Adblock = no advertisements

 

+1 to AdBlock.

Another annoyance I've noticed over the past week or so is an increase in spam email.

I have an email address which is ONLY used for the forum. For around 10 days now I've had a mass of spam originating from the USA to this email account.

They are advertising on the F-Type forum that the new Camry is "Beyond Bold" and "Turns driving into pure excitement".

I mean we're F-Type owners. Do they expect us to believe this drivel!

If they put half as much effort into engineering their cars as they do on hyping them, they might have a hope.

 

They probably think they are advertising to mere mortals not F Type owners. Nothing to get tense about.

I am rather enjoying the adverts on the home at the moment. Some lovely young ladies advertising a clothing range called Nookie and a strange advert encouraging me to buy a car at a dealership 7 hours drive away. Maybe my packets are hitting the Interweb at that point. I did notice Goggle maps self locating to the same town for a couple of weeks a while ago.

 

I would be happy to have any new car,Toyota or otherwise. Never had a brand new one and probably never will. Best I have had was 1 year old with 20,000 km on the clock.

 

I am quite annoyed at the ads popping up in the middle of photos
or in the middle of a narrative.
The narrative ads sometimes obscure the narrative and when trying
to dismiss them they respond with a more annoying message about
how sorry they are and how they will try to tune further messages
to my tastes.
Bleeehh! Yuck!

The ads at the top and bottom or even on the sides that are
out of the posts area are okay and are sometimes informative and helpful.
Provided they are automotive related of course.
But, the ones inside the posts are very annoying. They rarely have any
value to me as a Jaguar owner.
Like I'm interested in a "Low Cholesterol salad dressing" when I'm reading
about a transmission problem, NOT !

If the format continues, I will seek other forums that are less "annoying".

Did you try adblock? It works for me.

 

Okay, I loaded adblock again. It was wiped out after the last Firefox update.
The ads that pop up in the posts have disappeared.
I will be in the forum after all.

Again, I don't mind the RELEVANT ads on the sides and the top and bottom.
I do appreciate those ads because they are useful and informative.
