Ehm.... Is there any way to filter the adverts shown on the forum?

I don't mind adverts, but it's showing me nearly naked ladies in suggestive positions today and I'd rather not have that pop up on my screen... I didn't click on it, so no idea what it was advertising but I'd rather not find out.... :huh:

Yuk!  Don't blame you @Squirrel.  I'm getting adverts for trainers and cotton shirts. 

@Orchid @Jenee @Windsor - What's the deals with naked ladies popping up all over the shop?  :coy:

hehe, yes indeed, it's switched now to 90th anniversary stamps of the royal family, at least they're matching the topic of the forum! But would still be good if there is a way to filer the 'adult' ones out...

:lol: I read your post as the ads contained naked pictures of YOU :lmao:

OK sorry, not funny. The ads are tied to your browsing history. If you use a shared computer, you may occasionally get something strange. I will ask Windsor if there is a G rating system we can install.

FYI Windsor has adjusted the Ad controls so they are a bit more G rated now :lol:

haha, thanks! I thought they would be based on browsing history as they often show stuff I read or searched for and there's only two people using this computer and I've not been looking at naked women, so :windsor:

Keep me posted if those X rated ads come back.  :P :P

Eye eye... saucy spousal secrets are being revealed. Looks like there are more benefits to holding a forum account than originally advertised :shifty:

haha, maybe I want the X rated ads turned on after all, that way I'll know what the other half's been looking at!
