*!&£$£\"*!! adverts

First I couldn't read a news article on the site about wrecks being removed from the Forth and Clyde canal because of an intrusive car advert. Now I find I can't read postings on the message board because of another intrusive advert (and can't read some of what I type here for the same reason.)

Please, please, PLEASE can we get rid of these (or, at the very least, be able to close them or shove them out of the way)?

FWIW I was already aware of the car brands; these adverts are giving me a negative impression of them.
 
Re: *!&£$£\"*!! adverts

I wholeheartedly agree with these sentiments. I thought it was just me when I found I couldn't read the article. I'm relieved to find it wasn't!
Can somebody with a bit more computer savvy post a vote option so that we can vote to ban them?

I don't get any ads. I use Firefox with it's default settings. Or is it my Firewall that's keeping them out?
 
Re: *!&£$£\"*!! adverts

I accept that, but when the advert actually prevents me seeing the information on the site it must be counter-productive to both parties.
 
Re: *!&£$£\"*!! adverts

I don't get any either. I'm not using Firefox a firewall or a popup blocker. I just do not get them.

This has come up before and i believe it is because i have the forum index page bookmarked and avoid the YBW home page but i am probably wrong!

Plain pictures not so bad, its the flashing and noisy ones that cause the worst inconvenience.

There used to be a Farting Pig on the YBW home page. Everyone in the office knew you were playing and not working /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

If it's any consolation, we hated that one too - the office sounded like Jimmy's Farm!. It would have come down quicker were it not for some technical issues...

It's the German car advert that's blocking the reading of the interesting article on Scottish wrecks

Can you post the URL please and I'll take a look.
 
Re: *!&£$£\"*!! adverts

problem is that then your back button won't work properly anymore, and you'll have to hit the back button three times to go back one page - very irritating
