Banner Ads

[wdfifteen]

It's interesting to see what banner ads pop up on Wayne's page when I click various PPOT threads. The Honda Ad thread brought a local Honda dealer's ad. The Ford Idiot thread brought a local Kia dealer and now there is a Lexus ad up. When I open the Chest thread - nothing for a while, then a Google+ ad. Too bad Wayne can't use that space - he's paying for it.

Umm, what's makes you think Wayne is out bucks? Other sites sell that space.....

"CougerLand - Remember the cheerleaders at school? They've all grown up"

I am so glad I don't get the ads.

You can't be on a PC.

The ads I see are related to what I did in the last 15 minutes. I'm starting to clear my cache a lot more often.

Firefox + AdBlock Plus = Win

No banner ads, no youtube ads, none of that BS.

Maybe because Rick does nothing but FB and PP.

I just have a decent setup for blocking ads that has been discussed at great length

[Joe Bob]

Which is, praytell?

How come no program for IE?

I'll try it on both and get back to ya.....the last time I used them they tended to freeze.

IE blows

[wdfifteen]

I just thought it was interesting what ads different subjects bring up. Yeah, I know about ad blockers.

The only time you should ever use IE is when your computer is fresh out of the box...and only then to go download Chrome or Firefox.

[Joe Bob]

Or with websites that only support IE.

Yeah...well, those shouldn't exist. BUT you do make a good point, sir. I've stumbled across a few of them myself (mostly military related stuff), and it pisses me off to no end.

Yep, gubmint sites that also disable auto fill functions....you type in a page of information and then it crashes.

Our clinicals software only works on IE8 or IE9 which means we can't use any tablets at the moment since Windows 8 is IE10 and the others are non-IE.
