Shh but ....if you click ad choices in top right hand corner of the banner you can turn them all off. They have gone for now at least.

I agree with. Bells Bells, rather pay a small fee than get advertised at all the time, or at east have tAge option to pay rather than have the ads. Having the same problem recently on another forum I use and it's really annoying. Will try turning them off though.

Im having trouble turning it off on the phone. I dont like the adverts especially the dating one it is offensive and inappropriate.

I'm getting 'chat online with sexy Russian girls' - this is going to make fetch nsfw.

Ugh. Is it necessary? I'll understand if it is, but still, ugh.

Just about shit myself....I am listening to music with my headphone plugged in and the loudest "YOU HAVE MAIL!" advert blasted out over the music.

Scared the shit out of me, give me a pay option instead of adverts any day, I hate adverts.

About This Thread

Maintained by Son of a Pronator Man
Fetch says: "I don't choose the ads, I just supply the holes, and the people who pay my salary and supply a server choose what they want to put in them. The change was a surprise to me too, and I've asked for some clarification on the thinking.

If you get any particularly dodgy ones, e.g. Russian mail order brides, or ones that break the user experience, it would be helpful for me to see some screenshots (ian AT fetcheveryone.com), and I'll feed those back."

And: "I've just clicked the little blue triangle in the top right corner of the ad, and looked at the opt-out options. On the page it took me to (after it took a while to think about it), there was a button called something like 'Choose All Companies' - I clicked that, and thus far, it seems to have opted me out of all the ads."
