What I want to know is are they paying GN for the privilege

Do adblocks work on forums? Isn't it entirely up to HQ as to adverts appearing? Would the advertisers pay if they thought we could all block them? confused

Adverts are a necessity btw!

But the adverts are interesting. They've got some lovely furniture on that Made site.

Can someone else just tell me that they can see the string of random letters. Please!

Ah - yes, I just checked mine and it's Adblock+... Opera version.

I'd been getting advertisements in spite of having Adblock. I discovered yesterday that there's an Adblock+ which I have downloaded and the ads have disappeared again.

Get a download of Adblock for your browser - bingo! no more ads.

Yes, my post disappeared, so I thought I had done something stupid. (Probably had).

Up where? I haven't got any, and even If I had I wouldn't have noticed. I never read the adverts. confused

No! It's turned into "Gold Investment Guide".

That's ll be useful round 'ere. hmm

You have to catch it. Quick! It's there now!

Beside the Gransnet banner. It turns into an advert every so often.

But then it comes back again. grin
