they are in the same place as the windsurf, outboard and car ads above the tabs. not a pop up or anything.

make seabreeze look cheap.
i dont want an asian (or any other) bride. im happy with the one ive got.

where?

Aren't some of the banner ads on the net these days targetted for the individual based on your Google searches?

Sooo, what exactly are you googling Salty?

I personally can't deal with anything that moves. No flicky flashy web for me. If it moves, it's blocked. End of story.

I do visit site sponsors. When Laurie adds a new round of ads, I click on all of them, go have a decent look around. If they're good and kite related, then I'll bookmark. Then I block them.

If a poster has a 'site sponsor' link then I'll go check their site nearly every time I see it.

I run chrome with the following for privacy and comfort:
Adblock plus
flashblock
Google analytics opt-out (by google)
IBA opt-out (by google)
keep my opt-outs
widgetblock (no stupid like buttons / facebook tracking my every move)

Lol actually I've blocked adolfs smoking kid and some of the other annoying moving ones.

Just install ABP, right click on the image, choose 'block element'. Never see again.

I'm trialling the new avatar, the full size one is awesome, really 3D. The 3D effect ain't so good at 100x100 pixels. I might go back to the maggot.

Also, 3d wobble gifs are pretty good...

WOW!!

Thats something I never expected,
I always took it for granted that adds were a necessary evil and we had to put up with them.

Thanks boss!
One less reason for my missus to get stroppy at me
(ignoring that there are plenty of other reasons though)

Why are my ads all for penis enlargements.

That only happens when you cruise the kite surf forum.

If you were to ever visit 'I'm-a-25-year-old-swedish-blonde-girl-looking-for-an-aussie-hunk.com.swede' you get banner ads taking you to Seabreeze Windsurf Forum.

I noticed the other day I accidently clicked on 'Kitesurf Forum' and there was an ad for 'A guide to the public toilets of Kamp, Homosbruggville, Germany'

I guess the internet somehow links users to ads ??

Well, I bumped into Laurie whilst visiting the art department on the 2nd floor. I mentioned this topic to him, and he was really dissappointed to hear of what was happening.

But, to his credit, an email soon went out to address the situation, and I've been informed that the department responsible has made appropriate changes to the system, and those offense cheap & tacky adverts will no longer appear.

Laurie said to pass on his thanks, and to hope everybody has a great day.

laurie, that statement made in the 3rd person would make even proud

"Targeted advertising"

Are there any good deals on those diapers ?

Could you let me know when they are on special please.
