Default Blocking Certain Ads

Hi Dave,

There has been ads advertising gay.com and I was wondering if we could get that blocked b/c it's not very work safe. For the record I'm not anti-gay or anything, I just don't think my work would appreciate it.

Thanks

Allen,

I will put the request in for you. I do need a bit more info when you see an advertisement that is inappropriate for our forum. Before leaving the page with the advertisement, right click on it and then select properties and copy the ENTIRE address of the offending advertisement and post up here or PM me with it.

If you remember the thread you were in that caused the advertisement to show up (google ads like that are context sensitive) would be helpful as well so I can try to recreate it.

I'll keep that in mind for the next time. I've seen it while just looking at the different threads @ the Club House as well as just the main forum page (cl.com/forums)

Saw it again, here's the link. It was on the main forum page.
