Ads on this site. the new ones that is

Post Reply New Topic

Alex, I'd like to draw your attention to the new ads you recently placed here
Now, I know they are to help generate income but they have a severe downside

1) some of these ads are Flash movies which are severely resource intensive than they should be
2) Some of these ads stop pages loading properly, this means the user has to stop it loading, then refresh the page to get it to load correctly
3) the flash ads don't look like flash movies until you attempt to right-click on them and try and block them (assuming you use a browser that can do that), once you try to clear the context menu from flash player, it sometimes causes problems there due to the increased resource usage these ads seem to have, this can be very severe for users that have an extremely low amount of ram in their systems and cannot afford an upgrade at this present time

Would you please consider removing them or filtering out the problem ads

Thanks

PS, if any other members of WP would like to comment on this then feel free

I guess I'm lucky, I don't seem to get the flash ads.

I can't do anything about this unless I have the names of the companies/products that the ads are advertising and a description of what they look like.

fair enough
