge us for it. They have maintenance costs like anyone. If the advertising links help pay for the site, where's the harm? So many sites do this now, I don't even notice the links anymore.

I didn't disable them, just don't click on them. But I'd sure like to know how to stop the page going crazy when an ad expands from the top and then contracts again. Then I have to wait until it times out. Yesterday it did it to me twice in a row.

I can endure it, but it's better to keep the site free. I've got the latest version of Firefox which blocks things but they're always one step ahead to get around blockers.

Does anyone actually buy any of the products advertised? I just happen to shop at some of the places they advertise anyway.

Aliska, did you download addblock plus to your firefox addins? I never see any of those ads anymore..

Firefox users can set a filter in Ad-Block for this addy:
