That mosquito banner ad is really annoying.Follow

Not sure if you can do anything at all, but one of the rotating banner ads has a "swat the mosquito" motif and includes sound of it buzzing. It's annoying as hell. Just giving you a heads up.

I dont know if they are still using the same ad server, but they used to need the source code info for the offending ad.

Also, if you get premium, there would be no ads... Smiley: wink2

Get Firefox, Adblock (plugin), and NoScript (plugin)! Yay, no ads anywhere ever...
Edit: But I can see why someone would want to get rid of it, because some work places can't use firefox or if you go someplace that doesn't have it.

I'd like to support getting rid of the buzzing fly ad as well. Since I can't really get premium in my current situation and I don't mind ads that are just on the page.

The first time I encountered this add, I thought something was wrong with my computer. I was on my laptop listening to a cd, and thought that the disk drive was going to explode or something. I later figured out it was the stupid add. Shame on me for being fooled by an advertisement.

I hope they get rid of it.

Then why complain when you access a site for free. They do need to pay for the bandwidth.

8 out of 10 cases I don't mind the ads. I'm not going to put up money I don't have to to get rid of one buzzing mosquito.

I don't know how much they get per ad load, but I'd wager that some of us probably generate more revenue than premium members with the number of ads we load. If we get ad blockers, then the ad doesn't even load, and that revenue goes away, so... it'd be a good idea to get rid of things that essentially force us to block all ads.

I think this would be an appropriate place to throw in the obligatory "kwitcherbitchin'"

I'm also going to complain about that ad. I read from work on an old Mac running OS 9. No way to upgrade to a browser that blocks ads. I need to leave my sound on so I can hear when I get my mail. And I don't feel the need to get premium anymore, because the only reason I ever had it in the first place was for the avatar.

I'll see if I can get it pulled. In the mean time, are the annoying sideways ones at the top fixed yet? I didn't see any this morning.

Still seeing sideways banners at the top. I say give everyone free premium for the next year just to be on the safe side.

What sucks the most is when you get a vertical mosquito banner ad. >:O (Which I got while typing this post out...)

I continue to get the "find your graduating class" ad at both the top and the side, and it makes me scroll down a full screen to get past it.

I don't know if you can do anything about it, but it's quite annoying >.<

The mosquito is especially horrible when I'm browsing at work, or when I have chosen to open multiple links in a new window and I have to frantically tab through them all trying to find the one that I have to close.
