ads

Why am I starting to see insidious little ads in the margins? I was under the impression paid subscribers were immune to such bs.

I came to this forum to say the same....do we not notice them if they show up at night? lol
ALL of my ads are turned off in preferences.

I see them anytime I click on a forum.

here is another screen shot, once I realized they are also at the bottom of forums.

I only notice them at the bottom....wondered too, as I have my ads turned off.

I'm getting ads too on the right bottom and mine are turned off.
I checked my settings and I shouldn't be getting ads.
Is this a mistake or a new policy?The only forum I'm not getting ads is this one.
I'm really not happy with this change. Make them go away please.

A new targeted ad (similar to the old "Top Watchdog Ads" was rolled in last night - the good news is, they should be more targeted and interesting than the general ads that we all like to block out ;o)

But I have sent an alert to the the tech team so they can find out how the ads are filtering through the preference settings. I'll let you know something as soon as I hear back from them.

Thanks Terry..... I hope they get it fixed to respect our preferences. Just popped over to ask the same questions.

i want the option to remove them, pls.

I just came over to DG thread to see if anyone else had complained. I noticed ads when I have always opted out.

I would like the option for ad removal for paid subscribers be honored, too.

They are working on it - they were not aware it was circumventing the member preferences when it was rolled out.

They are not as good (tasteful or attractive) as the top watchdog ads were before and those showed just one ad. The red print looks like a cheap shot to get your attention and is most unattractive. (Just being honest). The photos in the others were what got your attention. I don't want these either.

I noticed them right away as well--rather mundane appearing, nothing I would ever click on.

Same here. I'd also opt for removal of them.

Thanks Terry looks like it's been taken care of.

I'm getting ads also, I don't like them, I don't want them!!!

Mine disappeared in the last five minutes! Thanks!

I too don't want to see ads

Mine are still showing up.

Mine too

Most likely your browser has cached them; please try refreshing your browser and see if they continue to appear.

They're still there for me too even after doing a shift-refresh to force it to reload the page.

Hmmm. I blocked mine with Mozilla's Adblocker (sshhhh, don't tell ;o) but I can probably turn them back on to test if the problem doesn't resolve by the time I get back later tonight.

problem remains unresolved here

I still have them too. Hope something is being done about it. Thanks.

The only place I see them are when I read the articles.

I have ads too and I have always opted out in preferences Mine are at the bottom of threads

I'm seeing them too still. Ad-blocker isn't blocking them :((

I just got back and found a note that a fix has been deployed as of 8:30 my time (about half an hour ago.)

If you're still seeing the ads AND you've confirmed you've turned off the ads in your preferences AND you've tried refreshing/rebooting, then please let us know. I'll be around for a little while tonight.

I don't see them any more - thank you

Gone for me too

Gone for me too

Yeaaa! Gone. But I had to set the preferences to not see any ads at all. If the "good" ads come back, I hope someone will let us know. That's how I found Bluestone Perennials.

As I understand it, this is the new version of the "good" ads. I liked the old "good ads" a lot better although I may give these a chance and see if they grow on me.

Thanks for getting those ad aberrations axed.
