Little rant here-I understand this is a free site (and love it very much!) and understand that the ads that are shown are based on your profile. BUT, today's ad for Groupon shows a dozen glazed donuts!!!! They are my weakness and I'm dying here! I must leave the computer now before I go to Dunkin Donuts!

O.K., thanks, I feel a little better.

    LOL, I haven't seen that doughnut add. Anyway when it comes up, just tell your body that it didn't fancy doughnut before seeing that add and the craving will pass soon,

    Fire your internet explorer...

    Hire Fire Fox and block ads...

    I never see the ads.

    I am not tech savvy but think somehow your system recognizes what you type or read or search. If you start paying attention you'll see patterns. I left a comment on a 30DS thread a while back and for a couple weeks all my ads were Jillian Michaels. Sooo ... DON'T SAY D-O-N-U-T-S!:laugh:

    Unfortunately, the site has no control of which ads show up.

    If you also need an antivirus program, Kaspersky Internet Security comes with a really good banner-blocker. It has prevented me from seeing 717 banners in the last week alone.

    I saw that the first time and thought my computer was reading my mind. So I immediately grabbed my tin-foil hat to block the wave-lengths. Now for some reason I just get mental assistance ads.

    lol i was just going to say that I get that ad all the time and I have no idea what they are. Some creepy easter cookie thing? I don't know but it is nearly impossible to work where i work without typing cookie, as we are having to tell our employees to clear theirs all the time. When we tell them to clear their cache we get a blank stare. :-)

    :bigsmile: On another note, though... MFP... I might be willing to pay for added features and to be ad free. Just puttin' it out there.

    lol i wasn't suggesting it for everybody... just for those who do want to pay for it. And the added features would have to be WELLL worth paying for. I wouldn't pay for it just to get rid of ads. I can usually just ignore ads with no trouble. ;-)

    It is funny that they would want to advertise milkshakes and donuts on a weight loss site, but maybe they think we are w-e-a k! We can pass this test guys!!

    hmmm mine always shows sushi! :sick: Never seen a donut ad, sometimes (like just now) it just shows 70% off shopping deals with pictures of shoes, bags, clothes etc.
