The advertisements

Postby Jesse » Fri Jul 30, 2010 7:08 pm

Can you choose to remove a few specific advertisements from the site? I am of course referring to the one that yells, "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO RECEIVE A 1000 DOLLAR WAL-MART GIFT CARD!" into your ears at an unreasonable volume. This is so very annoying, and at times startling.

Another one is that "Hi, I'm Heather. What's your name?"

If I hear that one more time...

Thankfully I won't, because I just installed a firefox add-on that blocks flash from automatically playing. I guess I should have got this a long time ago. Still, one shouldn't have to install something so one can surf the site without having one's ears randomly assaulted.

Not a huge deal. Just been wanting to say something about it for awhile. :D

The ads are controlled by the add network and I dont have control over which ones get dislayed.

Good call. I was just going to mention ABP. Very effective and makes me smile every day knowing that all the crap is being blocked from my view :)

YEAH ABP Does a pretty good job of blocking the crap here's what TOC Looks like through ABP

P.S. SOrry about the picture quality I Used JPEG So the file size would be smaller to make it bigger click on it. But, I assume you already know that :P
