And if you patronize websites that aren't using offensive advertising services, you can manually unblock those sites and their banner ads to support their real advertisers.

The scripts installed in Firefox and Chrome are tiny, and very useful in reducing page draw speed issues on sites like this. This is a true no-brainer (and I hate that term).

I have a better option for us IE lovers.
http://www.fanboy.co.nz/ie.html

Its IE's built in Tracking Protection and this tpl removes about 99% of those anoying ads everywhere on the net.

Works for me and its protection is already built in. Install that TPL by clicking on it and come back to no ads. Painless, no extra cpu usage.
Block or Unblock specific sites as well, with ease. Just click that TPL and go anywhere you want.

(Now even the brainless can use it)

Hi all,

Yesterday we rolled out a new advertising feature that appends a small ad to the bottom of posted photos. Initially the rollout was sitewide and affected all users; this was to test the functionality of the advertising and was never intended to affect registered members longterm.

As of today, as you can probably see, only traffic coming from search engines will see the new advertising; all others (including regular users of the site and registered members who arrive here via direct means and site referrals) should no longer be seeing those ads.

Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Paul

Paul, than you for coming to the forums and expressing the whys and hows of the situation. I can fully appreciate the feedback. I am thoroughly grateful that IB decided to not use this type of marketing and advertising system throughout RCtech.

Thanks for your frank and honest input on this issue.

To be fair & honest to you Matt...

Why do I miss Shane ?

First
He always answered his pm's no matter what ....

second
Easy to communicate with ....

third

Last but least , his Fair & Open minded moderation ....

Not trying to poke your eye with a stick , rather trying to let you know the reasons why with decent feedback ...
