Banner Ads

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
