They don't flash on my screen, but I risked my eyesight and took a closer look. They are totally useless to me, living outside the UK.

They are back - but coming and going!

A bit harsh on the eyes especially after a lunch-time glass of wine

They are horrible, very intrusive. I would never be tempted to use any company that advertises like this.

Please do something about these blasted flashing adverts. No one will care I'm sure but I really can't stand it and will stop coming here to GN.
I'm sure I'm not the only one.angry

I have AdblockPlus installed, but that yellow horror still managed to sneak in! I had to log off and start again...

Yes, N&G - but it's better than that scary looking man who sat at the top of the page yesterday.

But I've got Miss Mary in a bra back again now

I'm getting it, too. I don't know what it's for, or whether it would even apply to me as I don't live in the UK.

It's very intrusive. (I used to work for BMI!)

Yes, I am suffering too. One thing is for sure, I will never use BMI Healthcare, they ask if we are suffering from pain, well the answer is YES, but it's a headache from your advert. I too am signing off from Gransnet for now and hope that the next time I sign on, there is a new and less painful advert.

Isn't it hideous? Sooooo over the top. Think I might even stay away from GN until it goes.

Just realised everything is hardly loading but only where these dang adverts are showing.

When they are this intrusive I automatically discount them!

No adverts at all Shysal ? That would be good.

It's not even something I've googled ! The pic is at 75% but when I put it to 100% it makes gransnet very small in the middle.

Grrrr annoying !

I am on desktop site but it doesn't look like yours, it looks hideous! However, I do have Adblock so don't get adverts.
