I come here for bike related info, not EPILEPSY.
What is the caper adding bright, flashing banners to the top of every page? It makes posting almost unbearable.

If there's one that is insanely annoying, take a screen shot, and preferably the location of where its pointing to (and any other relevant info (ie. shape of ad, location on page - banner, footer, etc). Mike normally removes them, after spending hours hunting for the particular ad. Plain old bitching about it, with no information, achieves nothing.
They are distributed by a third party supplier so Mike DOES NOT pre-approve every single last add.
If you decide not to post the relevant information, the only answer I can give you is "Suck it up"

Yup, Mintbread, you've been around long enough to know if you have an issue with any ad to just post it here or PM me about it. If you want me to kill some of the ads then just become a site supporter as I use the funds from the site supporters to remove ads (popups/unders) as most find them the most annoying. But suggesting an ad to remove is free and I'll do my best to do that for you.
No one complained before about them and then the gunny thing is I just removed a whole wack of banner ads and pops a few days ago.
What I need is:
- A screen shot of what the ad looks like
- Properties (right click on the ad if you can then click on properties and copy/past it) like:
http://cdn5.tribalfusion.com/media/725016.gif
- When you click on it where the ad sends you (the destination URL).
That will allow me to search for the ad to kill it. It isn't easy but it's doable.
Mike.
