fetcheveryone Jan 2017 1:47pm, 27 Jan 2017 18,143 posts	0 fetcheveryone Hi Keefy, I rebuilt the system to cope with the new standing order stuff that I've put together - and in theory you should have got an fmail if the system recognised you as a subscriber at that point. You can also check this by going to Profile > Settings and looking for Subscriber Options. If it's picked you up, you'll have the option to turn the ads off in there. Cheers Ian

Dvorak Jan 2017 1:54pm, 27 Jan 2017 12,969 posts	0 Dvorak Do ads make enough to make it worthwhile for subscribers to turn them on every now and then? Is the money garnered mainly through display or clickthrough, if you can tell us that? (If you can't tell us for commercial reasons, maybe someone with knowledge of the webads business could advise us in general terms.)

HappyG(rrr) Sep 2018 1:34pm, 24 Sep 2018 29,226 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) For those of us who still have ads (and here I'll do a quick ad for how to turn off ads - just go subscribe and Keep Fetch Free! fetcheveryone.com/invite.php ) should I be worried that I am seeing (because I know they're targeted) so many of: Fat Lad At The Back - sports clothing for a certain type of gent Health Insurance - for the nearly dead? Those Special Lady Friends - ummm? Equifax - dodgy credit? BMW, ATS - so many car ads? Could be worse I suppose. Could be adverts for races that I'm not training for! G
