Ad at the top of warrior pages is driving me crazy!

You can't buy ad space here. Allen promotes things he thinks are worth
while.

agree! mr preston must be paying top bucks for the top spot.

Zachary,

There's an 'ignore' feature on this forum.

Maybe if you set it to ignore Allen's posts the ad might disappear.

Only problem is, you might disappear, too.

I've only seen it once Allen, it may be something
to do with browser settings. especially if people
have their browser set to "reject cookies".

I use FireFox too - ver. 3.0.5 - not sure what version Bev is using, but I have not experienced repeat displays.

I second that!

While I agree that seeing this advert is a small price to pay for the information you're getting in the forum, it does drives people mad if they see it every time they access the forum. I have seen it every time I log in and it only disappeared after I used FireFox instead of IE.

I don't think it's Allen's intention either so it's good that we report these things.

haha yeah i have to admit the ad is a bit annoying, but i'm sure it would be worth the time to check it out. eventually.

I've seen the ad a few times now also.

No complaints though, its a small price to pay for such a goldmine.

I see it every time I sign on also.

Every page I visit it comes up.

Looks like a great program, but not for me.
I am focused on other things. Glad I got over
buying everything in site.

Hi,

I've been seeing it constantly too, and for a long time the ad was double - it repeated itself (Firefox) - no problemo.

Having to scroll a few inches didn't make me 'annoyed', 'mad' or 'angry.'

If it did, I'd change something about myself, rather than the ad, to solve the problem.

Seriously, life's too short to let such things invoke negative emotions. If you're young, you will probably discard this advice. As you get older, you will either start agreeing with me, or find yourself ageing far too quickly and turning rapidly into 'Victor Meldrew' of 'one foot in the grave.'

'I doooon't beliiiieve it...'



Hi BigSofty,

It helped to re-assure me I was in the right place ;-)

Hi Sweet Jane,

Only because you're sweet, and because I like the Lou Reed song, I'll let you have a sip - I brought two straws. Pass the Ambre Solaire please...{slip,slap,slop}

Hi Leanne,

Cheers!

Yeah I like many Lou Reed songs, but mainly the more obscure ones (I am the same with many of my favourite musicians, but I guess I accept that the commercial singles need 'rounded edges' etc to make them universally palatable/danceable(?)).

But I would add that compared to many, I actually like more of his more universally popular tracks, than I do with others - perhaps because it's from that generation just before marketers took a grip, along with (MIDI) electronically enhanced musicians.

Back on topic - I'm more than a little intrigued by the quantity of people who get rattled by an ad on this forum. I admit that many interruptive marketing ads DO rattle my cage. But because my visits here are a part of my work, I'm particularly keen not to allow anything to arouse negative emotions - whereas when it happens during my 'playtime' - I'm a little less easy-going about it.

How do people get through a working day when having to scroll a bit on a forum gets them so riled that they would voice that opinion here, knowing that it's an affront to the value that they receive here for free? I can only assume that the reason is because they find it particularly annoying.

Yet I would wager that many of these people happily subject their prospects (their 'bread and butter') to virtual assistant lockdown and multiple OTO hell.

I'm not looking to suggest that I am right or anything (for a change ) but it does intrigue me.

Anyone?
