prescreen the ad feed
One example of a horrific flash ad:
http://content.yieldmanager.edgesuit...253D3164861%2C
A flashing green and black background surrounding a fake windows message - flickering at a rate which would probably induce an epileptic fit for someone with epilepsy.
( wonder if that falls foul of any UK laws regarding advertising.... )
please, sort the stupid adverts out ( such as that ****ing beeping one ) or dont complain when people install things like adblock to remove them.
(incidently, only seeing the adverts in the first place as i'm on my dev laptop which has adblock disabled on purpose while developing sites)

Thanks, was hoping as much.
The ads are being replaced, forum hasn't been yet, so once that happens the ad should (hopefully) go away.

Re: prescreen the ad feed
Never seen that one, all I get is that Travian one which seems more than a little ironic to me.

don't think anyone have stated they were removed, just that they would be, and i can't replace what i don't have or don't have access to.
will try to get them old ads removed or replaced when we migrate the forum
