recent ad spam on forums

[bluebarrok]

Who else agrees that the Nintendo Ds ad needs to go. I can live with several hundred ads like the axe ad I see currently....

filling up the sides of the page. But it gets epically annoying when I have to stop what im doing to close or wait for an in-screen pop ad to go away. If you need more money from advertising... Design it in a way that it does not impact our forum use. This would be a great service.

My 2 Cents....

Just block it. xD

cant block an in screen ad... only way to rid myself is

1... OS removes it
2... I manually hit close
3... I wait for it to end and become a side-bar ad

You can if you have firefox, and you can if you have Internet Explorer xD.

leave instructions please :P

and i so agree with kat >.> OS is going to extents that are far beyond completly ignoring their customers, just so they can make more money.

Thanks to the lovely person who made the Internet Explorer one:

Tools->Manage Add-ons->Enable or Disable Add-ons->Disable Shockwave Flash Object.

However, that comes with downsides too, you won't be able to view things like youtube videos while you have it disabled, so you'll need to switch between disabling/enabling whenever you need it. :3


Here is how to do it for firefox:

Okay well I'm using Firefox;

First you go to tools.
Then go to options.
Then click on "Load Images Automatically".
Then type in speed.pointroll.com
Lastly click block and you are done.

Outspark has no control over the ads that pop up on the forums. They use an ad service that chooses the ads and what types. All Outspark can do is request removal/rotation changes. They have contacted their ad service about it and have asked them about changing the rotation so it doesn't come up as often.

Since there are already threads about this in Website Issues, and this isn't a Teva/Fiesta related issue, I'm going to close this. Please refer to Website issues for threads on this, as well as tips on how to ease the annoyance regarding Starfy.

Thanks.
