I seem to be getting a *lot* of indian dating ads, "find your life partner" and "find your perfect partner" and a whole bunch of others. just wondering if anyone else is getting them. Himani is 24 years old! seems she wants me bad!

Ads? What are they? .... Oh yes, I remember now... something I used to get before using Firefox and AdBlocker plus.

I've never seen any adverts on this site. Ever!

That's odd. So with Firefox / AdBlocker plus you see adverts on this site? I think you may have a problem with the settings? Another thing - check which subscriptions you are hooked up to for the blocking lists. Unless you have a current and relevant blocking list adverts could still get through. I can honestly say I've never seen any adverts on this site except when I used IE on one occasion to deliberately see them because people were complaining about some particular adverts and I was curious.

If all your settings and blocking subscriptions are in order then you may have some adware on your computer?

Perhaps you should ask in the computing forum.

Thats a good idea. I think i'll ask there. I find these ads really funny, though.
