User Forum Topic Submitted by Russell on March 19, 2009 - 9:22am Maybe someone here can help me with this little problem? There are constant advertisements of singles sites in video formats on the right side of my Yahoo inbox.The girls are a little too bouncy and make suggestive faces.It's basically soft porn. I hate them because my kids see them and they pop up when I am online in public places. It looks like I have to pay yahoo $20 a year to get rid of them. I feel like I am being blackmailed because any other consumer content would not bother me. Is there any other way to get rid of this besides paying a mordida to Yahoo. Don't worry about embarrassing me with something simple. I am after all the one who still uses the quote function here properly only half of the time. Thanks in advance. ‹ OT: financial infidelity OT: Crazy Full Court Middle School Miracle Shot › Login or register to post comments Printer-friendly version The ads I see on yahoo and Submitted by UCGal on March 19, 2009 - 9:31am. The ads I see on yahoo and yahoo mail I assume are targeted at some of the surfing I do... I say this because when I was researching buying music for my son's piano lessons - I started seeing music ads. When my husband and I were dreaming about buying a boat and looking at boat websites a lot - I started seeing marina ads and yacht ads... And when I've been researching airfare for vacations, I start seeing lots of resort ads... I'm not speculating why you're getting bouncy girls with suggestive faces... Just saying that that the ads I see, tend to correlate to recent browsing. Login or register to post comments It wasn't that recent! I Submitted by Russell on March 19, 2009 - 9:38am. It wasn't that recent! I don't think my surfing is it. My name is in my email address and is a male name, of course. I have had some things come in my email box that look like someone was spying though. Innocent stuff too. i think I am being pushed into signing up for the deluxe email.

For the problem of the bouncing bimbos, go into your Yahoo profile and try deleting your birthday. I myself don't like inline ad servers as they tend to muck up the context.

Seriously that Adblock thingy just sped up my browsing big time. Nice tip.

I know it's not as simple as the first three suggestions you make and I paid extra for automatic degaussing of the cathode ray tube.

There are downloadable lists on the Net. Adblock blocks the Irish girl on DailyWTF. Major flaw.

I just tried IE8 and so far I like it,if you have a 64 bit processor I would recommend giving it a try. Actually I meant Vista 64 bit.

I don't do it to block ads. I don't block ads. I would not change my primary browser in order to run Adblock. Getting used to ALT, V, C after CTRL+U back in Y2K was enough adjustment for me.

How come I don't get this bouncing bimbo problem? I'm using Yahoo's class email browser though (I hate the new Yahoo email that looks like Outlook). Oh, and my yahoo profile probably has the "female" box checked off instead. Heh heh.

That will block out any ads you don't want to see. I would add the 'noscript' plug-in as well. I don't have the Ad Blocker extension and I don't get the bouncy adds. You will need to selectively choose which sites get to run Javascript on your machine.. which is an initial hassle.. but it is worth it.. also may cure the 'text' issue. I would not recommend Internet Exploder.. because of its use of ActiveX. ActiveX allows a website to download a piece of binary code (no sandbox) and run it on your machine. This is how things like 'Gator' get installed on a person's machine. Setting IE to signed ActiveX does not really do anything. Just makes sure that M$FT gets their fee for someone creating an ActiveX component. Yahoo profile is another thing to look at... @paramount Strange, when I first read the headline to this thread at first I thought you were talking about Realtor's... ROTFLMAO.. you mean as in "she-who-must-not-be-named" and the like? @Russell When putting your Email address on a website, I would recommend 'adorning' it, kind of like how garysears did it, 2nd post up from your last.
