GR have answered by telling me to send them a screen shot of the page..as if they do not know what ads are on this site??!! I have tried enetering the web site responsible for these ads acelerator-media dot com and my puta will not allow me to access it so must be bad it is a tracker site.........the plot thickens!!!! space I have sent this email to GR this evening: I feel I must write to make it known that I am not at all happy with the adverts that keep appearing on the GR pages, especially the ones that have the 'FART' button, Bingo and whats on ITV . I think it unfair that after having payed my subscription during the last 3 years that I have to put up with this intrusion. I would like you to give the option to GR users to opt for or against accepting these adverts and tracking (spyware) devices. I look forward to receiving your prompt reply. Please will you all back me and sign below as I would like us to be able to opt out of having these bugs on the site afterall we pay for our membership but the ads are now cluttering it up. |

I agree with all you say, Maid Marian. The flashing gives me migraines and after spending several hours working with my computer last week my husband was able to ascertain for certain that it is this site that (a) leeches memory from my computer making it necessary for me to reboot every couple of days and (b) introduces more spyware and pop-ups (and now pop-unders!!!) to my computer than all other sites/programs I use put together. It's not an encouragement to use the site by any means and if things don't improve I can see myself using it less and less until not at all. I used to have several good reasons for logging on here but soon I won't have any! :-( |

Apparently those who are not paid up members get even more adverts. I just close my eyes to them. I suppose it is put up or pay more subscription at the end of the day. At the moment all I have is bingo on the left and whats on itv on the right. Oh and Butlins on the very top but this is usually out of sight |

You don't have to put up with the ads. Just use a different browser, like Firefox (with the adblocker extension) or Opera, instead of Internet Explorer. |

think you will find that the adds on this site or any other site for that matter are there to aid the financing of the site But if you want your subs to increase a lot more then continue LOL try get them all removed Paul |

Crazy Browser also had ad blocker, and a pop up blocker, and it's FREE, so I don't see the ads either. As for spyware and tracking cookies, you don't have to accept them either, there are plenty of free programs around to block those. You DO still have a choice. |

I totally agree with you and therefore I'm adding my name. What makes me laugh is the 'Whats on ITV' box - I too busy on here to watch TV! The other week there was an advert on the right hand side showing three girls that you could supposedly meet, one dressed up as Lara Croft Tomb Raider! - I can imagine that some people on this site would be really offended by that, I wasn't too impressed myself. Thank goodness it's no longer there. We shouldn't have to put up with these adverts especially when we pay a subsciption. |

You have my vote, I think they get enough to run the site without all the advertising on here. Sue |
