All the ads are blaring out again, I've had neurofen , galvaston and that boots foot thingy to name but three.

[AB Editor]

What is it for though?

[AB Editor]

I only ask as there are several "boots" ones, but some are boots stuff as prizes and others are from boots themselves. I have not seen a video with noise yet however.

[AB Editor]

If anyone could give me more detail about which ads are annoying them I will return to them later in the week.

[factor-fiction]

Thanks Ed- maybe Baldric will know which ad he is referring to. I'll look out for it too. I don't mind ads with sound if you have to hover over them to get the sound but some just seem to come as I toggle down the page

[AB Editor]

I have looked for all the issues raised and it's sometimes difficult to find the ad in question, sadly.

What I'm saying is, I am trying, honest! :)

[Khandro]

ed; I've asked before, do you get any revenue from the German ones; I've got 3 on here at the moment. main none under where I am writing is for

''NO NO NO pumpin blood' Die debut single des schwedischen Indie-pop trios.'
Don't think I need translate that.

[Khandro]

'main one'............ Oh God! poopy pants (alzheimer) is now back along with Tommy Hilfiger.

[AB Editor]

Frankly Khandro I don't know why you get them, but I must assume there is some revenue generate from them. It is possible that you have a virus/rogue add-on which is replace ads as you go about the web. For example, when you do a Google search, do you get image adverts in the results?

I have found your Reckitt Benckiser ads Baldric. These were on the Topic/Category page for Chatterbank - which has a different source for the square ads.

When reporting ads in the future please paste the url you saw the ad on - that will probably speed things up.

I've written to the supplier to sort out those and to see what we can do about blocking them in the future.

[AB Editor]

"'main one'............ Oh God! poopy pants (alzheimer) is now back along with Tommy Hilfiger."

I'm not sure why you're complaining - do these make noise or pop over?

[Baldric]

Ok Ed,

[sir.prize]

I must be fortunate - I get loads of ads but not one 'blares out' when I run cursor over them. They are all silent.

I do find an advert for The New York Times somewhat baffling on AnswerBank.

[AB Editor]

"I do find an advert for The New York Times somewhat baffling on AnswerBank."

You probably get it because it's targeted at you, or you've been marked as "does crossword" by a robot somewhere - and as far as I know the NY Times crossword is "a big deal" in crossword circles?

[sir.prize]

These robots know too much about us . . . .

[AB Editor]

"These robots know too much about us . . . ."

Maybe, or maybe it's broken, as you suggested. I'd give it a 50/50 chance to either be terrifying robot-spy future become reality OR someone left a jam sandwich in the machine and it's broken it, a bit.

[Khandro]

Ed; I'm not really complaining (except for poopy pants) it's just that I thought you should know. Just got a German ad. for Michael Caine's new film by the way.

[AB Editor]

I mean, don't you think it's a bit unfair to make fun of someone with Alzheimer's for not having complete bowel control?

Considering our demographic it's probably a helpful ad to some, if not all.

What about my Google question? Can you answer that please?

[cupid04]

The boots ad is the gadget for getting dead skin off your feet!

[AB Editor]

"The boots ad is the gadget for getting dead skin off your feet!"

Think we've got it.

[cupid04]

Ta very much, did you like your song? lol!

Another one here- while I was in Law. It was to the right of the 'best answer'
