Adverts

Adverts? Do we get any?

I'm wondering if I've got some sort of ad blocker that I don't know about.

I like adverts.

Well, there was some thread a few moments ago about free sport tv. I reported it and it seems to have vanished! Not even a 'thread deleted'
Perhaps I imagined it?

Ah just had an email from GNHQ saying gone!

Shh...don't tell the advertisers....I don't notice them!!!

They pay for the running costs of Gransnet so of course we all read them in great detail and find them fascinating.

And we buy their stuff!

Absolutely.
?
it's just that the moving and flashing ones do my eyes in!

Alie the only advert I see on GN is for the Mumsnet Academy.
If you're getting loads of others, it may be that you have a lot of cookies on your computer - you can get rid of them like this

I think all the free gifts and competitions and so on are sponsored by businesses who see it as painless advertising. Could be wrong.

It works better than a flashing jumping ad on the page giving us migraines.

Tell me if they're there! Please!

I'm getting paranoid here. (I only see the Mumsnet Academy one)

jeni not the sneaky smuggled in ones.

...all that I have is Mumsnet Academy. Don't even want that!

I've got IE9 and it's different. I tried Tools and finally found stuff in Cache, but they are still there.
However I can hide them if I make the text really BIG.....

I'd better investigate online?

I was answering someone here, but it seems to have gone????

I get cookies on other websites but not on gransnet.

HI h YurI

Google has an ad blocking facility which works.

Sorry for strange bit on last post. Am on kindle fire and its goes a bit odd sometimes.lO

I reported that one too jeni

Found it. IE9 has a popup blocker under 'Find' at the bottom of the page.
I think that's done it.

Oh no it hasn't. they are there again...!!!

and gone again. I don't get this.

You don't get cookies on gransnet. Don't know what you are seeing Alie confused

Below the 'on the forums' bit I have a square ad (just now - it varies)with phones bouncing all over it.

But not being annoyed by it, as I have the text so big it isn't visible.
