Yeah, I noticed the ads. They're kind of annoying. But is also has 'Click Here To Make This Board As-Free' down the bottom of the page. Do you reckon that's help?

^To get rid of ads you have to purchase "credits". Oh, the joys of using a free forum. I use a proboards board too. For the most part I can just ignore them because they're made to match the layout, so really I barely see them.
But I was irked when I saw that too.

From the Proboards staff:
thought I'd start us off with a new thread here regarding this subject. Here is what has discussed and decided over the last day:
1) Our trial period for the placement of these ads will go until April 16th.
2) After this trial period, we will be implementing an option in the admin panel to change the display location of the ads. If you prefer them to be only displayed at the top, you will have this option.

Hmm... so that's what my add blocker was, er... blocking. Strange, but it's a way to get yourself some money! Ah... I see, at first(in case you didn't notice) Google ads we're at the top of every page, right under the "Home", "Help" and so on buttons... now they've been moved after the first post of each page... and as far as I know, only the administrator of a forum can do that(so it's either Betty Ann or Proboards.com ) As for being random, meh, Google Ads aren't always random, since the ads are generated using a word or more found on the page... But since you want to get rid of them, it's actually simple, get Firefox then get Adblock Plus. With it, you can nuke out any banner, picture, link, flash, frame, whichever(as in, if I don't like it, I can just block myself from viewing any of your avatars) And if it blocks 3rd party banners, pictures and so on, it also decreases the loading time of a web page ;D Thanks for the suggestion Larry, I got Adblock Plus and yes it is indeed blocking! |
