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.....

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

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.

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.

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

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

And we buy their stuff! grin

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

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

Ah just had an email from GNHQ saying gone!

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?

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

I like adverts. sad

j07 Sat 02-Feb-13 13:01:07

Adverts? Do we get any? confused

I have realised that they, sadly, are going to be there.
BUT is it necessary to have the ones that jig about in the corner of your eye and are so distracting????
What do others think?
