Adverts on the internet keep it going but those adverts on the forum which ever so slightly intrude on the text in this forum are especially irritating and insulting. I presume this is deliberate and not a quirk of my browser - webbo?
Message to such advertisers- I would go a long way to avoid the products being thus advertised

As as result of writing the above I actually read the offending advert. It's targeted and about stuff I have already bought or looked at on the internet! Feeling a bit paranoid.

Sometimes, as part of the free service certain forums give you, they have to fund it by having adverts.
Like it or lose it

Use Firefox and install addon Adblock Plus and they will all go away. Google if confused.

MacBook Pro, Safari and Adblock. I've never seen an ad. It does make me feel smug.

adblock works a treat. Won't do the internet as a whole any good but the advertisers shouldn't have introduced so many ways of intruding on your browsing so actively. Would have tolerated them happily otherwise.
