On 6th December Proboards disabled all but Google ads owing to some recent 'dubious' content.
The basic premise with Google ads is that they pick up on key words under discussion on the page you are viewing, but also on cookies on your computer. So if you have made a recent online purchase at M&S or Tesco for instance or even if you have viewed an online retailer's website then if there is an appropriate Google ad for that retailer that is what you will most likely see.
It should also be noted that not everyone viewing the same page will see the same ads.

I have ads from snow rental at the moment and I had Ski Amadee before. And as they are absolutely Dutch adds I suppose Spru is right we all get what is embedded on our computer and not always related to the board. Can't say I mind seeing the skiing things but I was expecting plants and all. Had the BF too but ignored it as Christmas is not yet past ;D Now I have never gone into this stuff so who got that one active?

I do my food shopping on-line with Sainsbury's - would someone else's choice of sites affect what others get in the banner?

I've got that red clock as well JW no idea how to get rid of it and it's really annoying. I have to scroll down to click on my bookmarks every time. Wonder if Rf or Spruance would know how to get rid of it?

Count down to the New Year, Yes got it too. Might be Proboard at it so far it does not interfere with things though.

What we can do if it is annoying, and I have to admit that it is annoying me a little, is to put it over the Diggit...might be more appropriate??

Haivng it over the Diggit sounds like a really good idea Rf. We can all enjoy the countdown then when we're popping in for a tipple. ;D

Post by Dutchy on Dec 28, 2009 10:59:17 GMT
;D ;D ;D Just found who got it there and realized we actually asked for one in the Diggit. Let's not get the whip out ( although he might like a good spanking ;D ) See if it can go to the Diggit. But I haven't a clue how you are going to get it there.

Post by Rosefriend on Dec 28, 2009 11:00:24 GMT
OK - I will have a look and see what I can do...

EDIT: Hope things are better - I have moved the clock to the Diggit.

Eek Jenny - how did that happen We are ex-directory but for 3 days we were bothered every half an hour by a number that turned out to be Talk Talk, I left them listening to the Jeremy Kyle show at one point because I was so fed up with them.
