So how do you get rid of them? I'm using IE7 and clicked that opt out link and it looped back to the same subject.

They're very annoying to say the least and I nearly flamed a newbie for adding spam into his post.

Spam Canada Thailand Holidays are just some of the words being targetted

Sounds like it is an IE7 opt-in and not an issue with Thaivisa then.

it's not a war of the browsers ...........

so , don't try to turn it into one .

I'd be interested to know if this was initiated by TV Admin. If it's an IE (and Opera) opt-in seems odd that we all got hit at the same time.

Hope that reply is not targeted at me. It's simply an indication that it may be related to a specific browser version. It matters little to me what you use. We're still looking into it.

From time to time we are experimenting different ways of monetizing the site in order to pay for hosting, colocation, bandwidth, legal expenses etc.

The new ads some of you see is so called content targeted links delivered by Kontera. We will try them out for a while and see how they work out. These ads are not spyware.

Thanks for the update George, just was confusing that some members see them and some not and seemed browser related.

[taxexile]

i keep getting very annoying popups asking if kontera.com can send cookies to my computer.

damm nuisance and an intrusion.

cant you find a way to make money without annoying your users?

Much as I laud the requirements to fund this wonderful site these are hardly TARGETED ads.

Whatever, if you're persistant with the disable link they do indeed stop

[george]

We are experimenting with this type of contextual ads. The links should be less intrusive in our tests shortly. Thanks for your patience.

[Mid]

your playground sir , too run as you see fit .

my personal disapproval is on record

I don't have a pop up allowing me to disable those adds - and I have changed setings in my Tools -> Pop-up blocker setting to High.

Seeing those adds today in the morning I did think that my computer was hijacked by a malware - before I spottet that thread I run already spybot and ad-aware (without sucess, of course).

I would suspect these adds might turn off surfers from browsing the boards - they won't come back because they would be afraid of getting a virus

To disable the ads, hover over one, click the '?', on the page that loads, right at the bottom is a link to disable, you may need to click it a couple of times to convince it to go away

Thanks for that information. They were borthering me both in IE6 and IE7 (IE6 in vmware). I just followed your instructions and they are gone. IMHO very annoying since they interfere with reading the text.

Thanks for your feedback!
