Whats This Little Blue Arrow Thing?

[Daffy D]

This little blue arrow thing keeps appearing at different places on various pages.

Clicking on it does nothing so what is it for?

It should give you the Topic Summary of First Post, First Unread Post and Last Post.

Working OK for me in FireFox 11

I think your talking about the white arrow (preview topic) that shows when you run the cusor over a topic.

This one works OK for me.

This blue on is over on the left of the page.

It is the same for me as for Daffy D.

Nothing happens when I put my cursor over it.

Yup sorry about that

I have no idea what it means and I don't seem to be able to make it appear.

It looks to me as if an add has failed to load as it is in an empty lite blue area.

Believe you have it. If I hover over it I do get a message (Ad Choices). I get it in FF but not IE or Chrome.

What are AdChoices?

The AdChoices icon appears on sites that use Google's AdSense program to show ads. While Google often shows you ads based on the content of the page you are viewing, we also show some ads based on the types of websites you visit, view, or where you interact with an ad or other Google product supported by Google's advertising services. In doing this, Google doesn't know your name or any other personal information about you. Google simply recognizes the number stored in your browser on the DoubleClick cookie, and shows ads related to the interest and inferred demographic categories associated with that cookie. It's our goal to make these ads as relevant and useful as possible for you. Google doesn't create categories, or show ads, based on sensitive topics such as race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.

Where can I learn more about how Google protects privacy?

What choices do I have about advertising from Google?

• Google lets you edit the categories associated with your browser, or opt out of personalized advertising, through Google's Ads Preferences Manager.
  
• Google may use your Google account information, such as items you +1 on Google properties and across the web, to personalize content and ads on non-Google websites. If you'd like to control how you see +1 recommendations from people you know, and how your +1 recommendations are shown to others, please visit the +1 button account setting page.
