Why am I getting an advert for an xbox?
There used to be semi useful adverts (eg linux related one!) but now all i get is xbox or 'myfavouritemagazines.co.uk' (I assume that is where u can buy LXF from)
Any other random adverts seen around? _________________ For certain you have to be lost to find the places that can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was |

I don't seem to see any adverts at all, other than the ukfast at the bottom of the page  _________________ still looking for that door into summer |

"About" to be used is why you have those other adverts in the first place  _________________ Join GiffGaff and get £5 free credit |

AdblockPlus and I've only blocked *.ru and *.doubleclick.net, makes a huge difference. |

Our company launched a new travel insurance product for people going abroad for medical treatment. Ever since then dilbert.com has been displaying quite a lot of breast enlargement adverts on it's site. *sigh*  _________________ --

Now it's GoogleAds: block the original image from the ad-server and you'll get some GoogleAds instead. And these are not images from a server, but inserted scripts, which make me quite anxious...
Future, do something about it and if you don't, loose business: mine! (and probably others too) I've already payed for my subscribtion, so I expect an ad-free site to surf around. A bit of your own ads I can live with, but this is waaaaayyy over the top...  |

I sometimes get an advert on the homepage but the rest of the website is clear. _________________ For certain you have to be lost to find the places that can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was |
