Re: Annoying new fluorescent ads
I just downloaded the Add blocker - when I went to the BE page I had been automatically logged out and it wouldn´t let me log in. I got this message:
In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist.
I´ve had to undo the Add blocker settings in order to log myself in and type this post. I couldn´t access other web pages either.
Don´t really understand why this is happening........but it seems to me the easiest solution is for Admin to forget whatever deal they have done with these companies and tell them where to go!!!

Re: Annoying new fluorescent ads
Is anyone else being really bugged by the new flashing fluorescent ads that have appeared on BE?
So far today I have been the 10,000th visitor, 999,999th visitor and the millionth visitor to this website! And I have won shed loads of prizes!
Do they really have to be here?????

Re: Annoying new fluorescent ads
Granted - but it´s just these new ads that are the problem. They only appeared about 3 or 4 days ago. Prior to that they were just unobtrusive text only Google ads which don´t bother anyone.

Re: Annoying new fluorescent ads
They wouldn't be good adverts if they didn't attract your attention
